STUdio 8 Branding Services

This may give you an opportunity to think of some other projects, even if they were ideas that you were planning to tackle yourself. You’ve got my creative brain for the day (or half-day). You can use it for anything - an assessment of your website or branding, a brochure design, another variation of your logo, forms and stationery, whatever you decide.

Absolutely. Powerhouse sessions are run remotely so that I can fully concentrate without distraction. Most of our communication will be via phone or our Hub. We can use Zoom to screenshare at any point through the day if needed.

Please note that these sessions are run in AEST Australian time, so if you are enquiring about working from another country, ensure this timezone will work for you to be available. (Typically we start at 9:00am AEST). Our invoicing system works well in every country.

A half-day is my minimum rate. Unfortunately, projects that take less than that are not financially viable for my business model. If you are in need of a simple batch of business cards (for example) and absolutely nothing else, you may be best to take your branding assets to another designer or print shop to have them done there. (Also check out question #2 above!)

I certainly don’t expect you to know how much time it takes to design your list or priorities - there are a hundred variables! If you are unsure whether you may need a half-day, full day or multiple days to ensure you get everything you need finished, please send me an email before you book. We can chat and I will let you know a recommendation. 

Before our session, I get you to list all of your jobs in order of priority. During the session, I will start from the top of the list. As there are a huge number of factors in the timeframe of each project, I can’t guarantee deliverables. I can, however, estimate approximate times quite well so will let you know how much of a session it is likely to take. (See Question 4 above as well).

Powerhouse Sessions require a 50% deposit to book and you can pay online once you schedule your day on this page. The other 50% will be due after your session, before your designs are delivered.

Payment can be done via credit card through our secure online payment system (Stripe) or direct deposit to our account. 

It is absolutely possible to design a starter brand in a day! Your mini-brand will include the essentials to get you started. This is ideal for people who need to launch quickly and efficiently.

You will receive my signature Brand Discovery worksheets ahead of time, which help me (but also you!) gain insight on your business and customers. I will design a logo (text-based), two logomarks (logo variations), a suite of logo files, a colour palette and your brand fonts/type hierarchy. You’ll also receive a 1-2 page Brand Style Guide for your branding assets, my Graphic/Logo Usage Guide and an awesome Resource Guide to help you launch. (These, as well as your branding package, are designed and delivered the day following your session).

We've designed some phenomenal brands in a day. However, let’s be frank, it isn’t for everyone. You will be getting amazing brand assets unique to you with a quick turnaround. But you are trading speed for the customisation and strategic design that would go into a larger branding project. My standard custom branding design services are typically a 3-5 week turnaround and average $3500-$6000. If you are looking for an expertly crafted brand, strategically and thoughtfully designed to empower your business for connection and growth, please enquire for the full branding service! If you have a new business or sub-brand that needs to be launched quickly, this could be just the right fit. (Note that the mini-brand is a customised text-based logo and does not typically include illustrations or graphics).

Note: - Design intensives require fast feedback. For this reason, this service is may only available be available in Australia/New Zealand (or similar time zones) due to time zone limitations with communication.

It is certainly possible to design a small website in a day! Your 3-4 page site will include a basic home page, about page, services page and an optional fillable contact form page (all totally on-brand!). I build out both the desktop and mobile versions. This is ideal for people who need to launch quickly and efficiently.

We do all of the design in a day, though the actual process is typically between 2-4 days to launch. Your Powerhouse website includes image and setup work the day before and launch work, development, testing, domain connection and Zoom training the day after. 

We've designed phenomenal sites in a day. However, let’s be frank, it isn’t for everyone. You will be getting a website unique to you with a quick turnaround. But you are trading speed for the customisation and strategic design that would go into a larger site build. Additionally, sites which include more pages, blogs, sales pages, e-commerce or additional pages are not possible to design in a day.

My standard custom web design services are typically a 3-5-week turnaround and average $5000-$7000. If you are looking for a custom-built website optimised for growth and conversion, please enquire here! If you have a simple site and need it launched quickly, this could be just the right fit (note: we can always add more later!)

Your site will be designed in the amazing Showit platform (my favourite!). Your Showit web hosting subscription and domain name purchase is separate and I’ll work with you to set this up before the day. Once the site is built, I will transfer it to you and run you through a training to show you how easy it is to edit and manage yourself!

Please let me know if you'd like to see some of the sites we've done in a day.

Note: - Design intensives require fast feedback. For this reason, this service is may only available be available in Australia/New Zealand (or similar time zones) due to time zone limitations with communication.

 

No, I work from my studio and you are free to work through the day from your home or workplace. We are in touch through the day via phone, text, Trello messages or if needed, a quick Zoom screen share. Just ensure you choose a day that allows you to be available for quick feedback (not a day of meetings and appointments). If you are close by and would rather work together on the day, just let me know.

Yes, you will need to be available online throughout the day. This is a collaborative day and the success of the day hinges greatly on prompt feedback as I design. Please choose a day free of other commitments or meetings to get the most from your day. This will ensure there are no holdups and will give you the most out of your investment.

Branding services and other marketing efforts go hand in hand. Branding provides the foundation and framework for all marketing activities. A strong brand identity ensures consistency across different marketing channels, enabling effective communication and recognition. Branding services help establish brand positioning and messaging, which can then be integrated into various marketing campaigns, digital strategies, social media efforts, and advertising initiatives, amplifying their impact and creating a cohesive brand experience for customers. Powerhouse days are perfect for consultancy to see if you are on track with your branding and marketing.
