Growing VISIONARY Brands

A full brand identity system to support your next chapter. Best for established brands with growth in mind. Pricing and timeline depend on your goals and current stage.

Creative Compass (Brand Strategy)

Collaborative strategic work to understand your business, goals, audience, and competitors. We will define what makes your business special and let it inform and guide all creative efforts.

Logo Design / Visual Identity System

Your logo is a handshake. Your visual identity system is a conversation that builds consistency and trust. Be unique, ownable, relatable to your audience, and unforgettable.

Verbal Identity / Messaging

Let's define how you sound and the key things you’ll say as a brand. Nailing down your messaging makes it easy to share with other service providers and avoid endless revisions that “just don’t sound like you.”

Brand Guidelines & Kit

Create a source of truth for how your branding lives in the wild , packaged in a user-friendly kit. This will be vital as you work with other service providers who need to know how (and how not) to use your logo and other branding elements.

Custom Website & Brand Support

Sharpe Creative can build a custom, on-brand, easy-to-manage website and marketing materials to put your brand’s best foot forward 24/7.

custom websites

microsite

1-3 page microsite built with Webflow. Typically a more in-depth home/landing page plus a few simple utility pages like contact us, book a meeting, etc. Webflow is a very nimble platform and a solid foundation for your business as it grows.

Typical Investment
$3K

marketing or ecommerce site

A dynamic website totally customized to your business’s needs in Webflow. It’ll be unique, branded, and ownable while prioritizing user experience and making it easy to manage on your own.

Custom Pricing

Design-only website engagements

I can design prototypes and work with your team or a web development partner to build and launch. If you prefer a platform that isn’t Webflow (Hubspot, WordPress, Shopify, etc.) or want to build an application, I can propose a more customized way to work together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What should I budget for branding?

Plus sign

It depends. The packages page is a good place to start. And we can always have a no-pressure conversation.

The short answer is that Sharpe Creative exists with the belief that not everyone needs to buy the farm. For where you are, maybe a dairy cow and a few chickens is the smart choice. I’ll help you figure out what you really need.

A stage-based approach + pricing structure.

Plus

If you’re a new venture , we’ll build from scratch —smart, efficient, and responsible— keeping your stage in mind. Many new venture clients keep working with Sharpe Creative as they hit the growth phase.

If you’re an established brand, it’s wise to do at least a minor refresh every 3–5 years to prevent your brand from feeling stale and to reflect your business as it evolves. This doesn’t necessarily mean a total overhaul (though it could), but the bigger the business shift, the more oomph the approach should have.

No two clients are exactly the same. I’ll create a proposal based on your current stage of business. Try the assessment for a little guidance.

How long will the process take?

Plus

Strategic branding work shouldn’t be rushed. If you are rebranding to hit a deadline, you probably aren't rebranding for the right reasons. Let’s spend the appropriate time so that what we create will work hard for you for years.

I move a little quicker for startups and new ventures with intensives (2 weeks) and basic scopes (4-5 weeks).

Typically, a full branding process takes approximately 8+ weeks (including time for reviews).

A typical marketing website can take approximately 2 months, but if it’s done alongside branding, the processes can overlap, saving time.

Who do you work with?

Plus

Business size and industry aren’t critical factors. Experience across various industries means every client is treated as a new story to tell. Every business (regardless of size) can benefit from professional branding and web design. I like passionate, visionary people (in whatever they do). If that’s you, we'll take a stage-based approach to pricing. Business size and industry aren’t critical factors.

We like passionate, visionary people (in whatever they do). If that is you, we'll take a stage-based approach to pricing how we help you punch in the next weight class.

Do you do full-service marketing?

Plus

It’s better to excel at a few things than be mediocre at many. For more expansive projects, I collaborate with my network of trusted experts such as specialized strategists, copywriters, photographers, animators, videographers, and platform-specific web developers when needed.

While things like content marketing, SEO, and paid advertising are important, Sharpe Creative believes that strong, distinct branding is the foundation for all of it. Once we dial that in, I get by with a little help from some expert friends.

Do you do one-off design projects?

Plus

Sharpe Creative is brand-focused, not just a graphic design shop. I do ongoing Brand Support, but if your branding isn't in a good place, those efforts will mostly be a waste of time and money.

If your branding and website are both rock-solid, we can discuss an ongoing creative Brand Support partnership, or I can tackle larger one-off projects like brand campaigns, microsites, package design, spatial design, merch design, or custom graphics kits.
