How It Runs

One To Two Weeks, Five Steps, One Approval Gate

Most agencies quote six to twelve weeks for this. The difference is not corner cutting, it is that there is no account layer and no queue your project waits in.

  1. Discovery

    A working session on what you sell, who is already buying, and where the current positioning is losing them. Bring what you have, including the parts you think are wrong.

  2. Positioning

    Competitor analysis, audience character profiles, and the purpose and values the rest of the brand hangs off. This is the half that decides whether the design has anything to say.

  3. Direction

    Moodboards and visual direction, agreed before a single logo is drawn. This is the gate: nothing gets designed against a direction you have not signed off, which is what stops a project dying in round four of revisions.

  4. Identity

    The logo system, colour palette, typography, and the usage rules that hold them together. Two rounds of revisions are built into the schedule rather than treated as a problem.

  5. Applied and handoff

    Business cards, social assets, document design, the full guide, and every source file. You leave owning all of it, not licensing it back from us.

You are working directly with the person doing the work, so a decision made on Tuesday is built on Tuesday.

What You Get

Everything You Need To Show Up Consistently

A brand is not a logo file. Here is what actually lands in your hands, and what you can do with it the day the project ends.

  • Strategy

    • A 23 page brand strategy document, not a one page summary
    • Purpose, values, and the positioning that separates you from the field
    • Character analysis: who your brand is, and how it should sound
    • Moodboarding and visual direction, agreed before any design starts
    • The marketing strategy that follows from the positioning

  • Identity

    • Naming, when you need one
    • A logo system: primary, secondary, and the marks for tight spaces
    • Color palette with the usage rules that keep it consistent
    • Typography selection and hierarchy
    • Brand guidelines your future designers and printers can follow

  • Applied

    • Business cards, print ready
    • Social media assets sized for the platforms you actually use
    • Document and presentation design
    • Source files, so you are never locked to one vendor

What we do not do: wide format print, packaging, and signage. Business cards are the exception. If your project needs those, the guidelines are built so any printer can execute them without coming back to us.

Client Proof

What The Work Is Like To Buy

Both ends of the range: a full strategy engagement, and a first brand for a founder spending their own money.

  • I had the pleasure of collaborating with Josh on developing a product and brand strategy for a data solutions company. His framework is rooted in extensive market research and a deep dive into understanding the core product, brand strategy, and target market. He integrates his technical skills with strategic insight to deliver efficient, engaging, and well thought out strategies from both market and engineering perspectives.

  • Josh met me in person for our initial consultation, took detailed notes, and asked thoughtful questions to fully understand what I needed. He helped me fine tune the layout and structure, and also with my logo design, colour scheming, and the definition of my brand. He went above and beyond what I originally thought I paid for, which is priceless to me as a young entrepreneur.

Brand Strategy Design FAQ

How long does a full branding engagement take?
One to two weeks, start to handoff. Most agencies quote six to twelve. The difference is not corner cutting, it is that a studio this size has no account layer, no internal handoffs, and no queue your project waits in. You are working directly with the person doing the work, so a decision made on Tuesday is built on Tuesday.
Who will actually be doing the work?
Josh Duncan, the founder. That is the whole answer. There is no account manager translating your goals to a junior designer you never meet, which is the usual failure mode when a small business hires a larger agency. The tradeoff is honest: a studio takes on fewer projects at once. If the timing works, you get the principal on every deliverable.
Do you work with businesses outside Denver?
Yes. Denver is home base and we meet local clients in person whenever they would like, which is often the better way to run a positioning session. But the work is delivered nationwide, and we have run full engagements as far afield as Ireland. Nothing about the process requires you to be in Colorado.
What is brand strategy, and why does my business need it?
Brand strategy is the foundation of a memorable business. It's all about defining what sets you apart, what makes you unique, who you want to reach, and how to connect with them. A strong brand creates emotion, builds instant trust, and ensures your business is consistent in the minds of your customers.
What's the process for building a brand strategy with DigitalNova?
We make it simple. First, we'll have a discovery call to understand your goals. Then you'll fill out a detailed questionnaire about your business and brand preferences. From there, we develop ideas for your logo, colors, and typography, and create a comprehensive brand strategy guide covering your target audience, brand voice, marketing strategies, and more.
How long does a typical brand strategy project take?
Most brand strategy projects, including your brand strategy guide and logo, are completed in about a week, depending on revisions and feedback.
Can you help rebrand an existing business or refresh my brand?
Absolutely! Whether you're looking to update your look or clarify your message, we often help existing businesses with brand refreshes or full rebrands.
What if I don't know what I want for my brand yet?
No problem! That's what we're here for. Through our brand questionnaire and discovery call, we'll help you explore ideas and clarify your brand identity. We'll guide you through every step, even if you're starting from scratch.
