Brand refinement · Unlocking business potential · Customer experience design

We design brands.We rebuild thebusiness behind them.

A brand is not a logo. It is everything a customer goes through before they pay you. We take that whole path apart — perception, the offer, processes, the buying journey, the customer experience at every stage, the sales conversation and the team that runs it — and put it back together so it sells on its own.

We connect the dots.

Between the brand, the business and the people who carry both.

The name

Where HYXA came from

HYXA started with us. Literally.

From the surname Hylla and its two letters “L”. There are two of them. Just as there are two of us.

Two characters, two points of view, two different ways of getting there. Sometimes by another road, but usually to the same place.

We joined those two “L”s into a single mark — X. And an ordinary letter became something more.

  • Businesses with the right people
  • People with opportunities
  • Brands with their real potential
  • Ideas with a direction that lets them grow

X is the point of contact

The place where people, ideas, businesses, skills and opportunities meet. That is usually where the most interesting things happen — when somebody connects what used to work separately.

That is how HYXA came about. And Connect followed naturally, because connecting is exactly what we do.

Sometimes one good connection is enough for a business to start looking, working and selling completely differently.

HYXA Connect is two people, one X and one idea: the greatest potential usually appears exactly where something connects well.

Meet us

Two people who will get to know your team, your processes and your challenges before they propose anything.

Since 2009 we have designed brands and rebuilt the businesses behind them. You are never handed to an account manager — you work with us.

Our surname on the door

H is where HYXA starts — with the first letter of our surname. That is not decoration; it is pride, and the reason we answer the phone ourselves and never hide behind an account manager. When your own name stands behind a company, there is no room for an anonymous approach. We sign every project with ourselves.

Responsibility with a name attached
A vision is a place on the map. A goal is the date we agree on for getting there.Most companies have the first and skip the second. All our work is the road between the two — drawn, costed and travelled together with you.

Changing your present to change your future.

Who we are

Most businesses do not have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem — an offer nobody understands, a process that leaks, a team guessing what the owner wants, and a customer who gives up two clicks before paying. We fix that, in the right order.

What we really give

Clarity, then growth

We name what is not working, directly and in plain language, before we design anything. Most of our clients then hear things nobody in the company had dared to say.

How we work

Inside the business, not beside it

We work with your team, walk the customer path, and analyse the offer, the communication, the service and the sales process before we propose any changes.

How we get paid

Profit, hours or equity

We match the model to the project — from a straightforward fee, through payment tied to the result, to taking equity.

What we do

Three levers. Brand, business, customer.

Pull one and something changes. Pull all three in the right order and the same company starts working — and earning — differently.

01

Brand

How the company is understood, remembered and judged — before the first contact with a customer.

  • Brand design & identity
  • Positioning and brand perception
  • Rebranding and logo redesign
  • Naming, claim, tone of voice
02

Business

What happens inside the company: the offer, the processes, the standards and the people who deliver them.

  • Business potential audit
  • Process design and optimisation
  • Guidelines for owners and managers
  • Employee training and enablement
  • Expanding the product and service offer
03

Customer

The road from first impression to payment, and everything that makes buying feel obvious to the customer.

  • Customer journey mapping
  • Customer experience design
  • Intuitive sales paths and conversion
  • Websites and eCommerce that sell
  • Retention, upsell and referrals

We walk the customer path and analyse internal processes to find the places that are holding growth back.

03

Plan

We arrange the brand, the offer, the processes and sales in the order that makes the most business sense.

04

Implement

Together with your team — through concrete standards, finished materials, tools and training.

05

Measure

We set the starting point and check what actually changed after the work was done.

06

Connect

People, companies, skills and opportunities that can open new directions for your business.

Culture & values

Six sides. One shape.

Value 1 of 6

Collaboration

The best results happen when people genuinely work together — openly, as partners, and in one direction.

We are generous with our ideas.

Client voice

What working with us actually sounds like

Three voices from projects that ran from the first conversation to the last delivery.

From the very beginning, working with HYXA Connect was a seamless experience. Their professionalism and deep market knowledge stood out immediately. Łukasz and the HYXA team were not only highly efficient but also completely focused on achieving the best possible outcome for us. Truly an outstanding service.

Start here

The audit that shows what is really happening in your company.

Most owners feel that something is not working. Pointing at exactly where is much harder. We look at the company from the customer’s perspective, walk their whole path and check what helps the decision and what gets in its way. You get a concrete picture of the situation — no guessing.

Snapshot

7–10 days

For companies that know something is wrong but cannot yet name the cause.

We show how the market sees your company, what the customer experiences and where their journey can stall.

  • Mystery shopper: contact by phone, email and web form
  • First impression: website, Google Business profile and social media
  • Analysis of reviews and the comments customers repeat most often
  • The whole buying path walked end to end
  • A report with the 10 areas most in need of improvement
  • A 60-minute call covering the findings and recommendations
OutcomeYou get: a ranked list of what is costing you money right now.

Deep scan

3–4 weeks

For companies that sell, have traffic and customers, but whose results do not match the scale of their activity.

Everything from level one, extended with an analysis of what happens inside the company: processes, the offer, prices, the team and working standards.

  • A difficult-situation test: how the team reacts under pressure
  • Conversations with the people in direct contact with customers
  • A map of processes and the points that slow work down or complicate it
  • A review of the offer, its structure and pricing policy

Reset

3–12 months

For companies that know what needs to change but need a partner to run the whole process.

  • A new offer, pricing logic and sales path
  • Standards, scripts and written instructions
  • Training in marketing, sales, customer service and brand
  • Bonus and commission systems, and delegating responsibility

  • Campaigns planned by HYXA and delivered with specialist partners
  • Monthly measurement against the starting point
OutcomeOutcome: a company that works differently — and a team that understands why.

One warning, up front: sometimes the answer is not the market, the team or the budget. Sometimes it is the owner. If you want us to say it out loud, we will — and then we will help you change it.

Pick and mix

Six ways we look at your company from the outside

We agree every test with you in advance. You can pick one, several, or the full set. The sixth we design together — around a problem specific to your company.

01

Incognito customer

We contact your company the way an ordinary customer would — through the form, by phone or in person. We check the response time, the way you communicate, the quality of the questions asked, the follow-up and how the whole conversation goes.

You get: a record of the contact, a transcript and a timeline of the whole customer experience.

02

Demanding customer

We check how the company reacts when a situation goes beyond the standard — a complaint, time pressure or an unusual request. That is when you find out what your team really does when the owner is not watching.

You get: a map of where the standard works well and where improvisation begins.

03

Competitor benchmark

We walk the same buying path at selected competitors — with the same enquiry and at a similar time. Then we set their customer experience against yours.

You get: a comparison of price, response speed, communication, the sales process and the elements worth adopting or improving.

04

The team speaks first

We run structured, confidential conversations with the people who deal with customers and everyday processes. They are often the first to see where the company loses time, customers or energy.

You get: the team’s most important observations and the areas they believe need changing — without attributing anything to named individuals.

05

The lost-customer call

With your consent we contact people who asked for an offer or a quote but did not become customers. We ask what influenced their decision and why they chose another solution.

You get: the real reasons behind lost sales opportunities — with no guesswork.

06

The open sixth — your call

Not every problem fits a ready-made box. Sometimes it is communication between departments. Sometimes a decision that circulates between people for far too long. Sometimes a process nobody questions any more, because “it has always been done this way”. You name the subject. We design the way to examine it properly.

You get: a test built around your question and concrete conclusions you can base a decision on.

It goes straight into your brief and is treated as confidential from the start of our work together.

We look for gaps in the system, not for someone to dismiss. Recordings stay with you and are covered by the NDA.

Not sure where to start?

Answer the six questions in the brief. On that basis we will point to the level that makes sense for your company. And if we decide you do not need one at all, we will say so plainly.

What stays behind

What is still in your company a month after we leave

A project with us does not end with a presentation. It ends with solutions your team uses every day. Below is a typical range — what most often needs changing, and what is actually left behind after our work.

01

Logo and identity system

Usually hurts: Logo appears in several versions, colours differ between channels, and every material looks slightly different.

What stays:One coherent system — the logo in every format, colours, typography, templates and a simple brand manual.

02

Website and online store

Usually hurts: The site looks good but does not lead the customer to a decision, is hard to update, or no longer reflects what the company is today.

What stays:A fast, mobile and secure site with a considered customer path, which the team can update on its own.

03

Vehicle livery

Usually hurts: The fleet is on the road every day but does nothing for brand recognition.

What stays:A consistent livery design, production files, a standard for future vehicles and support with fitting.

04

Company workwear

Usually hurts: The brand looks professional online, but not always in direct contact with the customer.

What stays:Consistent workwear, an agreed size range, a supplier and a simple system for reordering.

05

Signage and shopfronts

Usually hurts: The location does not communicate clearly enough who you are and what you offer.

What stays:Signs, window graphics, boards and wayfinding designed as one system and prepared for production.

06

Company materials and print

Usually hurts: The quality of the documents does not match the quality of the work the company delivers.

What stays:Consistent templates for offers, documents, presentations and sales materials — editable and ready for daily use.

07

CRM and internal systems

Usually hurts: Customer information is scattered across inboxes, spreadsheets and individual people.

What stays:One system matched to the size of the company, ordered stages of work, migrated data and a team that knows how to use it.

08

Automation

Usually hurts: Repetitive tasks take up the time of people who could be doing something far more valuable.

What stays:Connected processes, automated actions and documentation showing how the whole system works.

09

Brand film and photography

Usually hurts: The company can talk about itself brilliantly in a conversation, but cannot show the same thing online.

What stays:A brand film, shorter formats for social media and a library of authentic photographs ready to use in communication.

10

Team training and scripts

Usually hurts: The knowledge sits in individual heads, and everyone answers the customer slightly differently.

What stays:Conversation standards, response scripts, training materials and a simple system for onboarding new people.

11

Strategy on one page

Usually hurts: The direction of the company exists mainly in the owner’s head, and the team knows only fragments of it.

What stays:One readable map: where we are going, what we do first, who is responsible for what and how we will know it worked.

We do not show everything publicly. Our clients’ projects and information are protected by a mutual NDA. Selected work and results we can show you during a conversation.

Connections

We also open doors — not just fix what is behind them.

Sometimes the greatest value is not another change inside the company, but the right person, partner, market or opportunity you simply had no access to before.

Entering new markets

Research, adapting the offer and communication to the local customer, first contacts and a realistic market-entry plan — in Poland, the UK, Europe, the UAE and other directions.

Sales and partner network

We help find the right partners, distributors and sources of referrals, and build a model of cooperation that is worth something to both sides.

Cooperation between companies

We connect companies wherever a joint project, campaign, supply arrangement or referral can create new value for both sides.

Grants and development funding

We help put the idea, the business model, the numbers and the documentation in order — and where specialist handling is needed, we connect you with the right experts.

A community, not a client list

We build relationships that do not end with the project. Referrals, meetings and a network of contacts mean the companies we meet can, in time, create value for one another too.

Expansion of the offer

We look for new products and services you could offer your existing customers — we design them, price them, test them and help bring them to market.

Explorers and makers

We do not describe the summit. We climb it with you.

Every brand has its own view from the top. You only need to know the way up.

We uncover what is already there. The rest we build.

HYXA Connect — Strategy · Growth · Creation
Ways of working

Three ways of being paid. Each matched to the character of the project.

Not every project should be settled the same way. We can work on a classic model, tie part of our fee to the result, or take an equity stake. The terms, the scope and the way we measure are agreed before we start — clearly and in writing.

Option 1

Paid for the work and the hours

The simplest model. We agree the scope, the rate and what is to be delivered. It works well for audits, workshops, training, strategy and defined project tasks.

  • A clear hourly, daily or project rate
  • A quote before we start
  • A transparent log of the work done
  • A clearly defined scope and schedule
Fill in the brief
Option 2

Payment tied to the result

First we establish the starting point and how it will be measured. Then we implement the changes, and part of our fee depends on the agreed improvement. If the result does not appear, neither does the fee for it.

  • A starting point agreed before we begin
  • Payment tied to improvement, not to turnover
  • A defined period and a cap on the fee
  • Transparent reporting on both sides
  • The measurement method agreed before the work starts
Option 3

Payment in equity

We reserve this model for companies in which we see potential and want to commit long term. Part of the fee can be replaced by a minority stake. Then we are not just an adviser on a single project — we have a shared interest in building the company’s value.

  • A minority stake defined by contract
  • A clear scope of our involvement
  • Vesting tied to agreed terms or milestones
  • Exit terms agreed from the outset
Option 4

Start-ups

Our favourite moment is the one where everything can still be built properly, from the ground up. Brand, offer, first customers, sales, processes and first hires — in a start-up all of these appear almost at once. That is why we can get involved from the very beginning and build them as one system, instead of repairing each of them separately a few years later. On selected projects we work for a lower fee combined with an agreed stake, which makes our interest simple: the value of our work grows when the company grows.

  • Brand and positioning from scratch
  • The offer and the first sales path
  • First processes and standards
  • Support in building the team
  • Access to our network of partners and contacts
  • Long-term support as you grow
Tell us about the idea

The rules are simple. Result-based and equity models are agreed individually, and all terms are written down before the work starts. For equity arrangements and more complex settlements the documentation is prepared by specialists, and each side has the opportunity for independent legal and accounting review. Clear rules first. Then the work. No surprises along the way.

More from HYXA

Tools we bring in — beyond what you asked for

Sometimes the solution appears outside the original scope.

Not on the invoice

While we work we often see a tool, a process or a solution the client had not considered. If it can genuinely make running the company easier, we show it and decide together whether it is worth implementing. We do not propose something because it can be sold — we propose it when we see a specific problem it can solve.

It stays with you

Accounts, data, access and tools belong to you from the start. Once the work is finished the company should not be dependent on HYXA.

Only when it makes sense

A company employing four people does not need systems designed for forty. We match the solution to the scale, not the scale to the solution.
