We design the brand, then we make the business behind it work.
Twelve services across three levers. Most clients start with one audit and end up rebuilding the offer, the customer path and the way the team sells.
First the truth. Then the plan. Then the invoice.

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.
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.
We are not an agency that does everything. We diagnose, plan, teach and supervise quality. Execution in specialist areas goes to partners we trust, and we tell you what it costs.

Audit
Not sure where the money leaks out?
Start with the business potential audit — a structured look at everything between a first impression and a repeat purchase.
What the market actually thinks you are, and what that belief costs you in every negotiation.
02
Offer & pricing
Whether what you sell is understandable, complete, and priced to reward the bigger decision.
03
Customer path
Where people hesitate, ask, wait — and where they quietly give up before paying.
04
Processes & cost
Which steps produce nothing, which depend on one person, and what that fragility costs.
05
Team & standards
Whether the people at the point of contact know the offer, the standard and the answer.
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.
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.
1Option 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.
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
3Option 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
4Option 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.
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.
If we can start straight away — we will say so. If we need time — we will say that too. First let us check whether we are a good fit for each other.
Fill out the form and we will get back to you as soon as possible. A sentence about what is not working is enough to start.
Brand DNA
Your brand has a personality whether you designed it or not.
Carl Jung (1875–1961) described recurring character patterns in stories and in people. The twelve-archetype model used in branding was popularised later, mainly by Mark and Pearson. We use it for one practical reason: a brand that behaves like one clear character is remembered, and one that behaves like four is not.
The alignment that decides everything
Owner archetype
How you actually make decisions, hire, argue and sell. This one is not a choice — it is already there.
→
Brand archetype
The character the company plays in public: tone, look, promise, the way it handles a complaint.
→
Customer archetype
Who feels understood by that character — and who quietly decides you are not for them.
When the three line up, selling gets easier and marketing gets cheaper. When they do not, you end up paying for ads that argue with your own reception desk.
Our own mix, since you will ask
We ran the exercise on ourselves first. This is the result — and it explains a lot about how we work.
The Magician50%
We turn a mess into a working system. What looks like magic from the outside is usually a process somebody finally wrote down.
The Sage30%
We explain before we change. You should never have to make a decision without understanding why.
The Explorer20%
New markets, new tools, new countries. We are usually the first in the room to have tried the thing.
Plus a strong streak of the Creator
Because none of it matters until something actually exists — a logo, a script, a price list, a van, a trained team.
