Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know

Solo entrepreneur without clear direction? Choose Brand Direction Programme. Organisation with multiple teams? Choose PACE. Your strategy's already in place but the visual expression doesn't fit? Choose Brand Identity. Not sure? Book a conversation and it'll soon become clear.
Yes. Brand Direction Programme and Brand Identity are extensions of each other. Many clients start with Brand Direction Programme (strategy) and continue to Brand Identity (visual execution). PACE sits somewhat apart: that's for organisations at scale.
Look at your challenge. Doubting the direction of your brand? Then it's a strategic challenge. The expression doesn't fit? Then it's an identity challenge. Communication fragmenting within your organisation? Then it's a scaling challenge.
The Brand Direction Programme is about strategy: who you are, for whom, and what you promise. That's the foundation. A brand identity programme translates that foundation into a visual language: logo, colours, typography and brand manual. The two programmes reinforce each other. If you've already got your strategy in order, then starting directly with the identity is a logical choice.
The PACE model is developed for organisations where multiple people work on the brand, such as teams, departments or franchise organisations. For smaller companies with one or two brand guardians, the Brand Direction Programme is usually a better starting point. Not sure which programme suits your situation? Get in touch and we'll look through it together.
After the Brand Direction Programme you have after three months a clear positioning and brand promise you can get started with immediately. After a brand identity programme you have a complete visual system. The PACE model works as ongoing brand direction: the results become stronger the longer the model is in use.
