Book your free intro callWhat is a Brand Sprint, and who is it for?
You’re building something exceptional. But no one can tell. Your brand might look okay, maybe even quite good, but so does everyone else’s. And in a market full of noise, good enough just isn’t enough. The real risk is drowning in a sea of sameness.
With our 4-week Brand Sprint, your brand will finally reflect the quality of your vision. We build a purpose-driven, memorable and consistent identity from scratch. Tailored to your business, not pulled from a preset.
Lightning fast. Perfect for startups at any stage. Project timing: 4 weeks. Starts at 15.000 €.

How does a 4-week Brand Sprint work?
Four weeks, four stages, one approval at the end of each. The kick-off opens week 1; by the end of week 4 your brand is live and documented.
Week 1 — Define: how do we get to know your brand?
We start with a focused Brand Strategy questionnaire to understand your vision and priorities. In a kick-off workshop, we clarify final details and align on direction.
Milestone: decide direction
Week 2 — Design: how many visual directions do you see?
In only one week we craft two visual directions for your brand. In week 2 we finalize the design of the chosen direction based on your feedback.
Milestone: approve identity
Week 3 — Develop: how does the website get built?
During week 3 we design and develop your Webflow landing page guided by the visual direction, ensuring the page fully reflects your new brand identity.
Milestone: approve website
Week 4 — Deliver: what do you have in hand at the end?
In week 4 we bring your brand to life by designing templates for your social media and pitch deck, all clearly explained and documented in a comprehensive brand guide.
Milestone: go live!
How do we use AI in the Brand Sprint?
We use AI to accelerate research, unlock new creative directions, and streamline brand rollout, always guided by human intuition, experience, and vision. Our process equips you with ready-to-use prompts and clear brand rules to scale your brand with consistency.

Frequently asked questions about the Brand Sprint
How long does the Brand Sprint process take?
Our streamlined process takes four weeks for the standard package. That gives us enough time to understand your brand and deliver a complete, ready-to-launch identity without unnecessary delays.
What if I need more than what’s included in a standard Brand Sprint?
We know that every brand is unique and may require more than the essentials. If you need additional services such as packaging design, app interfaces, or more in-depth brand materials, we can expand the scope to fit your goals. Just let us know what you are looking for, and we will tailor the offer to match your needs.
Can the scope of a Brand Sprint be flexible?
Yes, definitely. While we have a defined base package to keep things focused and streamlined, we are open to customizing the scope depending on what your brand needs most. If there is something specific you would like us to include, we can discuss it together and adjust the plan accordingly.
Are Brand Sprints conducted online or in person?
The entire Brand Sprint process happens online. This makes it easy for us to move quickly and efficiently while working with clients from anywhere in the world. You do not need to travel or meet in person. All communication and collaboration take place digitally, which helps us stay flexible and responsive.
Do the Brand Sprint workshop take all day?
Not at all. The first meeting is short and focused. Before we meet, you will complete a set of pre-work exercises that help us get to know your brand. On the first day, we will have a 45-minute to one-hour call to review what you submitted and clarify any open questions. From there, our team takes over and keeps you updated as we move forward.
How much does a Brand Sprint cost?
A standard Brand Sprint package starts at 15.000€. This includes everything you need to launch a clear and professional brand. If your project involves more than the standard offering, such as app design or packaging, we will outline the additional costs clearly before we begin.
Is a website included in the Brand Sprint?
Yes, a fully developed one-page website is always included. We build it in Webflow, which gives us the flexibility to match your new brand perfectly and deliver a modern, responsive site that is ready to use.
Where can Brand Sprints be run?
Because everything is done remotely, we can run the Brand Sprint with you no matter where you are based. Whether you are in a big city or working from a quiet location, as long as you have an internet connection, we can collaborate easily and effectively.
