  • Our brand strategy deep dive is led by Lydia, who works with you to help you gain tangible clarity on your brand so that you can better reach your audience.

    Are you getting plenty of inquiries but from all the wrong people? Are you feeling unclear on you who serve? Are you in an endless slow season and don’t know where to go next? Starting with strategy lets us understand your business so that we can find solutions and set you up for long-term succeso.

    This package is great as a prequel to our Visual Brand Identity package or as a standalone service. Here’s what’s included:

    • Prep packet with dozens of questions to get you thinking about what makes your business unique

    • Two hour virtual or in-person strategy workshop led by Lydia to nail down your brand essence and target audience

  • The process begins with us sending you an in-depth questionnaire so we can get an understanding of your brand as a whole and the strategy behind that. If you prefer to work through that together, I also have the option to do a strategy session together over a video call. Either way, we'll combine what you give us with our own research to make sure we know exactly who your dream client is and how we can reach them.

    After that research phase, we'll dive right into the design itself, exploring a multitude of design options before honing in on the best concept and building it out in it's entirety. I'll then send over a presentation walking you through your primary logo, secondary logo, brand marks, colors, fonts, and anything else we've identified that your brand needs.

    From there, we'll refine as needed until every detail is absolutely perfect. We'll export all of your final files and organize them into folders accompanied by an Brand Standards guide which shows you exactly how to use everything we've created.

    • Brand Strategy Questionnaire

FAQs

  • Shoot us an email to let us know what package you’d like to move forward with, and our Studio Manager will get your contract and deposit link sent over ASAP.

  • We require a non-refundable 30% deposit to book your project and remaining payments are typically divided monthly until your project launch date. If you’d prefer a different payment plan, let us know and we’ll do our best to make it work for you.

  • YES! But, there are a lot of different levels of brand strategy, and we can help you determine what’s best for you. At minimum, our visual identity package includes a strategy questionnaire, but if your brand needs more than that, we can add on full brand strategy as a prequel to the design process.

  • Nope! We begin everything by first building a strategic brand identity. Then, when it's time to design your website, we're coming from a place of knowing your target audience, what information we need to give them, and how we can guide them through an excellent user journey. Without a visual identity (logos, colors, fonts, and the overall "vibe" of your brand, we can't build you a website that reaches your target audience.

  • Yes! Photography is a huge part of a website and we need high resolution, web sized professional photography to do our job well and guarantee that you get the best return on your investment. We are happy to help you source a photographer in your area!

  • Technically the answer is yes; however, we don’t recommend it. Writing for a website is very different than being a good writer in general, and you’ll get a better bang for your buck from us in terms of design when the flow of strategic copywriting leads the way. We believe so much in the power of a copywriter that we’ll even give you a $500 discount on your website design for hiring a professional copywriter!

  • Nope! We launch on time, every time. Just ask our clients. The one exception to this is print and packaging projects — we can give you a timeline for our design (and always stick to it), but printing timelines depend on your selected printing partner.

 “Telltale makes beautiful branding and web design attainable. They took a passion project (and messy, inconsistent branding) and created a beautiful design that both amplified our message and appealed to our audience. Every font, every graphic element, every decision reflected Lydia's thoughtfulness and her devotion to developing a brand that remained true to our vision. She is endlessly creative, highly organized, and so communicative throughout the process. This project equipped us for growth and success, and I am forever grateful.”

— LITTLE CITY JOURNAL

“Lydia was able to capture the spirit of our business and our ideal customer so well, and the Brand Strategy that she put together has allowed our marketing team to be focused and efficient in a way that we never had before. The entire Telltale team made the process so easy, and their communication is incredible — I never had a question on how the project was progressing or what was needed from me; I was in the loop the entire time. The insights and clarity we received from working with them are priceless!

— BERKS HOMES

“Telltale was so much fun to work with. Not only is Lydia vibrant and fun, she really knows what she’s doing! I have an interior design business and also a young family, and the Telltale team made the process of working together so easy. Having a real brand design and strategy has exploded my confidence in presenting myself as a professional.”
