What makes a studio a venture studio?

Brand Building Process
STEP ONE
Brand idea & strategy
We help founders land their core brand idea -the concept the company is there to popularise, associate with and land in the culture, and the strategy that will translate the brand idea into business success.
Step TWO
Brand messaging
We create a messaging framework that sets out all key narrative elements, such as the customer, problem, Unique Value Proposition and how we describe the company and what we do in ways that are compelling, differentiating and ownable.
Step THREE
Brand identity & initial assets
We work through a 3 stage design sprint process to achieve a unique visual identity which embodies the strategic objectives and core brand idea. This includes discovery and research, conceptual thinking and designing, to land and deliver distinctive assets.
Step four
Website & digital assets
Brands are so often discovered and built online. We deliver right-sized website and digital presence projects that communicate and carry the brand idea and reflect and attract your customers.
Step five
Brand Toolkit
Every brand we work with gets going with a set of initial brand assets and templates, so they're ready to pick up and run with the brand, executing and maintaining the highest standards from day one.
