Expectations

Our Commitment

Your brand is personal to you, and we want to treat it with that same care; that’s the only way it will feel authentic and personal to your audience. You can expect us to be partners in helping you achieve your goals, challenging you to answer the critical questions, and celebrating the milestones along the way.

Professionalism

How We Work

We are a 100% work-from-home agency. Some of us have dogs, and some of us have small children. We all have mail carriers, passing vehicles, and the occasional (or frequent) Amazon delivery. We promise to minimize distractions to the best of our ability, and aside from an errant dog bark or a child’s giggle during a meeting, we assure you the work we deliver will meet or exceed your expectations. 

Transparency

Keeping You In the Loop

Delays? They happen. Changes? They happen more often. Your project is important to us, and when issues arise we will communicate them as clearly, quickly, and efficiently as possible. We request you do the same – if you need to scale up, scale back, change scope, pause, or speed up your project – please let us know as soon as you can.

Response Times

What You Can Expect

We do our best to respond to your requests in a timely manner however when differing time-zones, holidays, or project ramp-ups get in the way it can be frustrating. While we may not always be able to reply immediately, know that your project is top-of-mind and in progress. It may be helpful to review your project calendar or submit an update request. Below please find some general communication guidelines and target response times:

Message – 6-12 hours

Contact your team leader with urgent matters only, please!

Feedback

Requesting Changes

We have created a design review workflow to gather client feedback throughout your Brand Development project. We will guide you through the process at the appropriate milestones, and do our best to accommodate your change requests as outlined in your contract or accepted project estimate. We use different review tools for different mediums, and ask that you please gather and reserve your feedback for the design review stages in order to help us move FAST.
