**Team Introduction** **Ben Stanbury** **Owner** **Tools and Technology** - Google Meet - Adobe Creative Cloud - Google Drive - Google Docs - Google Chat - Google Sheets - Google Slides --- **Frequently Asked Questions** **What should I expect when I start working with you?** I believe that the onboarding process should be simple and clear. Below is an overview of how I guide new clients through the creative journey. 1. **Schedule a Discovery Call** The first step is to book a Discovery Call. Here, you can share information about your business and your objectives. I'll then provide details on how we can collaborate, what the process entails, and typical costs. In roughly twenty minutes, we cover a lot, and my goal is to be as helpful as possible and address any questions you may have. This call is completely free, genuinely informative, and comes with no strings attached. 2. **Creating a Project Proposal** If our discussion resonates with you and aligns with your budget and timeline, we can proceed to create a project proposal. Together, we will outline the essentials and desires for your new brand based on our dialogue. Subsequently, I will send you a detailed proposal and quote. You can sign it and return it if you wish to proceed. 3. **Collaborative Development** Once you accept the proposal and quote, we officially start the work. This is where we develop your brand strategy and bring your identity to life, preparing it for public launch. This phase allows for extensive communication and feedback, ensuring you stay informed as the project evolves. We present our work and make adjustments according to your input throughout the process. 4. **Project Launch** At the conclusion of the project, if I’m delivering a new brand identity, I will provide your brand assets, including logo files and any promotional materials I've designed. This package also includes a brand guideline document and optional social media templates. I'm here to support you with any questions or assistance as you introduce your brand to the world! **Duration of Projects** Typically, projects take between eight and ten weeks, depending on the organization’s size and the number of services required. I will give you an estimated timeline so you know what to anticipate throughout our collaboration. **Current Project Interests** I am focused on projects for founders who aim to create a distinct brand that includes not just a logo but also a compelling story, a strong name, and an engagement-worthy identity. I work with three types of clients: - **Startups** needing strategic naming and branding to establish their market presence. - **Emerging businesses** (1-3 years in) that are building their team and reputation, requiring an identity that reflects their growth. - **Businesses undergoing rebranding** that recognize it's time for a cohesive refresh of their outdated identity. **Areas of Focus** I’m particularly passionate about the following types of work: - **Brand Foundations** Through the Brand Foundations Launchpad, I help founders clarify their narrative, positioning, and personality before any naming or design takes place. This approach is ideal for those seeking to launch or relaunch their brand with a solid strategic foundation and alignment. - **Brand Naming** I assist in developing unique, memorable, and legally available names, moving beyond generic options. I help founders choose names that align with their positioning, stimulate interest, and create a verbal identity they can confidently build upon. - **Brand Identity Design** I create visual identities that stand out through clear concepts, coherent systems, confident typography, and designs that reflect strategy rather than transient trends. I’m particularly focused on projects aimed at developing a look that is unmistakably "you" in a competitive marketplace. I am dedicated to building brands that are intentional, distinctive, and positioned for long-term success. **Do you work with clients outside of the UK?** Yes, I have experience working with international clients, and the entire program can be managed remotely. I utilize video calls (e.g., Google Meet) for all workshops and presentations, maintaining communication throughout, just like with clients based in the UK.
