Two slots open for Q3
Services & packages
Three ways to work with us, published prices, and an honest account of the process. If you have read this far you should not have to ask what a project costs.
Package 01
For founders who need to look like a real company by next quarter.
€9,500 fixed price · 3 weeks
Best for pre-seed to Series A. Nine slots a year.
Package 02
The whole argument: what you stand for, said in every medium you use.
€24,000 from · 8–12 weeks
Roughly two thirds of our work. Quoted after a scoping call, never before.
Package 03
A named team inside your team, for the year you are shipping constantly.
€7,500 per month · min. 3 months
For in-house teams of 1–6. We take four partners at a time.
All prices exclude VAT and third-party costs such as photography, licensing and print. Fifty per cent on commission, fifty on handover. We have never sent a scope-change invoice without agreeing it first.
Process
The same shape whether the project runs three weeks or eleven months. The dates move; the order does not.
01
Two paragraphs from you, a 45-minute call from us. We tell you honestly whether this is a project we would do well.
02
Interviews, audit, and a written point of view. You get one document that says what the problem actually is.
03
One route, developed properly, in the media it will actually live in. We show working, not mood boards.
04
The direction becomes rules: grid, type, colour, motion, tone, and every awkward edge case we can find.
05
Files, manual and a working session with whoever inherits it. Then three months of us on call.
Capabilities
We do not do media buying, SEO retainers or investor decks that we did not help write. Everything else on this list is done in-house.
Honest bit
Saying this out loud saves everyone a fortnight. If two of these describe your situation, we will tell you on the first call.
Unless a Sprint slot happens to be open, we cannot compress a brand system into a month without producing something you will replace within two years. We will happily recommend two studios who work faster than us and do it well.
Design does not survive eleven opinions with equal weight. If there is no single person who can say yes, the work will regress to the least objectionable option — and you will have paid us to make something safe.
If the brief is “execute this”, hire a very good freelancer — it will be quicker and cheaper, and the result will be better. We are worth the money when the question is still open.
Questions
The prices above are honest starting points, not bait. A full brand system for a twelve-person company usually lands between €24,000 and €45,000; for a scaled business with sub-brands and a product surface it can pass €80,000. We quote a fixed price after a scoping call, and we do not change it unless you change the brief.
No. Presenting three routes means two of them are decoration, and it turns a judgement into a vote. We agree the strategy in writing first, then develop one route properly and show you the thinking behind it. If it is wrong, we say so before you do, and we go again — that is included.
Most of our best work is done that way. We are used to being the outside eye on a team that already has designers — setting the system, then handing it to people who will live with it far longer than we will. The Studio Partner package exists for exactly this.
One decision-maker who can say yes, roughly four hours a week for the first fortnight, and access to your customers. Projects fail on the third one far more often than the first two.
Yes, for marketing sites and design systems — we write the front-end ourselves. For application work we design in the browser and hand over documented components to your engineers, then stay close through the first two releases.
Usually eight to fourteen weeks. Sprints occasionally open sooner when a larger project shifts. If timing is tight, say so in your brief and we will tell you straight away rather than string you along.
Start here
The brief form takes about four minutes. You will get a real reply from one of the two founders within two working days — including a straight no if that is the right answer.
