Starting a brand project: questions, answered
How do I start a project with Brand1?
Most clients start with the free Brand Health Scan: a 45-minute conversation and a one-week look at how consistently your brand shows up, with a short list of fixes. From there you can book a 5-day Brand Foundations Sprint or talk to a partner about an Identity Programme. A partner reads every enquiry and replies within 2 working days.
How much does a rebrand cost?
A rebrand's cost depends on scope: how many brands, markets and applications are involved, whether naming is needed, and how many decision-makers sign off. Brand1 does not publish prices. Every quote is scoped to your brief, comes in phases with a deposit and stays valid for 30 days. The price sheet with every offer is sent on request.
What is a brand sprint?
A brand sprint is a short, focused workshop where leadership agrees the foundations of a brand. Brand1's Brand Foundations Sprint takes 5 days and covers purpose, values, personality and positioning. You leave with a one-page brand platform, ready for your leadership to sign, which then guides identity design, campaigns and every brief that follows.
What is a creative studio subscription?
A creative studio subscription is reserved monthly studio time instead of one-off projects. Brand1's Studio Subscription covers films, social, imagery, decks and events, with a named creative lead and capacity agreed together at the start. It comes in three sizes, Core, Growth and Enterprise, with a 6-month minimum term. Details are on the price sheet.
Why does Brand1 price the outcome, not the hours?
Because AI saves the studio time, but it does not lower the value of a brand. Brand1 prices each offer by its scope and outcome, and prices films by the finished second and how they will be used: media, territory and term. Quotes come in phases with two rounds of revisions at each stage and stay valid for 30 days.
Can we buy through procurement?
Yes. Brand1 completes supplier onboarding forms and tenders, and can respond to a formal branding RFP through our RFP page. Ask for the vendor pack when you request the price sheet. Brand1 does not buy media; for paid placement, the studio works alongside independent media specialists.
