A fixed-fee written diagnosis of a brand, delivered in two weeks. No design files, no pitch, no obligation to do anything with it. Most of the value is that you stop guessing.
The fee credits toward a sprint booked within ninety days. If the audit points at a rebrand and you want us to do it, the audit fee comes off the sprint price in full.
A short kickoff and a document request. Site, decks, ads, collateral, social, email, guidelines if they exist, and whatever analytics you are comfortable sharing.
Every public-facing asset read against the story you say you are telling. This is where the gaps usually show up, because the deck and the ads are rarely arguing the same thing.
Four to six companies you actually lose deals to, mapped on positioning, visual territory, and message. The goal is to find the space nobody is standing in.
Up to four conversations with the people who carry the brand: founder, sales, marketing, and one customer if you can get us one.
The written document, then a sixty-minute session to walk it with your team and argue with it.
No marks, layouts, or design files are produced. This is diagnosis, not treatment. If the honest answer is that your brand is fine and the problem is your pricing page or your sales process, that is what the document will say.
Tell us the shape of the problem and we will tell you honestly whether the Brand Audit is the right answer to it. We reply within two business days.
Prefer email? hello@ambolt.co. If we are not the right studio for this, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
Same method each time, different reach. Every hour is scoped up front and reported against on delivery.
How the hours work. Fixed-price engagements are scoped at a blended $100 an hour; fractional creative direction is scoped at $145 an hour, because it is senior time rather than production. The hours above are what the price is built from. We track against them and tell you where we are, and if a scope change pushes past the block we say so before the work happens rather than after.
Companies leave here looking like one company again. The same voice on the site, the deck, the ad, and the booth. Every quarter you wait is another quarter of good work going out under a brand that undersells it.
