When you need it
Suited to founders who need an outside, informed opinion before a decision, not another agency pitching its own services. Strategic counsel sits on the client’s side of the table: reviewing what already exists, flagging what will not work, and helping prioritize the handful of moves that actually matter this quarter.
The value shows up as the decisions that were never made in a hurry: a redesign postponed because it wasn’t the real problem, a hire delayed until the role was actually clear, a mistake avoided rather than fixed afterward. Over several sessions the value becomes less about any single answer and more about a founder who simply decides faster, because the same trusted second opinion is always one call away.
The fastest way to know if this is the right fit is still a direct conversation: tell us where things stand today, nothing prepared in advance, and we will tell you honestly if and how we can help.
Frequently asked questions about strategic counsel
How much does a strategic counsel project cost in Milano?
Studio projects start from 3,000 euro. The final figure depends on how wide the work is: how many brand applications are needed, whether we start from zero or from an existing identity to revise, whether naming is involved, and how broad the final guidelines are. We do not work from a rate card, because no two projects are alike: after a first conversation you receive one precise, firm figure rather than a range.
Why don’t you publish a full price list?
Because a price list would tell a lie. The same service can take three weeks or three months depending on where you stand today. We prefer to tell you the floor we work above, so you know straight away whether we are the right fit, and discuss the rest looking at your actual project.
How long before results show?
Design work usually takes four to ten weeks depending on scope. Visibility results arrive later: on organic search the first movements appear after two or three months, the real picture after six. We say this before starting, not after.
Do you work with companies outside Milano?
Yes. The studio is based in Milano and works with clients across Italy, as well as Dubai and Beirut, in Italian and English. Much of the work happens remotely, with in person meetings when they genuinely help. You can also call us on +39 351 402 3437 just to see whether it is worth talking.
