When you need it
Worth doing before a redesign, not after: a new logo on top of unclear positioning just produces a prettier version of the same confusion. Real brand work decides who the company is for and why, first — the palette and the name are simply the first two decisions that follow once that answer actually exists.
Once the positioning is set, every later decision gets faster: which projects to take, how to price them, what a new hire needs to understand in their first week. Clarity at the top saves arguments everywhere below it. It also holds up under pressure: when a hard call has to be made quickly, a clear position gives the team something firm to decide against, rather than starting the argument from zero.
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 branding strategy
How much does a branding strategy 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.
