The first, most critical stage of building a startup that's market-ready is Brand Development. Our brand & marketing development methodology puts strong emphasis on laying solid groundwork in the form of a clear brand strategy and Vision for the brand, lots of planning, and powerfully-tuned messaging, first and foremost.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Below is an overview of the key focus areas our agency works alongside our Visionary clients -- entrepreneurs, startup founders, and CEOs like you -- to create, when it comes to the Brand Development stage of building any new startup business.

When it comes time to launch a new startup or brand into the market, it's time to turn our attention towards Marketing strategy, and just as importantly, Execution.

While the marketing universe is constantly expanding, here's a summary of the terrain and channels we manage for our clients when we flip into marketing mode (like Voltron), once the startup is built and ready for takeoff.

Advertising, simply put, is the amplification of your Marketing Message.

Once powerful marketing messaging, a go-to-market plan, and a strong connection to WHY is in place, Advertising becomes the powerful bullhorn used to spread your new brand's message to the world. The amount of eyeballs, hearts, and minds you can reach is determined by the size of your Advertising and Media Budget, which informs the velocity of growth that is possible.

Without these critical components in place and working in concert together, your new startup business runs the risk of a customer acquisition cost that is extremely high, or even unsustainable, when it comes time to scale and monetize efficiently and effectively.

Once your new startup business has successfully taken flight, we work tirelessly towards growing customer traction in the areas where it matters most.

In the end, investors don't just want to hear how great your Big Idea will be, given more funding, they want to see that it's already working, and ideally, how well it's monetizing.

When it comes time to raise external capital outside of your own -- if this is part of your endgame (it isn't for everyone) -- we work alongside our clients to help them get prepared, creating all the necessary assets to go into the world and start connecting with potential startup investors.
