Your product already has a form. Give it a language worthy of it. THE PREMISE You do not need to arrive with the right words. Finding them is the work. WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER Choose the depth. We find the language. 01 The Phrase From $2,500 USD A signature slogan, line, or verbal nucleus. A good fit when For a founder or team with a clear direction who needs one defining expression for a brand, product, or campaign. Starting scope Three candidate expressions, one final signature line, a usage note, and two refinement rounds on the selected direction. 02 The Voice From $6,500 USD Tone, vocabulary, messaging language, and signature expressions. A good fit when For a brand that needs a consistent way to speak across its website, packaging, campaigns, and customer touchpoints. Starting scope Three messaging pillars, voice and tone guidance, five short example applications, a final guide, and two consolidated revision rounds. 03 The Collection From $12,500 USD Naming and language for a product family, launch, capsule, or luxury line. A good fit when For a team introducing related products or experiences that need distinct names and a shared verbal world. Starting scope One selected naming system for up to three related products, a collection line, short product descriptions, and two refinement rounds. 04 The House From $25,000 USD Complete verbal identity: positioning, naming architecture, campaign language, packaging copy, and creative direction. A good fit when For a new brand or a substantial repositioning that needs its core meaning and language developed as one coherent system. Starting scope Positioning, one masterbrand name, architecture for up to three related names, a signature line, voice guidance, a brand story, and three agreed copy applications. Two revision rounds at each approval stage. Not sure which depth fits? Choose the closest option in your brief and describe what you need. We can refine the scope during review. Use the Commission Scope Finder ↗ SCOPE & INVESTMENT A considered scope. A clear proposal. Starting fees shown above apply to the baseline scope for one brand, one primary audience, and English-language deliverables. Each commission receives an individual proposal. The final investment depends on the depth of the work, the number of names or expressions required, where the language will appear, the schedule, and any usage or exclusivity requirements. The investment ranges in the brief describe your available budget; they are not package prices. Choose “Not sure yet” if you would like to discuss the scope first. Your written proposal will set out the agreed deliverables, revision stages, schedule, fee, payment milestones, and usage or exclusivity terms before you decide to proceed. Additional deliverables, new creative directions, specialist clearance, and expanded usage are scoped separately. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT From first words. To a shared direction. A commission begins with understanding. Here is how your brief can become a working relationship. 01 Brief review Submit the brief below. You will receive an acknowledgment with your inquiry reference. I review your goals, the work required, and availability, and aim to respond within two business days (Monday–Friday, excluding U.S. holidays). 02 Discovery conversation If there is a potential fit, we arrange a conversation to explore your audience, ambition, applications, timeline, and the language your project needs. 03 Your proposal Where there is a shared direction, you receive a written proposal outlining the scope, deliverables, schedule, investment, and applicable usage or exclusivity terms for review. 04 Project start Once we have agreed on the proposal and completed the required agreement and any initial payment, we confirm the start date and begin the creative work. Submitting a brief is an inquiry, not a booking or commitment. No payment is collected through this form; project acceptance and timing are confirmed separately.
