Services / Brand Audit

A brand audit by someone who’s never heard of you.

We read your website and marketing surface cold, then tell you where the story breaks and what to fix.

    Your message structure.

    Whether the important thing arrives first or drowns in insider language.

    Your competitors.

    The frame for 2-3 rivals, and where you’re making their job easy.

    Your technical basics.

Questions before you book

How long does a Brand Audit take?

5 business days from kickoff.

Is this a pitch for CORE Messaging?

The Audit is a paid, standalone piece of work. You keep the report, the walkthrough and the priorities whatever you do next.

What if we’ve already done brand work?

Bring it. You see what’s solid, what’s missing and what you can use without starting from zero.

Can you audit a site that’s still in development?

Yes. Wireframes, draft copy and staging sites are the best time to catch an expensive mistake.

What does it cost?

Every engagement has a fixed scope and a finish line. The prices are on the pricing page.

Better than you sound? Let’s fix it.

30 minutes. A straight answer on where to start.
