Questions? Here are a few...

What is the Transformative Identity Programme?

The Transformative Identity Programme is a three-part brand development process designed to give startups and growing businesses a clear, competitive edge.

Whether you’re launching something new or rebranding an existing venture, the programme equips you with distinctive brand assets and a brand story you can stand behind.

Get the full breakdown of the Transformative Identity Programme here...

What does the programme consist of?

The Transformative Identity Programme (TIP) includes workshops, research, creative development and presentations. Depending on the scope of your project, you’ll receive a combination of the following deliverables:

Brand Strategy Workshop
Brand Messaging
Brand Naming
Brand Identity Design
Brand Activation Playbook

How long does it take?

Typically between eight and twelve weeks depending on the size of the organisation I'm working with and how many services are required.

I will provide an approximate timeline of the programme so you know what to expect over the time we are working together.

Do you work with clients outside of the UK?

Yes. I’ve worked with clients outside of the UK, and the entire programme can be delivered remotely.

I use video calls (e.g. Google Meet) for all workshops and presentations, and I’ll keep you in the loop throughout, just as I do with UK-based clients.

I've never worked with a brand agency before...

That’s completely fine. My process is collaborative and designed to put you at ease. We’ll talk about what your business means to you, what it should mean to others, and how we can shape your identity accordingly.

You’ll find the workshops interesting, thought-provoking, and highly practical.

Who will I be dealing with if I work with The Identity Bureau?

You’ll work directly with me, Ben. I’m a qualified brand designer and brand strategist, and I personally run every workshop, guide the naming process, and lead the design direction.

I only take on one or two clients at a time to give you my full attention throughout the process. None of the Transformative Identity Programme is outsourced.

I have a brand name already, can we still work together?

Absolutely. If you’re happy with your name, we can focus on developing your brand strategy, and/or visual identity, and Brand Activation Playbook. The programme is flexible depending on your needs.

Do you run trademark checks on the brand names?

Yes. I partner with Brand Protect, intellectual property lawyers who conduct preliminary legal checks on the shortlisted names we develop.

They’ll flag potential risks so you can choose your final name with confidence. This service is included in your naming fee.

How much does it cost?

Each part of the TIP can be booked separately:

Brand Foundations Launchpad – From £1,800

Brand Naming – From £1,900

Brand Identity Design – From £3,500

The full programme is £6,750, with longer term payment plans available for fees totalling £5,000 or more.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, I offer three flexible options to suit different budgets and cash flow:

Option A: 50/50 Split – 50% deposit upfront, 50% on final delivery.

Option B: 3 x Milestone Payments – One-third upfront, one-third on completion and one third four weeks after completion.

If you like what you see, and the fit seems right in terms of budgets and timeframes, we can then discuss developing a project proposal.

We'll flesh out the things you need and want for your new brand, based on what we've talked about.

From here, I'll send you a project proposal and quote which you can sign and return to me if you want to move forward...

3. Collaborative Creation

We will work together to realise your brand aspirations. We'll create your brand plan, and bring your brand identity to life, ready for you to show it to the world.

This strategic and creative stage allows for plenty of communication and feedback. I'll keep you informed as the work is created, presenting and refining based on your feedback along the way.
