Branding · By application

Branding for the trades, reinvented.

Same world-class experts. Same caliber of brand. A fraction of the cost — and a fraction of the time — because we put AI to work and cut the theater. Branding is one of our most-requested services, so we run it by application.

The old way is broken

$20K–$60K.
6–12 months.
Mostly meetings.

Traditional branding agencies bill enormous retainers and stretch the work across a year of status calls, mood boards, and revision rounds — much of it designed to justify the invoice, not move your brand forward. You wait weeks between reveals, pay for the theater, and still end up with a PDF and a handoff. There's a better way — and it uses the same caliber of expert.

Our way

Expert-led. AI-accelerated. You in the driver's seat.

We keep the senior talent and throw out the inefficiency. You explore directions directly with AI, guided by an expert council, and arrive at a concept in real time — then our team makes it production-perfect.

Your AI Branding Council

The best in the trades — on your brand.

Our council brings the top branding experts in the trades to work directly with you on your brand, story, positioning, voice, and visual identity — the same senior talent a traditional agency would put on a $50,000 engagement, focused only on the decisions that actually move the needle.

They guide. AI accelerates. You stay in control. Instead of waiting two weeks for a revision, you explore directions in real time and come to the council with something real to react to — so every session pushes the brand forward instead of catching it up.

  • Brand strategy
    Positioning that sets you apart in a crowded local market.
  • Your story
    The origin and mission that make customers choose you.
  • Voice & messaging
    How your brand sounds everywhere it speaks.
  • Visual identity
    Logo, color, and type direction — guided, then perfected.
The process

From application to wrapped truck.

Seven steps, no wasted ones. Here's the whole journey from joining the waitlist to your new brand rolling down the road.

  1. 01

    Apply & onboard

    Branding runs by application — join the waitlist and we learn your business, market, and goals before anything starts.

  2. 02

    AI Brainstorming & Iteration Course

    We put you through a guided course on exploring brand directions with AI — so you can generate, react to, and refine ideas yourself, fast.

  3. 03

    Meet your AI Branding Council

    The top branding experts in the trades shape your strategy — brand, story, positioning, voice, and visual direction — focused only on the decisions that matter.

  4. 04

    Iterate with AI

    Explore logos, palettes, and directions independently and in real time. No two-week wait for a revision — you arrive with something real.

  5. 05

    Bring us your rendition

    Get as close to a concept as you can on your own, then hand us the direction you want to move forward with.

  6. 06

    We finalize everything

    Our team produces every asset in every file type you'll ever need — print and digital, vector and raster, nothing locked away.

  7. 07

    Print & wrap delivery

    Our national print partner and truck-wrap network turn the files into real cards, shirts, swag, and wraps — shipped to your door.

What you walk away with

Every asset. Every file type. Yours.

Not a locked PDF — the complete, production-ready brand. Print CMYK and digital RGB, vector and raster, transparent and full-color. You own all of it.

Logo suite

Primary, secondary, and submark — in SVG, EPS, PDF, and transparent PNG, for print and screen.

Business cards

Print-ready card designs your shop can hand out day one.

Truck & vehicle wraps

Wrap-ready artwork built to spec for our network of wrap shops.

Swag

Branded merch and giveaways that put your name in customers' hands.

Apparel & shirts

Crew shirts and uniforms that look like the brand, not an afterthought.

Brand guidelines

Colors, fonts, and usage so every future asset stays on-brand.

Print & wrap network

Your brand doesn't stop at the file.

We've built relationships with an exceptional print firm that ships nationwide and a network of trusted truck-wrap shops — so your new brand doesn't just live in a folder. It rolls down the road, walks into the supply house on a crew shirt, and lands in your customer's hand on a card. We hand off the right files to the right partners and make sure it's done right.
