of them is yours one company launched something that worked and everyone matched it your designer is still using those same sites someone tried something different it lost half a percent in the first week and went in the bin none of that was stupid it s what happens when everyone optimises against the same thing buyers can t tell you apart so they pick on price attention costs you more because four other companies are saying the same thing nobody s loyal because there s nothing to be loyal to you were the one they found not the one they picked be picked not just found be picked not just

way to tell the difference until it s too late owen understood that was the actual brief not make us look nice but make us look like the ones you can believe that s a much harder thing to do and he

request an assessment your competitors pulled apart six of them on screen side by side with the things they all do marked up as i go this is where you find out what your category has quietly agreed to look like your brand assessed the same way logo type colour tone what it signals to someone deciding between you and four others which is rarely what you think it signals your website page by page what a buyer understands in the first ten seconds where they lose the thread and what s costing you enquiries where the gap is the opportunities nobody in your category has taken and which one i d take first a written document and a recorded walkthrough delivered by email no call to sit through first yours to keep whatever you decide go ahead with the full engagement inside 60 days and the 950 comes off the price or six to eight weeks the full engagement 6 000 chat now what you say and who you say it to your positioning the words for your homepage your pitch your emails how you look logo type colour and the rules so your next designer doesn t undo it a website live designed written and built in framer or webflow up to six pages yours to edit after everything handed over all the files guidelines anyone can follow you see the work twice and can change it twice 40 to start 30 at the identity 30 before it goes live if the first round misses i fix it free there s an authority that says look at what s working and do that pick the layout everyone s converged on nobody gets fired for looking like the market leader test it and if it doesn t win in a fortnight put it back every one of those is reasonable follow all of them and you end up in a category where six companies are indistinguishable and buyers pick on price because price is the only thing left to compare the grey standards board calls that compliance it s the safest way to be forgotten badfish labs exists to fail the inspection more about this run by owen i built and ran a k pop retail brand won the south bank ignite spark award for it then watched it fail for reasons that had nothing to do with the branding so i won t sell you a logo as a survival plan and i ll tell you if the brand isn t your problem before you ve spent anything one point of contact nobody hands your project to a junior because there isn t one it also means a queue the grey standards board has issued 14 standards this year every one of them is about looking like everyone else a monthly argument against that what the shortcut costs why the hack stops working once everyone runs it and what the companies who ignored all of it did instead name email subscribe to newsletter submit most people arrive knowing something s wrong without being able to name it they leave with the diagnosis the scope and the price on one page request an assessment or just message no form no call everyone else makes you book a call first and i d rather you just text less pressure faster and you don t need it worked out beforehand send a half formed idea a voice note or my brand s a mess and you ll get a straight answer on what s falling flat and what it d take to fix chat now email or prefer to talk book a call privacy cookie policy
