The Blueprint

Brand Strategy and Messaging

Great branding and marketing start with a great story. The Blueprint is a facilitated discovery process that uncovers what makes your business distinct, who your audiences are, and how to reach them with messaging that resonates.

Right for you if you’ve never developed your brand story, your messaging feels inconsistent across channels, or your business has evolved and your positioning hasn’t kept up.

What’s included: A pre-discovery review of your existing materials, a collaborative discovery session with your full Kudzu team, a comprehensive Brand Story document covering your USP, key audiences, and channel-ready messaging, and two rounds of revisions.

Investment starting at:
$3,000

Timeline:
30 to 45 days

The Roadmap

Marketing Plan Development

Effective marketing requires a clear direction. The Roadmap uses the same discovery process to produce a 12- to 18-month branding and marketing strategy with specific campaigns, tactics, and media budget recommendations.

Right for you if you know what you do well but don’t have a structured plan to build awareness and generate leads consistently.

What’s included: A discovery session, strategic marketing planning covering campaigns and lead-generation tactics, and a follow-up review meeting to adjust based on budget and priorities.

$3,000

Timeline:
30 to 45 days

The Master Plan

Branding and Marketing Story and Strategy Plans

(Our Recommended and Most Popular Starting Point)

The Blueprint and The Roadmap are built together in a single unified process. When your brand story and marketing strategy come from the same discovery session, your website, your campaigns, your social content, and your sales conversations are more coherent.

Right for you if you’re starting from scratch, doing a full rebrand, or you want a strategy and execution plan in one place rather than two separate projects.

What’s included: Everything in The Blueprint and The Roadmap, delivered as a single comprehensive, integrated engagement.

Investment starting at:

Timeline:

Brand Identity Design

Your logo is a strategic asset. The Custom Identity service pairs our discovery process with professional brand design to give you a visual identity that reflects who you actually are and sets you apart from competitors.

Digital Presence

Website Design and Development

We design custom Big Commerce, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress websites for businesses that need a compelling online presence built to convert. Every project starts with Website Discovery, so we understand your goals, your users, and what success actually looks like before a single page is designed.

Right for you if your current website doesn’t reflect your brand, isn’t generating leads or conversions, or you simply don’t have a site worth sending people to.

What’s included: A Discovery session, site wireframe, visual mockups, keyword-rich copywriting aligned with SEO best practices, programming, browser and mobile compatibility testing, ADA-compliant and mobile-responsive design, post-launch SEO setup including sitemap submission and analytics configuration, and one hour of staff training.
