Rebrand in two weeks.

Anything that was built to be temporary. Most seed-stage assets are. The placeholder homepage, the deck template, the founder-built component library, the colour palette pulled from a Dribbble shot. What gets kept is harder. We assess each piece on the kickoff call. If the mark still works and only the system around it needs rebuilding, we keep it. If the tone of voice has equity but the visuals are tired, we keep the voice. No agency-incentive to bin work that still earns its place.

Refresh if the strategy still holds and only the visuals are tired. Rebrand if the company has materially changed since the seed brand was set. Most Series A founders need the rebrand because the audience, product, and stakes have all shifted, not just the colours. We tell you which one you actually need at the kickoff call, not after we have already sold you the bigger package.

Sometimes. We assess what you have on the kickoff call. If the mark still works and only the system around it needs rebuilding, we will tell you. If a fresh mark serves the new chapter better, we will tell you that too. No agency-incentive to bin a logo that works, and no founder-incentive to keep one that doesn't.

The Brand Sprint structure forces alignment up front rather than at the reveal. Week one is positioning, narrative, and strategic intent, agreed with the founder and signed off before any visual exploration begins. Week two is identity built off that signed-off brief. By the time the board sees the work, the strategic argument is already won. We have run this with CEOs presenting to lead investors mid-sprint and not lost a single revision round to a late board comment.

The brand has to ship into all three workstreams from day one or it sits in a guidelines PDF unused. Hiring gets a careers page, LinkedIn templates, and founder content scaffolding. Sales gets deck template, one-pagers, and case study format. PR gets the announcement narrative, founder talking points, and press kit. We deliver these in the engagement, not as add-ons. Most agencies stop at the guidelines document. We do not.

Yes, and it is one of the highest-impact moments to ship a rebrand. The funding announcement already buys you a day of attention from press, investors, customers, and candidates. Launching the new brand the same day means every link people click lands on the new positioning, the new site, the new narrative. We coordinate timing with your PR firm or comms lead, build the embargoed assets, and stand by on launch day to handle anything that breaks.

Usually yes. The seed-stage site rarely matches a Series A brand and is often the single largest brand surface enterprise buyers, candidates, and tier-one investors actually look at. We run the Web Package back-to-back with the Brand Sprint so the new identity ships live, not as a guidelines document waiting for someone to use it. Five weeks total from kickoff to launch.

The announcement kit ships with every engagement. Founder talking points, customer email template, social posts, partner notification copy. The narrative that makes the rebrand feel like progress rather than confusion. Customers do not need to understand the strategic argument behind the rebrand. They need to know the company is moving forward and they are coming with it.

Charlie Simpson and David Henshaw, the founders. Every engagement is founder-led. There is no junior account manager between you and the work, no creative director who pitches the work and then hands it to a team you have not met. Combined 25 years inside the funded technology scene. You meet the people doing the work on day one and you keep meeting them through to launch.

Usually within one to two weeks of signing. We run two engagements concurrently maximum, which keeps quality high and timelines tight. If you need to ship before the funding announcement, a board meeting, or a conference, tell us the deadline at first call and we will tell you straight whether the calendar works. We do not take engagements we cannot ship on time.

Most clients move into a Growth retainer. Ongoing landing pages, blog content, ad creative, conference assets, product UI extensions, and brand stewardship as the company scales into Series B territory. From $7,000 a month. Hemi is on a $75,000 per month retainer with us. The retainer keeps the studio embedded so you do not have to brief a new team every time you ship a campaign, a fundraise update, or a product launch.

We only work with funded technology companies. You will not waste week one explaining what a Series A deck needs to do, why your hire pipeline matters now, or why your enterprise buyers will scrutinise the website differently from the consumer ones. Sector-fluent, founder-led, fixed scope, fixed price, two-week sprints rather than three-month retainers from day one. Our portfolio is the only one in the room.
