YOU'VE ENTERED A NEW MARKET, BUT AREN'T BEING RECOGNIZED AS A KEY PLAYER.

Your proposals linger unanswered, even when your pricing is FAIR.

Leads arrive, but GO ANYWHERE.

Competitors are POPPING UP EVERY DAY.

YOU'RE ATTRACTING NEW CLIENTS AND CUSTOMERS, BUT FEW OF THEM ARE IDEAL.

Launches aren’t hitting like they used tO.

However, you're not entirely sure a full rebrand is what you need...

things could be looking better

When I see these things happen for my clients, I know that the problem isn't the business itself, it’s a lack of clarity on how to position it and create a strong brand to surround the business. What's most important here isn't to start building from scratch, but to take a creatively strategic approach for what's next.

That's why I like to isolate the most impactful part of our Brand Identity signature process:

Many founders who find themselves at this point assume the solution is more leads, to create more content, hire a bigger and better team, or invest in a shiny new website.

But starting from scratch may not be the right move.

Creative strategy allows us to take a peek under the hood, see what's actually needed, and adjust from there.
In this process, you will go through Phase 1 of our Brand Identity process and find clarity and direction on where to take your brand next, and what to focus on for maximum impact.

creative strategy.

Clarity on your voice.

Clarity on your positioning.

Clarity on your distinct place in the market.

Clarity on your creative visuals.

1:1 Private Creative Strategy Call with Kadie Smith, Founder of Drop Cap Design®

Creative Strategy

This is the same refined process we use before every bigger brand identity project distilled into a single, powerful session.

Here’s what you’ll get:

It’s not just another logo design or moodboard. It’s the DNA of your business and the reputation of your brand. From here, the identity naturally emerges.

"I booked a Creative Strategy with Kadie, because I was completely at sea with a rebrand for my copywriting business.  With a few tweaks she came up with a brand vibe that's both authentic to me and something that I think will speak to potential clients. I'm amped to refresh my brand!"

"I had so many ideas, and I really felt like you listened and guided me into a cohesive brand story and concept. I was pretty hesitant to start my rebrand project, but now I’m actually excited to get into it. I cannot thank you enough!"

Incredible!!

She has an incredible ability to understand my brand vision and bring it to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Kadie took my scattered thoughts and transformed them into clear, cohesive themes. Not only did she help me choose the perfect logo and website template, but she also sparked the creative direction for an upcoming photoshoot. The brand mood board she thoughtfully curated has become my visual compass, and everything she touches is infused with such purpose and beauty.
