You can—we don’t recommend it.

Tools like Canva, drag-and-drop sites, and AI logo generators are great, but they don’t make you a strategist, designer, copywriter, and developer all in one. DIY usually means it takes longer, looks inconsistent, and never quite feels “real business ready.”

BrandLab8 is built to get this off your plate so you can focus on running the business while we build the brand that backs it up.

BrandLab8 is a good fit if:

• You’re launching or relaunching a business in 2026

• You have bits and pieces (logo, basic site, random Canva graphics) but nothing cohesive

• You’re ready for a full brand refresh instead of more patchwork

• You can commit to one call per week + a few hours for feedback

• You’re ready to invest and actually use what we build—not just “think about it”

In short: you’re serious about looking and operating like a real brand, not a side project.

BrandLab8 is for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are ready to launch or relaunch in 2026 with a professional, cohesive brand (not another DIY placeholder).

BrandLab8 is a great fit for:

• Professional services: consultants, coaches, real estate agents, financial planners, insurance professionals

• Creative & lifestyle brands: artists, photographers, personal brands, influencers, fashion or wellness brands

• Startups & new ventures: founders launching a first business or testing a new concept

• Food & hospitality: restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, bakeries, vacation rentals, boutique hotels

• Local & service-based: salons, gyms, contractors, home services, cleaning companies, landscapers

• Nonprofits & community: local charities, churches, associations, community initiatives

• E-commerce & retail: small product brands, online boutiques, specialty shops

• Healthcare & wellness: therapists, nutritionists, fitness trainers, wellness coaches, med spas

Exact deliverables vary by package, but typically BrandLab8 includes:

• A clarified brand foundation (positioning, messaging, voice)

• A refreshed or brand-new visual identity (logo usage, colors, typography)

• Design templates for social, email, and basic marketing collateral

• A brand kit + template library for ongoing, on-brand creation

• A simple marketing roadmap and Marketing Command Center so you know what to do next and where everything lives

• A 30-day content calendar for after launch

You walk away with a complete, usable brand system—not just a pretty logo.

After you sign up, you’ll get a brand questionnaire and a prep checklist within 24 hours.

Set aside about an hour to complete the questionnaire— the more detail you give us, the better your build. The checklist covers any accounts, subscriptions, or assets we’ll need to get you launched quickly.

You’ll have one 30–60 minute call per week with your strategist for 5 weeks.

Plan to be fully present—no driving on calls.

Between calls you’ll review materials and send feedback, usually no more than 2 hours per week total.

We stick to a consistent schedule:

Tuesday start: calls on Tuesdays, feedback due Fridays

Thursday start: calls on Thursdays, feedback due Mondays

Your only job is to show up, respond on time, and make decisions. We handle the heavy lifting.

We run up to four BrandLab8 kickoffs per week and they do book up.

You’ll choose your start week on our calendar. If you don’t see the timing you want, reach out—occasionally we can shuffle things or open an extra slot. We keep the number of active projects low so we can deliver a tight, focused 30-day build.

The 30% offer brings your investment to $3,495 (standard price $4,995).

Payment is due up front to reserve your spot and allow us to move quickly through the build. At checkout, you can also apply for a third-party payment plan—their terms, costs, and approval are handled directly with them.

Yes—AI is one of the tools we use behind the scenes, but it doesn’t replace the humans on your project.

We use tried-and-tested custom GPTs to move faster, explore options, and keep BrandLab8 more affordable. Your strategy, visuals, copy, and final deliverables are always human-led, refined, and approved so they feel like you and work in the real world. AI supports the process; it does not autopilot your brand.

Yes. That’s the point.

We build your brand inside tools you can actually use—platforms like Canva and user-friendly website builders (or WordPress when it’s the right fit). Everything lives in accounts you own, not ours.

You’ll need your own subscriptions (usually very manageable monthly costs), but you’ll have:

• Your brand assets and templates

• A site you can update

• Clear guidelines so you or a small team can keep things consistent

You won’t be dependent on us for every tiny change.
