Creative & branding · Brand collateral
We design brand collateral for businesses that have a logo and guidelines but not the everyday pieces. The complete brand kit covers templates, social, email signatures, a brochure, signage and merchandise artwork. Everything comes from your guidelines and is built so your team can use it without a designer.

Free brand collateral brief review
Three fields and you’re done. We look at what you have, say what we’d make and how, and check it against the problems we see most often:
Your plan comes by email as a PDF. If you want to discuss going ahead after reading it, we’ll set up a video meeting. We use your details only for this review.
Fit
Not the right fit if you don’t have a logo or guidelines yet; start with brand identity design, which can include a starter kit. We design; you print with your own printer.
Problems we fix
Sales, HR and marketing each improvise decks and documents.
Designer files in tools the team doesn’t have.
Outdated files in email signatures, proposals and shared drives.
The business name written differently on the sign, the invoice and the website.
A brochure, a banner and a T-shirt that don’t look related.
Nobody knows where the latest files are.

Our approach
Part one is the inventory. Brand collateral is every piece your business uses to present itself, so we start by listing what you use today and what you’ll need in the next year: stationery and documents, presentations and proposals, social media, email, sales material, signage, uniforms and merchandise, packaging inserts, event material. Each item gets a priority, an owner on your team and the tool they use to edit it.
Part two is the everyday templates, built in your tools. Most brand collateral is edited by your team, not a designer, so presentation, proposal, letter, quote and invoice templates are built in the tools you use (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Word, Google Docs, Canva or your accounting software), with styles, layouts and the logo locked in place. A team member can make an on-brand proposal in minutes.
Part three is the brand kit for digital channels: social media templates for posts, stories and covers, profile images and banners for each platform, email signature designs, and a newsletter template. Each is sized for its platform and checked at actual size. Text colour pairs follow W3C’s contrast guidance from your guidelines, so the kit stays readable.
Part four is print and physical pieces: business cards and stationery, a company brochure or capability statement, roll-up and window graphics, signage and merchandise artwork such as T-shirts, mugs and bags, set up to each printer’s or supplier’s template. We design; you print. We deliver print-ready files made to your printer’s specification (size, bleed, colour profile and file format), and you place the print order with the printer you choose, so you see the printer’s price and proof directly. Each piece uses the same layout rules, so a banner at a trade show and a brochure on the table look like one brand.
Part five is consistency and the library. The business name, logo and contact details are written the same way everywhere, which also matters for search: Google’s Business Profile guidelines ask that your profile name reflect your real-world name as used on your storefront, website and stationery. Everything goes into one shared library, organised by use, with a short guide and old versions removed, so the latest file is the only file.
We deliver brand collateral in priority order, so the pieces your team uses most arrive first, and each one is checked by a person for spelling, colours, contrast and sizes before delivery. When the brand changes, the library makes it clear which files need updating.
Where AI helps: resizing templates for each platform, making mockups for approval and drafting copy variants for templates that a person edits. Where it doesn’t: your logo, your name or the template logic. Client work is shown anonymously: see real client results on our results page.
Brand collateral changes as the business grows, so the kit is built to be extended. Each new template follows a short rules page in the library: which layout to start from, which styles to use and where the logo goes. When you open a new location, hire a new team or attend a new trade show, the brand kit already has the starting point. We also mark which pieces are worth a designer’s time (a flagship brochure, a trade-show stand) and which your team can make from templates (social posts, proposals, menus), so brand collateral stays consistent without slowing anyone down.

How we use AI here
AI helps resize templates for each social platform and format.
AI shows the kit on cards, banners, shirts and screens for approval.
AI drafts placeholder copy for templates that a person edits.
Where we don’t use it: your logo, your business name or how templates are built. A person sets and checks every one.
What’s included
Every piece, its priority, owner and editing tool.
Decks, proposals, letters, quotes and invoices in your tools.
Social templates, profile images, email signatures, newsletter.
Stationery, brochure, roll-ups, window graphics and signage.
Shirts, mugs, bags and more, to each supplier’s template.
One organised library with a short guide.
Spelling, colours, contrast and sizes on every piece.

How we run it
Brand collateral runs inventory first, then templates, the kit and the library. Typical timing: the page or panel plan within 2 workdays, first designs within 1 week, and print-ready files within 2 to 3 weeks, revisions included.
