Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does the process take?

A typical engagement usually takes us 3 months. But of course, it depends on how busy you are and how much information we all need to digest.

Who should be involved in the workshops?

We recommend that your roster include customer-facing leaders. Typically: founder, C-suite, sales, marketing, customer service, product team. This line-up ensures buy-in from your key stakeholders and diversity of experiences.

What if I need my brand position sooner?

An expedited process is available and requires roughly 3 full days of intensive, in-person workshops to gather the information we need to build out your brand position. Travel expenses for 2-3 members of the SHFT team must be covered.

Do you offer any shorter packages?

Yes. The Brand Positioning Lite package includes only the Customer Module, Client Interviews, Uniqueness Module, and One-Page Strategy. This process takes roughly 2 months.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results vary by client, but you can expect a 20% increase or more in revenue after implementing the positioning strategy we create together. Other results include internal and external clarity, better team alignment, confidence to go-to-market, and an increase in inbound leads.

We’re a small team. Does this make sense for us?

Absolutely! Our clients have ranged from a 2-person, husband-and-wife team to large enterprise clients with 100+ employees. Developing a brand strategy follows the same rules no matter the size of your team.

Do you help implement this strategy?

Yes, we can. After completing the brand positioning, we’ll have a next-steps call with you to determine where you would like SHFT’s help in implementing your plan. Past clients have hired us to:

Design their logo and brand
Build their new website
Write copy for their website
Develop a content strategy
Provide ongoing brand consulting
Perform market and competitive research

I have a unique need. Will the brand positioning strategy help?

Maybe. Most clients with very unique needs, such as help determining their offer or needing messaging for multiple personas, find our ongoing brand consulting a more fitting format. We will meet with you to determine your exact needs and develop a system that gets you the clarity you need.
