An afternoon at your studio to pull the brand and the business out of your team's heads and onto the wall. We bring the boards, the markers, and the questions. You bring the studio. You leave with real output the same day.
This is the one real block of time we ask for. We designed it so it gives back more than it takes.
We learn what we need to grow your brand. You get a clearer picture of your own business, drawn out and put on the wall.
No decks, no reading, no pre-work. Bring yourselves and the stories already in your heads. We handle the structure.
By 5 PM you will hold your studio captured on a single page, a first cut at your positioning line, and a short list of the moves that matter most.
Mostly talking, with a few things going up on the wall. A couple of quick exercises, all relaxed. If you would rather talk than write, we capture it for you.
Quick hellos and a round the room: the CKD project each of you is proudest of, and why. It sets the tone and surfaces what makes the studio yours.
We map the business on a single page together: who you serve, what you make, how work comes in, and who does what.CKD on a Page
Where CKD sits among the Bay Area firms, the ground you can own, and what clients say when they choose you.Map on the wall
The private lane, the pipeline, and where a strategy team would look beyond marketing. We sort the moves by what pays off soonest.Prioritize together
Our turn to present. We show what a great anniversary and brand moment can look like, with real examples to spark ideas. A chance to sit back and picture where the studio goes next.We bring the inspiration
The rhythm from here, who owns what on your side, and how we keep it light. Short and clear.
We reflect back what we heard and hand you the same-day output while it is fresh.
Next steps, a thank you, and done by five.
Not a promise for later. Three things you can use before we even follow up.
The whole business captured on one sheet: who you serve, what you make, how you win, and where the money comes from.
A working draft of the one sentence that says who CKD is, tested live in the room with your team.
A short, prioritized list of the highest-return moves for the brand and the business, ranked by impact and effort.
Here is the entire ask on your side, and everything we take care of.
Chris, Andy, and Michael. We facilitate, capture, and keep the afternoon moving. You never have to run it or write it down.
Amy, Keith, and whoever you want in the room. Designers, project leads, newer hires. Every perspective adds to the picture we build together.
Four hours, a wall full of your own thinking, and something real in hand by five. See you Thursday, September 3.
