Welcome! Let’s Get Loud.

Everything you need to know to be prepared for our Branding Bootcamp work days.

We’re excited for your Branding Bootcamp! In preparation, please read the following so you know what to expect, and then fill out the form ‘Pre-Bootcamp Info Needed’ on this page (you can also email that info if you prefer).
The Bootcamp is an intensive process designed to build an entire brand for your business in a short amount of time- your time that is! In order to make the process go smoothly we do as much of the backend research and creative work as we can beforehand. This means by the time you arrive we have thought a lot about your company and, based on the strategy in the Get Loud Game Plan brief you approved, have developed a plan to build a badass brand that will set you up for the world domination you’ve been dreaming of!
The Branding Bootcamp is an iterative process that builds on itself. We have a schedule that we follow to ensure that we deliver all items as promised. This requires us to move along in the process in a somewhat timely manner.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t room for feedback! Quite the contrary, we welcome your reactions, thoughts and questions as they come up. It’s important that we discuss all feedback before moving forward because all future decisions build on previous decisions.
*Day 1 starts on Zoom at 10am CT sharp (unless otherwise discussed) and it is imperative that you arrive on time so that we stay on schedule.
2PM Break for Lunch
5:30PM Day 1 Wrap Up
*Day 2 starts on Zoom at 10am CT sharp (unless otherwise discussed) and it is imperative that you arrive on time so that we stay on schedule.
