- Brand/Rebrand campaign: $50,000-$250,000 with $100-$200/h on average in the USA
What are the average project timelines?
Project timelines vary between agencies, but branding is typically a multi-week effort.
Industry examples:
- Quick brand refresh: 8-12 weeks
- Full brand (re)launch: 12-24 weeks (3-6 months)
- Complex / enterprise rebrand: 6-12 months
- Discovery & onboarding: 1-2 weeks
- Strategy development: 2-3 weeks
- Visual identity design: 4-6 weeks
- Guidelines & collateral: 2-6 weeks
What deliverables should businesses expect from a branding company?
A comprehensive branding campaign will hand over all materials needed to apply the new brand:
- Research and strategy artifacts
- Messaging assets
- Visual identity package, including primary and secondary logos, color palette specs, iconography, and any motion-graphic rules
- Brand guidelines
- Templates and collateral, including editable templates for slide decks, social posts, email signatures, and ads (typically 10-20+ templates).
- Source files and assets
- Training and rollout plan
What’s the difference between a brand refresh and a full rebrand?
Brand refresh focuses on updating what you already have. It usually involves light visual changes like refining the logo or colors, without changing the core brand positioning.
A full rebrand rethinks the brand from the ground up, including positioning, messaging, and often the name and visual identity. This is typically needed after major business changes like a market shift or a merger.
