What are the average project timelines?

Project timelines vary between agencies, but branding is typically a multi-week effort. Industry examples:

Branding phaseTypical duration Notes
Quick brand refresh 8-12 weeksResearch and minor identity updates 
Full brand (re)launch 12-24 weeks (3-6 months)Research, strategy, identity, guidelines, and rollout
Complex / enterprise rebrand 6-12 monthsGlobal rollouts or new websites 
Discovery & onboarding 1-2 weeksStakeholder interviews, audits 
Strategy development 2-3 weeksPositioning, messaging
Visual identity design 4-6 weeksLogo, core brand assets

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: Audit reports, user/persona insights, positioning statements, brand architecture maps, and strategic briefs.
  • Messaging assets: A messaging hierarchy or framework, brand story/narrative, value propositions, and voice/tone guidelines.
  • Visual identity package: Primary and secondary logos (in color, mono, and icon forms), color palette specs, iconography, and any motion-graphic rules.
  • Brand guidelines: A usable style guide (PDF or interactive site) showing logo usage, color formulas, the do’s & don’ts, etc.
  • Templates and collateral: Editable templates for slide decks, social posts, email signatures, ads, and other common assets (typically 10-20+ templates).
  • Source files and assets: All final artwork files (AI/EPS, PSD, etc) neatly organized, plus any approved photography, icon libraries, etc.
  • Training and rollout plan: A launch calendar, internal training decks or videos, and a brand-compliance checklist to ensure teams use the new brand correctly. 

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 seasoned US branding agency uses a refresh to modernize and clarify a brand without changing its core identity.

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.

They help realign the brand to support long-term growth and differentiation. In fact, two of the top five marketing shifts in the past year were brand experience and brand-led content, ranking ahead of AI adoption.
