Positioning and priorities

We study your audience, category, range and channels. Together we settle who the brand is for, what it says first and where to focus.

Identity

Principles, typography and art direction, so everything carrying your name reads as one brand.

Packaging direction

Packaging concepts planned around the product and briefed to the specialist makers who realise them.

Launch planning

Channels, launch assets and review points agreed in advance, so launch day is composed rather than rushed.

Retail and trade materials

Buyer presentations, product information and retail materials, when your route to market calls for them.

Product, if you need it

When the brand needs product, we develop private label shoes and clothing under your name, with our partner makers.

How it works

Begin with what you already have.

Send what you have

Your range, audience, any market research, channel plans, product specs and approved product claims. Partial is fine.

We agree the plan

Deliverables, fee and schedule are set out in a written proposal before you commit.

We direct it with you

We brief and oversee the specialists, with review points throughout, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

We check it worked

We review launch readiness, qualified traffic, purchases and repeat demand against the baseline we agreed.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What does brand development cost?

It depends on the scope, so there is no standard price. The deliverables, fee and schedule are set out in a written proposal, and production, talent usage, media and platform costs are itemised where they apply. You see it all before you commit.

Do I need a finished product to start?

No. Some brands arrive with a full range and some with an idea. Share what you have and we will define what the brand work needs to cover. If you need product, we develop it with our partner makers.

Can we do just the identity, or just the packaging?

Yes. Take the part you need. Name the piece in your note and we will scope it on its own.

What do you need from me to begin?

Your range, your audience, and whatever you have on research, channels, specs and approved claims. A few lines is enough to start the conversation.

How does this connect to the rest of SOCELLE?

Brand sets the course for everything that follows: the product, the store, the campaign and search. Marcel Afters, our own label, was built that way. Add those pieces whenever you are ready.
