TESTIMONIALS “Regardless of the scope, Josh shows up the same way: senior, fast, accountable.” Laura Knight, SVP Patient Solutions, Morrison Healthcare “A pro who listens. He brings creative solutions, not just deliverables.” Tom Hughes, Repeat Client FAQ 1. What is a brand audit? A brand audit is a written diagnostic of your existing brand system. I review every public-facing asset — website, deck, social, sales materials — flag the inconsistencies, and deliver a prioritized fix plan. It is not a redesign. It tells you what to fix before anyone touches a file. 2. How much does a brand audit cost? $4,500 flat, paid 100% on kickoff. One-time. No retainer attached. 3. What does a brand audit include? A full review of your live brand assets, documented inconsistencies with screenshots, a prioritized fix list, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. You receive a written PDF deliverable plus the live walkthrough. 4. How do I know if I need a brand audit? Three signals: your team is asking "is this on-brand?" before publishing; your assets look different across channels; or your brand has drifted across multiple freelancers, agencies, or in-house hires. If any of those are true, the audit pays for itself. 5. How long does a brand audit take? Seven days from kickoff to walkthrough. Day 1 is kickoff. Days 2–5 are the review. Day 6 is delivery. Day 7 is the walkthrough call.

JA DESIGN · REMAINING PAGES · IMPLEMENTATION-READY QC-ALIGNED gotjadesign.com 6 The Brand Sprint replaces that with one system — designed, documented, and trained into your team in under a month. Three ways to run a Sprint Tier 1 — Sprint · $8,500 · 2–4 weeks For teams that need a complete, governed brand system — and already have a website that works. Includes: full audit of existing assets · logo package with usage rules · color system · typography standards · brand guidelines document · marketing/social/presentation/email templates · team training session · brand consistency checklist · editable source files (Figma, Adobe). Tier 2 — Sprint + Web · $13,500 · 3–5 weeks · Most popular For teams launching, repositioning, or finally retiring the website that no longer represents them. Everything in Sprint, plus: website design (Webflow-ready) · homepage + up to 4 interior page templates · responsive design across breakpoints · CMS-friendly structure · one round of post-launch refinement. Tier 3 — Sprint + Web + Brand Photography · $17,500 · 4–6 weeks For teams who want to walk away with a finished brand — visuals, voice, web, and imagery — not a to-do list. Everything in Sprint + Web, plus: brand photography art direction and coordination · shot list aligned to brand strategy · on-set creative direction (remote or in-person) · photo selects, light retouching, and asset library setup.

What is a brand sprint? A Brand Sprint is a complete, governed brand identity system — built and trained into your team in two to four weeks. It replaces a patchwork of logos, decks, and half-followed style guides with one system your marketing team can run without asking "is this on-brand?" 2. How much does a brand sprint cost? Three tiers, starting at $8,500. Sprint is $8,500. Sprint + Web is $13,500. Sprint + Web + Brand Photography is $17,500. All tiers include the brand guidelines document, templates, training, and editable source files. Payment is 50% to start, 50% on delivery. 3. What's the difference between a brand sprint and a full rebrand? A brand refresh updates how your brand looks. The Brand Sprint builds the system that lets your team use it consistently. A full rebrand is usually six months and a six-figure budget; the Sprint is two to four weeks and a fixed fee. If you need new positioning, naming, and a global rollout, that's a rebrand. If you need a clean, governed system you can run, that's the Sprint. 4. Who is the Brand Sprint designed for? Marketing managers and directors at 25–250 employee B2B companies who own brand consistency but don't have a senior creative director on staff. If your team ships content weekly and you can't keep it on-brand without bottlenecking through one person, the Sprint is for you. 5. How long does the Brand Sprint take? Two to four weeks. Most engagements land at three. Tier 2 and Tier 3 add web design or brand photography to the same system, extending timeline to 3–5 or 4–6 weeks respectively.

A pitch deck (up to 20 slides), a two-page proposal template, one one-pager, one case study template, two email templates, and editable source files. Sales Kit Pro extends every one of those plus a sales playbook overview and a handoff session with your sales team. 4. How is the Sales Kit different from a deck designer? JA DESIGN · REMAINING PAGES · IMPLEMENTATION-READY QC-ALIGNED gotjadesign.com 12 A deck designer styles slides. The Sales Kit builds the underlying sales narrative first, then designs the system around it — deck, proposal, one-pager, case study, emails — so every touchpoint tells the same story. You're not getting prettier slides. You're getting a sales system. 5. How long does the Sales Kit take? Sales Kit is 2–3 weeks. Sales Kit Pro is 3–4 weeks. Kickoff is week one (narrative + brand alignment). Design and revisions run weeks two and three. Pro adds a fourth week for the playbook and sales handoff session.

I run the queue, manage the brand consistency, and produce the steady design output your team needs — emails, social, decks, one-pagers, ad creative, web updates. Three monthly tiers: $3,500, $6,500, and $9,000. 2. How much does The Producer cost? JA DESIGN · REMAINING PAGES · IMPLEMENTATION-READY QC-ALIGNED gotjadesign.com 16 Three tiers: $3,500 per month, $6,500 per month, or $9,000 per month. The tier is set by the volume and complexity of weekly output you need. All tiers carry a three-month minimum and then go month-to-month with 30 days notice. No hourly billing. 3. What's included in The Producer retainer? Weekly queue management, brand consistency review, and a set volume of designed assets per week (2–3 at $3,500, 4–6 at $6,500, 6–10 at $9,000). Higher tiers add light copywriting, working sessions, campaign support, sales floor design, and quarterly strategic review. Same-day turnarounds happen within capacity. 4. How is The Producer different from hiring a designer? A designer is a single person doing single tasks. The Producer is a senior creative operation — someone who knows your brand, holds the queue, sets priority, and ships consistently without you managing each project. You get the output of a small team, run by a senior creative director, at one fixed monthly fee. No payroll, no recruiting, no severance. 5. How long is the commitment? Three months minimum to start. After that, month-to-month with 30 days notice. The minimum exists so I can ramp into your brand and queue properly — most clients don't see the operating efficiency until month two or three. Most engagements run a year or more.

The Director is a senior creative director on retainer — run by my practice, not by your operations. Three tiers (Core, Plus, Lead) at $7,500, $13,500, and $18,750 per month. You get senior creative leadership without adding headcount, recruiting, or severance exposure. 2. How much does The Director cost? Core is $7,500 per month. Plus is $13,500 per month. Lead is $18,750 per month ($225,000 annualized). All tiers run on a three-month minimum, then month-to-month with 30 days notice. 3. How is The Director different from a full-time Creative Director? Same outcome. A fraction of the cost. None of the long-term risk. A full-time CD costs $200,000–$350,000 all-in once you factor benefits, recruiting, and severance. Lead delivers the same scope at $225,000, with a one-week start and a 30-day exit. No payroll, no recruiting cycle, no headcount on the books. 4. How is The Director different from a contractor or fractional employee? I'm a creative director running a practice — not a contractor renting hours. Engagements are scoped by outcome and depth, not by a timesheet. I set the cadence and allocate capacity at my discretion. You get senior creative leadership; I keep the autonomy that makes the work senior in the first place. 5. Which tier should I start with? That's what the Brand Fit Call is for. Core fits when you have an internal team and need senior direction above them. Plus fits when there's no senior creative on staff and the brand is shipping every week.

If missing, create. □ Add , <meta name="description">, <link rel="canonical">, and Open Graph tags to every page <head>. □ Paste the FAQPage JSON-LD into each page's <head> (one per page). □ Build FAQ section as plain semantic HTML — <h3> + <p> pattern. No accordions. No JS toggles. All answers visible on page load. □ Place testimonials per the assignments above. One quote = one block. Two quotes = two stacked blocks. □ Internal linking: every service page links to /work-with-me and to the Brand Fit Call CTA. □ Verify homepage trust bar is updated to the Susy DeBrigard quote. □ Run Google Rich Results Test on every page after deploy to confirm FAQPage schema validates. JA DESIGN · REMAINING PAGES · IMPLEMENTATION-READY QC-ALIGNED gotjadesign.com 30 SECTION 4 AEO notes AEO NOTES Answer Engine Optimization The FAQ structure is the AEO backbone. Every question is phrased exactly as a buyer would type it. Every answer leads with the direct response in the first sentence — then expands. This pattern wins citations in Google AI Overviews, Perplexity answers, and ChatGPT search. Specific AEO tactics in this build: • Direct-answer-first sentences: every FAQ answer opens with the literal answer, not setup. • Entity tagging: every page declares its primary entity in the H1 ("Brand Sprint," "The Director," "The Producer," "The Sales Kit," "Brand Audit") so an LLM can map "JA Design" to "creative director on retainer" cleanly. • Comparison content on Director page: the comparison table (CD / agency / Director) is what wins "fractional creative director vs full-time" queries. • Pricing transparency: every service page lists exact prices in body copy. LLMs cite pages with concrete numbers, not pages that hide pricing behind "contact us." • Schema validation: FAQPage JSON-LD on each page makes the FAQs machine-readable and AI-overview-eligible.<script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70%2F689e5ba67671442434f3ca35%2F69d571470481c540faf2348a%2Fsource_serif_4_headings-1.0.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70%2F689e5ba67671442434f3ca35%2F69d5925ba73fc0dc43ca086d%2Fcontrast_fixes_v1-1.0.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70%2F689e5ba67671442434f3ca35%2F69d6773eebf1448b73bc86f2%2Fbutton_micro_animations-1.0.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70%2F689e5ba67671442434f3ca35%2F69d716732dab7dfe4b5ae522%2Flogo_marquee_animation-1.0.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70%2F6920e91076f71b3b0ca97a18%2F69caccced76b2d0842a39681%2Fgoogle_tag-0.0.3.js" type="text/javascript" data-gtag-id="AW-18000659096"></script></head><body><div class="w-embed"><style> @media screen and (min-width:1440px) { body {font-size: 16px;} } </style></div><div data-animation="default" data-collapse="small" data-duration="400" data-easing="ease" data-easing2="ease" data-doc-height="1" role="banner" class="navbar w-nav"><div class="navbar-box"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70/69a98c801f15395d87249f14_38974334859ebf66431c8b68a62a3b99_Logo.webp" loading="lazy" alt="JA Design logo" height="61" class="image-4"/><a href="/" class="navbar-logo w-nav-brand"></a><nav role="navigation" class="navmenu-box w-nav-menu"><div class="navmenu-list"><a href="/" class="navmenu-link w-nav-link">Home</a><a href="/studio-story" class="navmenu-link w-nav-link">Studio Story</a><a href="/work-with-me" class="navmenu-link w-nav-link">Work With Me</a><a href="/insights" class="navmenu-link w-nav-link">Insights</a><a href="/projects" class="navmenu-link w-nav-link">Projects</a></div><div class="navmenu-right"><a data-remodal-target="modal2" href="#" class="w-inline-block"><div class="search-box"><img loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70/69a993e18e38399531db3141_Icon%20Button.svg" alt="" class="icn-40px"/></div></a><a data-remodal-target="modal" href="#" class="btn-transparent pop-services w-inline-block"><img loading="lazy" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70/69a997ed2b4e1a903ce7d61a_dots.svg" alt="" class="dots-btn"/><p>Services</p></a><a href="/contact-us" class="btn-coral w-inline-block"><p class="body-copy-white">Contact Us</p></a></div></nav><div class="navbar-burger w-nav-button"><div class="hamburger_6_wrap"><div class="hamburger_6_line"></div><div class="hamburger_embed w-embed"><style> .hamburger_6_wrap { --thickness: 0.15rem; --gap: 0.8rem; --rotate: 45; --width: 100%; } .w--open .hamburger_6_line { transform: scaleX(0); } .w--open .hamburger_6_line:first-child { transform: translateY(calc(var(--thickness) + var(--gap))) rotate(calc(var(--rotate) * 3 * 1deg)); } .w--open .hamburger_6_line:last-child { transform: translateY(calc(var(--thickness) * -1 + var(--gap) * -1)) rotate(calc(var(--rotate) * 1deg)); } </style></div><div class="hamburger_6_line"></div><div class="hamburger_6_line"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="section services-caregory-fon"><div class="wrapper hero-image"><div class="container"><div class="services-category-wrap"><div class="serv-wrap-plant"><div class="together hero"><p class="p-16px body-copy-white">Brand Audit</p></div><div class="serv-wrap-plant-icn"><p class="p-small p-14px red"><a href="/services/brand-sprint">Brand Sprint</a></p><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70/69b6f01b514b4e40a5b8b297_Arrow_Right_MD.svg" loading="lazy" alt="" class="icn-20px"/></div></div><div class="width-850px"><h1 class="p-64px">A senior look at your brand. <span>In one week.</span></h1></div><div class="width-700px"><p class="p-medium slate-gray cream">Your brand was sharp when you launched it.

Seven days. A written plan for what to fix first.</em></h3><p class="p-medium slate-gray">A Brand Audit is a focused review of everything your brand touches. I examine your existing assets, identify where consistency breaks down, and surface the gaps between how your brand looks and how it should. The output isn’t a report that sits in a folder — it’s a clear action plan and the documentation your team needs to get back on track.<br/>‍<br/> This isn’t a rebrand. This is for companies that already have a brand identity but need structure, consistency, and a template system to guide their team.<br/>‍<br/> Think of it as a brand system tune-up: I audit your current brand assets, surface what’s broken, tighten your brand guidelines, and deliver the templates your team will actually use to maintain consistency.</p><p class="p-medium slate-gray">Most competitors deliver a PDF summary and call it done. The Brand Audit is different because the deliverables are operational: your team walks away with actual templates, documented governance, and a prioritized roadmap — not a slide deck full of observations.</p><div class="brand-plant"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69a9535fa220145c150edf70/69b7bde7b915e78011dedc32_ColorSide.svg" loading="lazy" alt="" class="brand-icn"/><p class="p-small p-24px d-navy weight-semibold dark-mavy-75">Most clients have a clear action plan ready to implement within 24 hours of final delivery.</p></div></div><div class="services-2block-right gap-24px"><div class="brand-card"><div class="brand-card-plant"><p class="p-small">Not a rebrand</p></div><div class="brand-card-txt"><p class="p-small"><strong>I work with what you have</strong></p><p class="p-small p-24px d-navy weight-semibold dark-mavy-75">No trashing your existing brand.
