The thinking behind it

What is a brand discovery session?

A brand discovery session is the working meeting at the start of a brand project where designer and client agree who the brand is for, what makes it different and what it must say, before anyone opens a design file. Done well, it turns the rest of the project into execution, because every design decision can be checked against what the client already agreed.

How to use it

From download to done

01

Send the questionnaire

Ask the client to fill it in before the session, so the meeting starts from their own answers.

02

Run the workshop

Use the slides to work through audience, competitors, positioning and personality together.

03

Write the strategy

Turn the session into the strategy document templates while the conversation is fresh.

04

Get it signed off

Agree the strategy in writing before design starts. It becomes the brief you design against.

Is it right for you?

Who it’s for

A good fit
  • Designers moving from logo projects to full brand projects
  • Studios that want one repeatable discovery process
  • Anyone who has lost a concept round to “I just don’t like it”
Not the right fit
  • Logo-only jobs with a fixed brief
  • Clients who will not give time for a session

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the kit?

A 45-question client questionnaire (Word and fillable PDF), 18 workshop slides, a 22-slide strategy document written as a worked example, an 8-page session guide and a Read me. Everything uses the free Manrope font.

How long does a discovery session take?

The workshop runs for three hours with a break. Allow two weeks before it for the questionnaire, and about ten days after it to write up the strategy and get it signed.

Can I charge clients for the discovery session?

Yes. Many designers charge for discovery as its own paid phase, because the strategy document has value on its own. The kit is licensed for use in your client projects.

Is this the same as the free branding questionnaire?

No. The free questionnaire has 28 questions for business owners working on their own brand. The kit’s questionnaire has 45 questions written for designers to send their clients, with a “why we ask” note for each part, plus the workshop, strategy document and guide.

How do I get the files after I pay?

Checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy. You get a download link on screen and by email straight away.
