Look, life's too short to play it safe & blend in. You're here to create a brand that's so loud, it's impossible to ignore. So if you're ready to make some noise, and leave a mark, we're here for it. All of it. Let's launch this thing. 🤘🏼
Stokeship is a rad little creative agency that's launching & fueling brands with d*mn good creative. Are we a branding agency? Yes. Are we a creative agency? Also yes. Are we another marketing agency? Hell no. If you're here to launch & grow. We're here to pour gas on the fire.
Check that. An “Opportunity...” It's number five, isn't it?
Okay okay, this one's less of a “problem” and more of an opportunity - a clean slate. But still, you need help either way. Because you tried to go at it on your own, but it just didn't quite turn out... You've got an idea of where you're going, but you're ready to invest in a brand identity (and the visual identity stuff - like a logo) that'll guide your brand into the future.
You're starting/founding something new - and you're looking to develop a brand strategy: market research, competitive analysis, and positioning (product, price, promotion).
And with that strategy, you're ready to create a from-scratch brand identity (brand guidelines or brand book) with the full kit of brand name, brand story, brand personality, communication style/tone, and visual identity.
And just to break that last one (visual identity) down even further. You want a full visual identity, with all the cool-looking goods - logomark, wordmark, typography, color palette, patterns, layout, icons, illustrations, and photography style.
When businesses pivot, or change their core services or offer, it usually creates a mismatch in their branding. Owners find that their current “brand” no longer feels right. They've still got those loyal customers and fans, so they're not looking for a full rebrand. They're ready for a brand refresh - updating what's working and ditching what isn't.
Throughout the natural course of business, your branding is bound to get a little bit messy. Without a north star for your branding efforts, like a brand guidelines book, things are bound to get messy. You might need a brand realignment - getting things back under control and in order. Because you yearn for those early days when everything you did felt on brand.
You've done something to lose the trust & affinity of your customers or audience. It's not great, but it is what it is. You're on damage control. We don't really specialize in reputation management, but we can certainly crush the creative. But hey, getting FUBAR'd isn't the only reason you'd want to do a full rebrand... But it certainly one of them. I mean, I guess your owner could just be a pretty badass designer and like to mix things up every month or two. Def can't imagine who that is. Cough. Rex.
Look. There's not much you can really do here. People just aren't going to care about your brand the way you do. But even then, there's not much that feels worse to a founder than to be overlooked. You know your product is awesome. You know your value. Your brand identity is solid, but nobody seems to care. You just need some creative fuel to get people to start seeing you - to start knowing, liking, and trusting you.
We get it, having non-existent, disjointed, or inconsistent branding sucks. We've been there. This sh*t is hard. It takes time and some mad creative chops. But you're not gonna be stuck there for long.
And by “branding,” we mean all sorts of “creative” to help Launch & Fuel your brand. We are a branding & creative agency after all. We do stuff like brand identity, visual identity design, logo design, website design, photography, video, graphic design, and content creative. More on all that later...
Branding? We mean all the “creative stuff” to help Launch & Fuel your brand.
So one of two things happened that got you to this point. Either you pivoted, and your current branding no longer feels “right” for your business. Or you've done your best, but everything is a big inconsistent mess. Either way, we can fix it - helping to realign and revive what's working & ditch the rest.
From here on out, it's gonna be hard to catch you. Cuz you've got a freaking rocket engine fueling your brand growth now.

Look, we know you're already 90% convinced to work with us. You just want to check out some of our actual creative work to make sure we're up to snuff. Cool. We gotchu. After all, we're pretty much the coolest branding & creative agency on the planet.
We'll probably put something awesome here at some point. But until then, you get some good ol' Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
We'll even split it into two paragraphs with this duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. It looks better than nothing, and let's be honest. Nobody's gonna read this anyway.
Probably one of more bold mission statements you've ever seen, right? In a nutshell, that's why we exist. We know the power of brand & want to build the best damn branding for you and your business. We want you to disrupt industry norms, break barriers, and connect with your intended audience in a way that makes them stop & awe. Or is it shock & awe? 🤘🏼
Some creative agencies are innit for the glory. They're off chasing Webby & Addy awards, and trying to sharpen their D&AD Pencils. Instead of blowing your creative budget to earn rewards for our agency, we work for you. Period. If a non-flashy email is what you need. We're on it. It might not make our portfolio, but it'll make you money. Lots of money $$$. And at the end of the day, that's what matters to us - results for our clients & customers.
Working with a small, boutique creative agency is where it's at (or so we hear). You'll get the quality of a big fancy agency, but the flexibility of a kick-ass freelancer. It doesn't mean we get it right 100% of the time, but we def don't get stuck in red tape & approvals. Check it... We can put as many swear words in our copy as we want. And nobody is gonna tell us no. And if we find it isn't working or resonating, we can change it tomorrow.
Despite what our moms think, we're actually probably not the best creative agency in the world. But there's a good change we're the best one for you. Because we're pretty damn good. And we don't charge like we're Pentagram. We take pride in our ability to service a full scope of branding needs for our clients - brand identity, visual identity, logos, websites, photography, videography, ads. We've got you covered - soup to nuts.
Lots of agencies do their one thing, and only that one thing. So you'll end up getting passed around, working with 10-15+ different agencies as you progress as a brand. We chose to take a more holistic approach to “brand” and build out teams in the three areas of “branding” can jump into any business, get a feel for where they're at as a “brand,” and start executing efforts to take them to the next level - whether that's a scratch identity, a brand refresh, or a full rebrand,
Our three-phase BrandSystema approach to building & growing brands helps up meet our clients where they're at. Just starting out? We can jump in and build an identity to get you off the ground. Bootstrapped and money is tight? We can water it down to “just a logo” for starters and build as you grow. Already have an identity in the works and just need to start executing. We'll jump right in - and sooner than you know, you'll feel like you've got a full marking & creative team at your disposal.
Haha. We get that a lot. We don't just say “it depends” because we don't want to tell your our pricing. It's a tricky question to answer - because branding is an investment, and the scope of every project/brand we work with us custom. But here's something that'll get the conversation started...
We have “branding” packages that fit budgets of all shapes & sizes. Well, sorta...
The most affordable way to start working with us is our $1,750 “just a logo” package. We don't take on a ton of these, but we keep the option open for brands/clients we just really wanna work with. Our standard brand identity packages (brand books) start at $5,000 & outline everything you'll need - style & visuals - to steer your brand as you launch & grow. Our custom websites start at $5,500 and go up from there, depending on scope (pages, design, content, complexity etc.) and features.
Phew! You've got a brand identity system in place. And you've got a hub to send all those new customers to (ur website). Now you're ready to get those eyeballs!
Our monthly creative packages start around $2,500/month.
