Deliberate identity and voice for regional enterprise

Disciplined services anchored in physical craft and clear prose

The studio delivers four core disciplines, each defined with finite milestones and published price brackets. We do not engage in open-ended speculative retainers or vague advisory engagements.

Branding Packages: We engineer complete visual identity systems comprising logotypes, mark conventions, primary and secondary typographic hierarchies, color governance, stationery mechanicals, and bound identity manuals. Pricing ranges from 2,500 to 7,500 USD per project, with turnaround cycles between 2 and 6 weeks.

Brand Strategy & Positioning: Prior to visual execution, we construct the commercial argument. This discipline delivers rigorous market audits, audience segmentation, core messaging pillars, and competitor differentiation matrices. Strategy projects are priced between 3,500 and 9,500 USD and conclude within 4 to 8 weeks.

Brand Consultation Sessions: For business owners seeking immediate clarity on naming, identity audits, or message restructuring, Anna conducts 1-hour private diagnostic sessions. These are billed at a flat rate of 198 to 200 USD per session and include a written memorandum of tactical recommendations delivered within 48 hours.

Editorial Copywriting: Voice is visual identity made audible. We draft publication-grade website prose, packaging narratives, brand playbooks, and executive profiles. Copywriting is billed at 45 to 80 USD per hour with predetermined hourly caps established before draft work begins.

Three structural commitments that govern our engagements

Every studio has a philosophy, but few establish binding operational limits. At Oak Merton, our workflow is constrained by three rules designed to protect the clarity of the finished product and the sanity of the working relationship.

First, we eliminate speculative churn. We do not enter unpaid pitch competitions, generate unsolicited creative decks, or present five divergent aesthetic routes to test focus groups. We study the business model, examine the competitive terrain, select the singular right direction, and refine it through two exhaustive revision rounds.

Second, we publish our fee structure openly. A prospective client should know whether our services align with their capital reserves before scheduling an introductory conversation. You will find our project ranges from 2,500 to 9,500 USD and our hourly copy rate of 45 to 80 USD stated plainly on our rates schedule.

Third, we build for physical production. Identity systems that only look polished on glowing desktop monitors often fail when letterpressed onto 600gsm cotton board, embroidered onto workwear, or cast in bronze building signage. We test ink drawdowns, specify paper weights, and provide press-ready mechanical files for every visual identity engagement.
