We find the tensions and conviction beneath the work. Your archetype. Your belief. Your brand truth. By holding together these three layers, we define who the brand actually is.

How We Work

From first conversation to your Cultural Brand Toolkit.

1.

Book a call.

Tell us where you are. We'll tell you where to start. The starting point is always the founder.

2.

Discover

Answer deep questions about your Company, Customers, Category, Culture and Founder. This is not a quick form. It surfaces what most founders carry but rarely articulate.

3.

Define.

We read your inputs through the 4C+1F framework, finding the conviction beneath the tensions.

4.

Deliver.

Thirteen component parts. Built sequentially. Confirmed at every gate. Together: your Cultural Brand Toolkit.

5.

Support.

The Toolkit is yours. We remain available to maintain, refine, and extend the work as your business evolves.

What You Take Away

You walk away with your brand's strategic blueprint.

Thirteen component parts, structured as one comprehensive file, that travel with you into every room for the next eighteen months and beyond.

Each component sharpens how you communicate with every audience and how you decide on every strategic move.

Investors: succinct, comprehensive pitches that land and hold up under questioning, increasing your effectiveness.

Customers: a brand experience that holds together across every touchpoint, building trust and driving conversion over time.

New and existing talent: a single-minded and sharp narrative that supports both acquisition and retention.

Audiences and channel decisions: clarity on which audiences live where, what reaches them, and what doesn't. Marketing investment becomes a strategic choice, not a guessing game.

Your own thinking: a brand truth to test every strategic choice against, so the next decision arrives with conviction.

Orange's job is to put it in your hands. Yours is to use it.

FAQs

Clear answers, before we begin.

I don't have a brand yet. Is that okay?

That's often when the work is most valuable. The Cultural Branding Toolkit (CBT) is built to create from scratch, not to polish what already exists. If you have conviction and can talk about what you're building, you have everything you need.

I'm pre-revenue. Can I still apply?
Do you use AI in your methodology?
I'm a Head of Brand at a scale-up, not the founder. Is Orange right for us?
Do you work with founders outside Africa and the diaspora?
Do you work remotely or in person?
What happens after the engagement ends, and will you do my brand design?

Still have questions?

Reach out and we’ll get back to you shortly.
