Dev Jones Studio
Client onboarding

How a project with the studio begins.

A clear start is the whole game. Here is what the first few weeks look like, what we ask of you, and what you can expect from us once we begin.

The start process

Four phases, three weeks to a roadmap.

01Week 1

Intake & alignment

We hold a kickoff call to confirm scope, goals, and the shape of the engagement. You receive a project summary and a shared timeline within 48 hours.

Included

  • Kickoff call (60 minutes)
  • Project summary and scope confirmation
  • Shared timeline and milestones
02Week 1–2

Discovery & access

We gather the materials, accounts, and context we need to represent your brand well. This is where the studio gets embedded.

Included

  • Brand assets and existing systems access
  • Stakeholder introductions
  • Capacity audit and current-state review
03Week 2–3

Strategy & roadmap

We deliver a written direction: positioning, priorities, and a 90-day plan. You review, we align, and the roadmap becomes our shared source of truth.

Included

  • Written strategy and positioning
  • 90-day priority roadmap
  • Review session and sign-off
04Week 3+

Activation

With direction set, the studio takes the wheel on execution. You get capacity back and a weekly rhythm that keeps the work moving without you in the middle of it.

Included

  • Weekly status and working session
  • Project portal access
  • Ongoing delivery and optimization
What to expect

How we show up once we start.

One point of contact

Your studio lead owns communication end to end. No chasing multiple vendors.

A weekly rhythm

A standing working session each week keeps priorities current and unblocks anything stalled.

A shared source of truth

Your project portal holds tasks, files, notes, and invoices in one place.

Honest timelines

We tell you what is realistic, not what is easiest to say. Dates move; we say so early.

Initial requirements

What we need from you to begin.

You don't need everything ready before we talk. These come together during the first two weeks — but having them in mind speeds up discovery.

  • A completed intake form (sent after kickoff is booked)
  • Brand assets: logo files, fonts, and current brand guidelines if they exist
  • Access to the accounts we'll manage — social, calendar, and any tools in scope
  • A decision-maker available for the kickoff call and weekly sessions
  • A short list of current priorities and anything feeling stuck right now

Ready to start? Book a kickoff call and we'll send the intake form right after.

Brand DNA Intensive

A 90-minute session to get your vision out of your head.

One focused intensive. We unpack the big idea, clarify your brand identity, define your audience, and shape your messaging direction — so you leave with a Brand Clarity Memo within 2–3 days.

01

Genesis

"We help you pull the dream out of your head and shape it into a brand with vision."

For visionaries with a big idea but no clarity on how to express or structure it.

Raw ideas → real language, direction, and brand foundation.

02

Reposition

"We help you edit what's distracting you from what's working."

For founders with too many ideas, services, or offers — needing clarity and focus.

Define what's essential, remove noise, tighten brand expression.

03

Elevation

"You've evolved — now it's time your brand caught up."

For brands reaching a new level of maturity or responding to market shifts.

Realign message, audience, and identity with current vision.

Part 1 · 10 min

Recap & framing

We set the intention, recap your intake answers, and confirm what you most want to leave with.

Part 2 · 70 min

Deep-dive brand clarity

Vision unpacking, brand identity, audience and impact, messaging direction, and next-step framing.

Part 3 · 10 min

Recap & wrap-up

We recap key insights, set expectations for your Brand Clarity Memo (2–3 days), and outline optional next steps.
