NEITHER IS THIS PROCESS.
At Z&Co., we prioritize conversations over contracts, emphasizing the importance of fit alongside budget. We provide an honest overview of our services and costs, with details shared after our Creative Coffee Chat to discuss your brand's specific needs.

Our Packages
Both are built around your brand's actual needs and not a one-size package. The right fit becomes clear after our Brand Discovery.
Growth Package
Growing brands ready to refine + convert | Timeline: 6–8 weeks
For founders and growth-stage brands that need a strategic foundation: positioning, identity, and the clarity to move with confidence. You have a vision. The Growth Package gives it structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
If something isn’t here, let us know in the Brand Discovery.

Most branding studios start with design. We start with strategy.
Before a single color is chosen or a logo is sketched, we do the infrastructure work — market positioning, audience clarity, brand voice, messaging architecture. The visuals come after, and they come informed. That's what makes the difference between a brand that looks good and a brand that actually performs.
Our founder also brings something most boutique studios don't: years of enterprise-level product development experience inside one of the largest retailers in the country. That means the strategic rigor we apply to your brand isn't guesswork — it's the same thinking that drives businesses worth hundreds of millions of dollars, scaled intentionally for founders who are building something that matters.
We don't decorate ideas. We structure them.
-
Not at all. We work with founders at every stage — from "I have a vision and nothing else" to "I have a brand but it's not working the way it should."
If you're starting from scratch, we'll build your foundation from the ground up. If you're coming in with existing assets, we'll audit what's there, identify what's working, and rebuild around a strategy that actually serves where you're going — not just where you've been.
The only requirement is that you're serious about what you're building. The rest, we can work with.
-
It depends on the scope of your engagement, but here's a general sense:
The Growth Package typically runs a minimum of 6 weeks to 8 weeks. The Premium Package runs a minimum of 10 weeks to 12 weeks. Strategic Retainers are ongoing by nature and structured around your specific goals and timeline.
Every project begins with our Brand Discovery — a low-pressure intake conversation where we get clear on what you need, what you're working toward, and what a realistic timeline looks like for your situation. We'll never rush the work that needs time, and we'll never drag out a process that doesn't.
-
Yes! We understand that a brand investment is a real one, and we want to make it accessible without compromising the quality of the work.
All projects begin with a non-refundable deposit to secure your place in the project schedule. The remaining balance is structured in installments tied to project milestones, so you're never paying for work that hasn't happened yet. Specific payment structures are outlined in your proposal and confirmed in your client agreement.
If you have specific budget constraints or questions before booking, bring them to your Brand Discovery and we'll talk through it together.

Start with booking a Brand Discovery.
It's a short, relaxed intake process — no pressure, no pitch. Just an honest conversation about your brand, your goals, and whether we're the right fit for each other. If we are, we'll put together a proposal that outlines exactly what the engagement looks like, what's included, and what it costs.
From there, a signed agreement and a deposit confirm your spot, and we get to work.

Absolutely. Z&Co. is a digital-first studio. Our clients are based across the country, and our process is built to work seamlessly remotely. Strategy sessions, presentations, and collaboration all happen through clear, structured touchpoints that don't require you to be in the same room as us.
If you're based in Minneapolis and want to connect in person, we're open to that too. But geography has never been a barrier, and it won't be for you.
