Any of this sound Familiar?

You're losing deals to competitors you know aren't as good as you.

You're embarrassed to send prospects to your website.

Your AI tools are producing generic output that could belong to any company in your space.

Your brand looks like a smaller version of your business than you've actually built.

Every conversation starts with you over-explaining what you do and why you're worth the premium.

You've invested in branding before and ended up with a logo, not a strategy.

— the brain you'll be picking

What to expect with Steve

You're probably better at what you do than your brand gives you credit for. I've spent 20 years having that conversation with business owners.

  • I've looked at websites and spotted what was quietly costing deals.

  • I've looked at logos and explained why they were signaling the wrong things to the right buyers.

  • I've helped owners see exactly where they were leaving money on the table by underpricing work they should have been charging a premium for.

Bring whatever you want a second set of eyes on. No pitch, no agenda, just an honest read on your brand from someone who has seen every version of this problem.

"Vectyr questions, assesses, and validates every assumption a company builder makes about their identity and value proposition. They live at the intersection of strategy, story, brand, and design execution."

— David Clark

"Monday I got to use this for the first time and ended up landing a high-paying client. We all wouldn't be surviving without you and your knowledge. You are an important piece of starting a successful business."

— What's the catch?

Why I do this

I've spent twenty years watching serious founders lose deals to competitors doing worse work but with a better brand. Most of them just needed someone to give them an honest read. This is that.

I Genuinely enjoy it. There's no version of a brand problem I haven't seen, and I still find it interesting every time. Thirty minutes with a real business is never wasted time.

It demonstrates how I think. I record these sessions and occasionally share clips on social media. You get a straight diagnosis. I get to show my work. That's a fair trade and I want you to know it upfront.

It's how I give back. Twenty years of pattern recognition has real value and not everyone can afford an agency engagement. If one conversation changes how you see your brand, that matters to me.
