Let’s talk — we’ll diagnose your current Brand’s Core DNA and match you with the perfect Total Takeover Plan.
Your brand's mission is our priority, we have limited slots each month, get locked-in to get ahead of the herd and we'll send our designated Brand Engineer to begin your Brand's Diagnostics.
Mad Cow Answer: Branding is the difference between being a forgotten background noise and a market dominator. We don't just design pretty pictures; we engineer your brand's experience. It’s about more than consistency - it's about building credibility, trust, and a tribe of long-term fans. We ensure your assets sing across every platform, and yes, we'll teach you how to use your new Rulebook. We even throw in a month of quick drop-in support instructions so you’re never left to graze alone.
Mad Cow Answer: We are a true creative powerhouse with a herd of design skills ready for a Total Takeover. From the illustrative heart of your brand (Mascots, Illustration, Graphic Design) to essential brand items (business cards, flyers, web banners) and even Website Design - if it needs to be disruptive and unique, we're in. We only focus on the visual rebellion. For clarity: we do not write copy, handle marketing, or run social media. That's a whole different pasture away from our mad cow skills!
Mad Cow Answer: We sure do! We create brand-focused web mock-ups and builds that align perfectly with your new visual identity, making your online presence work together like a well-milked moonshine. We design using the best no-code/low-code builders to ensure efficiency, but our focus is always the bespoke design. We handle the technical lassoing (domains, analytics, assets) to ensure a smooth hand-off, leaving you ready to dominate your digital space.
Mad Cow Answer: A logo is just one tiny, lonely piece of the puzzle. True branding is your personality, your mood, and the feeling you give people. If all you have is a logo, you’re stuck in the beige void and missing out on the juicy bits that make a brand truly unforgettable. We give you the full Brand DNA Rulebook - the system and assets you need to turn that single logo into a full, disruptive experience.
Mad Cow Answer: "That won’t happen - because we don’t design in the dark. Our 4-phase Total Takeover Protocol is built on deep diagnostics and strategy (Phase 1 & 2) that nail your vision before a single pixel is placed. Our first concept will be based on your unique Brand DNA. If we’re slightly off-target, we simply recalibrate and refine until we hit the mad genius mark. You have full confidence that we won't stop until you're ready to dominate."
Mad Cow Answer: "It all starts with our 4-phase Total Takeover Protocol. First, you book a 'Begin Diagnostics' call to tell us your story and reveal your Brand’s distress signal. We then enter Strategy and begin Deconditioning (Moo-Washing!) to clear out the creative noise. We handle the Handcrafted Takeover and, finally, arm you with a Cattle Guard (Overwatch) for ongoing support. Initiate Mission to begin the conversation."
Mad Cow Answer: Absolutely - this is a brand partnership, partner! You’re the OG of your own pasture, and your input is critical to our mission. We’ll collaborate, and you'll have specific opportunities to provide feedback at key stages of our Total Takeover Protocol. Everything is clearly defined from the start to ensure we bring your unique vision to life, backed by solid strategic thinking.
Mad Cow Answer: The process is tailored to your mission, typically ranging from 1 to 8 weeks from start to finish. The exact timeline depends on your chosen package and the scope of work (e.g., logo vs. full brand overhaul). The one factor that always speeds up the mission? Quick feedback from you! We keep communication tight, so you always know exactly where we are in the Takeover.
Mad Cow Answer: "We get it - you’re the ambitious underdog, not the corporate giant. That's why we don't do beige, overpriced retainer packages. Our work is human-forged for maximum impact, but our tiered system is designed to meet you where you are. Kick off your mission with our 'Grazing Startup' (£150) package for the essential foundation, or chat with us through a 'Begin Diagnostics' call to find your perfect fit."
