Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Loam Strategy.
How long does a typical engagement last?
Most foundational projects (strategy + brand identity) take 8-12 weeks. Focused projects like blind spot audits and refinements can be faster, typically 3-4 weeks. We prioritize doing it right over doing it fast, and we'll give you a clear timeline during our discovery call.
Do you work with startups or established companies?
Both. Startups benefit from getting their foundation right from the beginning—avoiding the costly rebranding that often happens later. Established companies benefit from uncovering the blind spots that have accumulated over time and refining what's working while fixing what's not.
What makes a blind spot audit different from a regular brand audit?
Traditional brand audits evaluate what exists—your current assets, messaging, and positioning. Blind spot audits reveal what's missing or hidden—the assumptions, misalignments, perception gaps, and structural issues that aren't obvious from the inside. It's less about scoring what you have and more about uncovering what you can't see.
How hands-on are you versus just handing off deliverables?
We're collaborative throughout. We don't disappear for weeks and then present finished work. We involve you in discovery, share work in progress, iterate based on feedback, and teach you how to use what we create. Our deliverables are tools you'll actually use, not documents that sit in a folder.
What does it cost to work with Loam Strategy?
Projects start at $5,000 for focused work (blind spot audit + strategic refinements) and range up to $25,000+ for comprehensive brand foundations (strategy + visual identity + messaging + implementation). We'll discuss your specific needs and provide transparent pricing in our discovery call.
Do you offer ongoing support after the project ends?
Yes. After establishing your foundation, many clients benefit from ongoing partnership—monthly strategy sessions, continuous refinement, implementation support, and evolution as your business grows. We call this "maintaining soil fertility" and offer retainer options for clients who want sustained collaboration.
