Since the development of the Candor and Co. brand template documents I have generated an additional $120,000 in contracts within the last 6 months. I know skills and experience play the main role in the consultant selection process, however I do believe the quality branding and organization of materials I’m able to present also plays a major part in how a potential client evaluates what you are capable of producing. Lilacs on York plays a critical role in the ongoing growth of my business. Thank you for providing your clients with high quality support to make our businesses better!

Marketing Language Workshop

Work with us 1:1 as we guide you through the refinement of your brand messaging. Whatever documents or thinking you’ve done is where we start and we’ll take it from there to draft what’s listed under ‘You walk away with’. On a 90-minute strategy call we take feedback and make live edits. By the end, you’ll have content that’s between 60%-80% final. We will continue to workshop and finalize in a shared Google Doc over the next 1-2 weeks until it’s done and you have a complete set of branded language to use in your advertising and social media ongoing.

Investment starts at $2000

Due to the 1:1 nature of this work, supply is limited.

I love my logo and brand kit… better than I even envisioned. The marketing language workshop was also crucial – not only to get me to final language, but also as a space of reflection on what I deeply believe, value and want to do in this work.

I thought I was clear before working with you all, but this process gave me a new level of clarity to take into launching my business. I so appreciate the guidance and coaching you provided along the way.
