BRAND COMMS VIP DAYS

Want more impactful and effective brand communications - right now?

Of course you do.

Book a VIP Day with me and you’ll have a seasoned brand and messaging strategist* 100% dedicated to your business. No distractions, no other clients, just pure focus. Perfect if you want to check off tasks that will help level up your brand comms quickly.

*That’d be me. More than 2 decades in the business. Seasoning may include sugar, salt and spice.

Is your brand messaging a little all over the place?

Maybe you have something like a Really Important Pitch coming up you’d like an expert’s insights on to give it extra polish.

Or perhaps without a brand comms specialist in-house, you feel like you’re guessing about your messaging a little too often. 

*record scratch* 

Hand over those important-but-not-urgent brand comms tasks that you don’t really have the skills for in-house and

get expert insights, no-nonsense guidance and easy-to-implement recommendations - in just 1 day:

  • Messaging that accurately represents what your brand is all about

  • More organised, focused and impactful communications

  • Completed comms-related tasks that have been on your to-do list for way too long

  • Peace of mind knowing that your brand comms are on the right track

… without having to wait weeks to schedule the work in.

What can you get out of your VIP Day?

It’s up to you: Use my brain in a way that’s most valuable to what you have going on in your business.

We’ll figure this out and agree the scope of work during your Planning Call, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. This could be:

  • A fresh, expert and external perspective on your brand comms (particularly useful if you feel like you can’t see the wood for the trees)

  • A sounding board for your messaging ideas and challenges

  • Senior level feedback to improve a brand communication you’ve already drafted, e.g. a pitch document, presentation, about page, positioning document, company profile

  • Tightened up and better focused messaging in a specific comms piece to make it more impactful 

  • Brand strategy support for a business milestone/event, e.g. a VC funding pitch, conference presentation

  • Suggestions for better aligning your messaging with your brand strategy and business objectives.

What I don’t do on VIP Days

  • Live copywriting, live copy editing or real-time co-writing on a call with you. I’m happy to write and edit, but work a lot better without an audience. 

  • Strategy from scratch. Strategy projects are big and need loads of research and discovery up front. I can’t wing this in a day. If you have a strategy project in mind, let’s chat about how I can best help you.

  • Create your brand voice. Defining your brand voice and creating guidelines for it also takes longer than a day. You can use your VIP Day for a Brand Voice Audit if you want to get that done faster than my typical 10 day turnaround. 

  • Graphic design. I’m a strategist and copywriter, but please do not ask me to design anything unless you want a really good laugh 😉

Hey, I’m Jo

… a brand and messaging strategist and copywriter who’s been doing this for 25+ years. 100+ clients, 40+ countries. I’m an ex-agency employee, freelancer and owner. 

Now I work solo, offering clients like you agency-calibre expertise and independent consultant attention. 

I’m usually working on larger strategy projects but set aside a few days a month for VIP Days. So you can book time with me faster, without having to wait until I have a gap (plus these days are intense and fun!). Sounds good? Let’s get your VIP Day booked.

  • "Jo’s frank and honest approach to our working together not only brought what was needed to the table, she challenged me to do more to get the result I was looking for. "

    Stephen, Shumi Technologies, UK

  • "Jo helped us incredibly by bringing clarity and organization to our previously disconnected efforts to show our brand to the world."

    Sebas, SEGUI (now Subara), Spain

  • "Jo has lots of experience, she is super hands-on and an outstanding communicator. With her help, we brought our brand values and communication to a next level."

    Korbi, Plantix, Germany

  • "Jo was kind, she listened with interest making me feel heard and she asked all the right questions. In the process, she helped me to get to the core of our messaging and leave the fluff out."

    Ana Monica, Kingdom Curls, UK

  • "Jo challenged my thinking and helped me surface new ideas. Quality work in record time and with joy."

How your VIP Day will work

Step 1: Book it in

Click here to book a 15 min call with me to schedule your VIP Day and chat about what I can get done during it.

If we’re both happy to proceed, I’ll send you an invoice for $1,500 (ex VAT where applicable) and a brief questionnaire to fill in.

Once I’ve received your payment and completed questionnaire, you’ll get an email confirming your booking and calendar requests for your Planning and Review Calls.  

Step 2: Planning Call

Let’s get started! In this 60 minute conversation, usually 2 working days before your VIP Day, I’ll ask any questions I have about the materials you shared.

We’ll also re-confirm your objectives, define what work I can realistically get done, and agree how much (or little) we’ll be in contact during your Day. 

Step 3: The VIP Day itself

Here’s where I put my head down, noise-cancelling earbuds in, phone on silent and focus intensely and exclusively on your brand comms for a whole day.

Your business gets my undivided attention as I apply my 25+ years of experience to your project. 

Step 5: Review Session

The last 30 min of your VIP Day will be a Zoom call during which I’ll talk through what I’ve achieved for you. You’ll have a further 48 hours afterwards to email over any other questions. 

Optional: Revisions

As this is a time-based project, when the day’s done, I’m done. Revisions are not included in your VIP Day but if you’d like me to make changes, you can book a Revision Bundle for $450.

FAQs

  • You’ll get the most value from a VIP Day if you have brand communications you would like me to review or provide guidance on. So you’ll also need to have a product/service and customers already. If you also have a brand strategy document I can refer to, that’s even better. If not, I can help with that.

  • My VIP Days cost $1,500 (excl. VAT where applicable). Pricing is in US Dollars.

  • This is a pretty hands-off service for you. After our initial Scheduling Call you just need to be available for the Planning Call (60 min) and your Review Session (30 min). It’ll also be helpful if you are contactable via email on the day if I have any questions.

  • During your Scheduling and Planning Calls, I’ll let you know what I can deliver in a day. I guarantee that I’ll complete this. Having been in this industry for more than 2 decades, I’ve become super accurate at estimating how long something will take. In the very unlikely event that I don’t finish what I promised during your VIP Day, I will finish it ASAP at no extra cost to you.

  • I’ll let you know during your Scheduling and Planning Calls what I can realistically get done, so you’ll be clear on what to expect. If your project will require more than one day to complete, you can book more than one VIP Day, or even a whole week.

  • No, sorry. We’ll agree the scope of work in your Scheduling and Planning Calls and I will structure the day around this. If you would like me to tackle anything else, I’ll be happy to do so on an additional VIP Day.

  • You’ll have 48 hours after the end of your VIP Day to email over any questions. Revisions are not included in your VIP Day but if you’d like me to make changes, you can book a Revision Bundle for $450.

  • No, your VIP Day is not a coaching session. I also don’t edit or write live with an audience (eek!) If you are interested in Brand Strategy or Brand Voice Coaching, please click here for more information. However if you would like to include a brainstorm session as a part of your VIP Day, I’d be happy to accommodate that.

  • Yes! In addition to VIP Days I also offer Brand Strategy Coaching, which works slightly differently. Let’s chat about which is best for you.

  • Not at all! VIP Days are for clients who want to get work done in a quick, urgent sprint, without having to wait weeks for availability. If you’re under less time pressure, I’d be happy to schedule you in when I can. Have a browse through this site to see what I offer and please get in touch if you’d like to chat

  • No. I’m a brand and messaging strategist, and copywriter - not a designer. I do the strategic thinking that comes before any design or copy work. I can help with strategy and words, but my design skills are sadly non-existent.
