Reviews & Testimonials

I have almost tripled my sales since working with Jamie, but more importantly, I have direction, context, and the ability to create a living breathing community, an ecosystem, of people who identify with my message and vision that is growing by the day.

Alex Craig • Owner/Coach at Alex Craig Coaching

As a founder and product marketer, I've done my fair share of messaging and positioning...and I can tell you with confidence that Jamie Cox is the real deal. For founders, even ones with a marketing background like me, it can be extremely overwhelming to try to zoom out and make high-quality brand decisions. Jamie makes brand strategy so much less daunting for me through her frameworks and expertise.

Caroline Fay • The Extra Group

From my initial consultation with Jamie, it was clear that she is a standout professional who delivers on her promises. Her attentive approach and thoughtful questions established the foundation for a personalized experience...She skillfully unraveled the intricacies of my brand...Jamie’s exceptional ability to translate the intangible essence of a brand into a tangible reality is truly remarkable and invaluable.

Melanie Obitz-Bukartek

If I ever had questions...Jamie was available to provide the information or support that I needed. I really can't imagine working with anyone else!

Collette Revere • Founder at Open360™ and 8Kind Co.

Working with Jamie has really enabled me to elevate every level of what I do. It’s been a game changer and I can’t recommend her more highly.

Amber Mogg Cathey • Founder at Nashville Vocal Studio

As business owners, we don’t always see how we fit into our market’s landscape. Having an outside professional like Jamie look at my business and help identify opportunities was so worth it...It’s helped me connect with my audience and grow my business. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made.

FAQ

Got a Question?

Here are the answers to some of your most frequently asked questions!

What exactly does $3,985 cover?

The cost of $3,985 covers all five personalized one-on-one strategy sessions, the comprehensive, personalized brand strategy document that includes your ideal client personas, competitive analysis, strategic positioning, brand personality framework, key messages, and marketing recommendations. It also includes detailed feedback and refinement of your work between sessions. The price does not include ongoing support after the program ends, but we can discuss additional support options if needed.

What if I need more than five sessions?

This program is designed with five sessions to provide you with the foundational tools you need to build your brand. If you feel you need additional support, we can discuss ongoing consulting or retainer offers to help you further refine and implement your strategy.

How do you ensure that the brand strategy is actually implemented effectively?

While this program focuses on creating the strategy, implementation largely depends on your commitment and ability to take action. However, we can discuss next steps for your implementation or even explore ongoing support options to help you navigate the execution phase.

What happens if I don’t complete the assignments between sessions?

The assignments are designed to help you build your brand step by step, and completing them will ensure you get the most out of the program. I recommend setting aside 3-4 hours per week to dedicate to this work during the first four weeks. This will allow you to stay on track and make meaningful progress.

All assignments need to be completed by the end of Week 4 so I can compile your final brand strategy in Week 5. If the work isn't completed by Week 4, I will still invoice for the program, but the final brand strategy will not be compiled until the work is finished. Please note that I cannot pick up or continue a project that has been paused for an extended period (e.g., more than a month). It’s important to maintain momentum and complete the work within the program timeline to ensure a successful outcome and to avoid any delays.

How much customization is there in the deliverables?

The deliverables are highly customized to your unique business and brand. While I’ll be using proven frameworks to guide the process, everything will be tailored to fit your specific business goals, audience, and market.

How do you handle businesses that are not yet clear on their ideal client or brand personality?

This program is perfect for founders and solopreneurs who might be in the early stages of figuring out their ideal client or brand personality. If you’re not yet clear on these areas, that's okay! One of the first sessions will help you uncover this critical information.
I’ll guide you through a structured process to define your ideal client and develop your brand personality, ensuring you move forward with a clear, actionable strategy. Whether you’re just starting to build your brand or looking to refine it, this program is designed to help you dig deep and gain clarity. We’ll work together to look at your brand with fresh eyes, so you can create a strong foundation that resonates with your ideal audience.

What measurable results can I expect after completing the program?

The program’s primary outcome is a well-defined brand strategy. While immediate tangible results may not be visible right away, you’ll have a clear roadmap to follow that will set you up for future growth, including better-targeted marketing efforts and more effective messaging.

How do I know if this program is the right fit for my business?

This program is ideal for businesses in the first 1-3 years of operation who are looking to establish a clear brand foundation. If you’re a service-based business owner who feels overwhelmed by branding or marketing, this program will provide you with the clarity and structure needed to move forward confidently. If you’re still refining your product or service, it might be worth considering whether a different program or service better suits your needs.

Is the focus more on marketing or branding?

The program is focused primarily on branding, as it aims to create a cohesive brand strategy that you can use to attract the right customers. However, the marketing recommendations provided will be based on that strategy, helping you to take the right next steps in reaching your audience through the right channels.

How hands-on is your support during the program?

During the program, I’ll be very hands-on in reviewing your work between sessions, providing feedback, and refining your brand strategy. We will speak via video call once a week and you’ll have ongoing access to me via email. You’ll have my support throughout the process, but ongoing support beyond the program can be discussed if needed.

Can I apply the brand strategy to other aspects of my business?

Yes! Your brand strategy should inform every part of your business. Whether you’re building a sales process, hiring support, or launching a new campaign, your brand strategy acts as a guide to ensure clarity, alignment, and consistency across all touchpoints. It helps you make decisions faster and communicate more effectively—internally and externally.

How do you ensure that the strategy is aligned with my long-term goals?

Brand Kickstart isn’t just about what’s working now—it’s built to support the kind of business you’re building for the future. Throughout the program, I’ll guide you to make decisions that align with your long-term goals, so your brand can scale with clarity and confidence.
