Managing a Brand can be hard. It's even harder without a brand system

Built for B2B marketing teams at companies with 25–250 employees — past the stage of piecing together freelancers, not ready to justify a full-time creative director. The Brand Fit Call is the gate: a 30-minute conversation to confirm this is the right engagement before either of us commits. Most clients start with the Brand Audit.

Services I can Offer

Senior creative leadership, without the senior-level overhead

For B2B marketing teams who need more than a freelancer but aren't ready for a costly full-time hire, I work directly with your team to identify gaps, build scalable systems, and deliver creative work that wins business — so your brand isn't reinventing the wheel with every project.

"We used JA Design when we first got started — it was one of the best investments we've made. Josh took the time to learn our business, our mission, and the persona we needed to communicate. Everything was 100% custom. We serve large organizations and our materials are of higher quality than theirs."

The Director

I embed in your team as the creative director you don't have — owning brand decisions, governance, and design direction so you can stop being the default creative lead. Strategy and execution. Not a consultant. Not a vendor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a brand audit?

A brand audit is a written diagnostic of your existing brand system. I review every public-facing asset — website, deck, social, sales materials — flag the inconsistencies, and deliver a prioritized fix plan. It is not a redesign. It tells you what to fix before anyone touches a file.

How much does a brand audit cost?

$4,500 flat, paid 100% on kickoff. One-time. No retainer attached.

What does a brand audit include?

A full review of your live brand assets, documented inconsistencies with screenshots, a prioritized fix list, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. You receive a written PDF deliverable plus the live walkthrough.

How do I know if I need a brand audit?

Three signals: your team is asking 'is this on-brand?' before publishing; your assets look different across channels; or your brand has drifted across multiple freelancers, agencies, or in-house hires. If any of those are true, the audit pays for itself.

How long does a brand audit take?

Seven days from kickoff to walkthrough. Day 1 is kickoff. Days 2–5 are the review. Day 6 is delivery. Day 7 is the walkthrough call.
