A new client relationship starts with our discovery process and develops a package around the number of deliverables and number of people involved. This is one investment that will pay dividends for decades. Trust us.
brand naming and re-naming
Your name is a huge part of your brand. It's often the first interaction your audience will have with your company—your first impression. Your brand name should reflect what is already inside and leave room for growth of meaning. A lot goes into a name and its support, we can help.

Jacob, Founder
Grayword's work was enlightening. The thoughtful, if unconventional, questions evoked real ideas with real power to create a brand that will last. Couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Mark, CEO
A few words summarize our experience working with Grayword—creativity and professionalism. Chris played a vital role in helping us creatively reshape our mission and vision. Well done!
Sarah, Co-Founder
Chris was the first person to truly listen to our vision for the company. He translated our jumbled up ideas into beautiful, concise content that helped us identify our goals. This was the most important and valuable part of our rebrand.
Staci, CMO
We've always had a unique niche and vision, but were never able to quite put it into words—until we found Grayword. We now have the right branding that says exactly who we are.
