Brand Collateral Management
Maintain consistent brand presence with organized systems, accessible templates, and ongoing support that keeps pace with your needs.
Return HomeWhat This Provides
Brand collateral management removes the ongoing burden of maintaining your visual materials. Instead of tracking down files, recreating templates, or wondering if something is current, you have a system where everything is organized, accessible, and kept up to date.
This matters because brand consistency requires sustained attention. Without active management, materials drift out of sync. Files get lost. Templates become outdated. Different versions proliferate. The visual coherence you've worked to establish gradually erodes.
You receive ongoing support that ensures your brand assets remain organized and current. Your team can create materials confidently, knowing they're using the right templates and latest versions. The system grows with you rather than becoming a constraint.
Common Management Challenges
Disorganized Assets
Files scattered across drives, email attachments, and personal computers. Nobody is certain which version is current. Finding the right asset takes longer than it should.
Outdated Templates
Your templates haven't been updated since they were created. They reflect old branding or don't account for new needs. Creating something requires starting from scratch each time.
Inconsistent Output
Different people use different versions of materials. Some have the updated logo, others use the old one. New hires don't know where to find approved assets.
Maintenance Burden
Keeping everything organized falls to whoever has time. Updates happen sporadically. The system works until it doesn't, then everything requires urgent attention.
Our Management Approach
We establish and maintain a structured system for all your brand collateral. This begins with auditing existing materials and organizing them into a logical, accessible structure. Then we maintain that system through regular updates and support.
Asset Organization
We create a digital asset management structure where all brand materials live in one accessible location. This includes logos, templates, images, fonts, and guidelines, all properly categorized and version-controlled.
Template Development
We create and maintain templates for your common needs such as presentations, documents, social media graphics, and email signatures. These stay current with your brand and adapt as requirements change.
Quarterly Refreshes
Every three months, we review your collateral for needed updates. This might include new templates, updated materials, or adjustments based on how your team is using the system.
Responsive Support
Between scheduled updates, we're available for questions, quick modifications, or urgent needs. If your team needs a new template or has questions about using materials, we respond promptly.
Team Training
We provide guidance on using the system effectively. This includes onboarding for new team members and ongoing education as your brand evolves or new templates are added.
The result is a managed system that removes the burden of maintaining brand materials while ensuring everything stays current and accessible.
Working Together Monthly
Initial Setup
We begin by auditing your existing brand assets and establishing the organizational structure. This includes cataloging what you have, identifying gaps, and setting up your digital asset management system. The first month focuses on creating order and establishing foundations.
Ongoing Maintenance
Each month, we maintain your system by keeping files organized, updating materials as needed, and ensuring everything remains accessible. This includes version control, file management, and responding to requests from your team.
Quarterly Reviews
Every three months, we conduct a thorough review of your collateral. We discuss what's working, identify new needs, and plan updates. These sessions ensure the system evolves with your organization rather than becoming static.
Available Support
Throughout the month, your team has direct access for questions or requests. Need a new template format? Have questions about using something? Want guidance on applying the brand to a new context? We respond within one business day.
Continuous Improvement
As we work with you over time, we learn your patterns and needs. The system becomes more tailored and efficient. We proactively suggest improvements based on how your team actually uses the materials.

Improvements based on usage patterns
This monthly service removes the burden of managing brand collateral from your team. The investment covers ongoing maintenance, regular updates, and responsive support. You can pause or adjust the service with 30 days notice as your needs change.
Initial setup includes a one-time onboarding period where we audit existing materials and establish your system. This typically takes two to three weeks before regular monthly service begins.
Service Impact
Ongoing collateral management provides value through sustained organization and accessibility. The benefits accumulate over time as your team develops confidence in the system and materials remain consistently current.
Time Recovery
Teams report spending significantly less time searching for files or recreating materials. What once required 30 minutes of hunting now takes seconds to locate.
Consistent Output
When everyone uses current templates and approved assets, brand consistency improves naturally. Materials created across departments maintain visual coherence.
Reduced Bottlenecks
Projects move forward without waiting for someone to find the right file or create a new template. The system removes common friction points in material creation.
Service Timeline
Most organizations see measurable improvements within the first three months as the system becomes established and team members develop familiarity with its structure.
The ongoing nature of this service means your brand collateral evolves with your needs rather than becoming outdated. Organizations maintain professional presence without dedicating internal resources to management.
Our Service Commitment
This ongoing service works when it genuinely serves your needs. We approach the relationship as a partnership where your satisfaction determines whether we're providing value. If the system isn't helping or the service isn't meeting expectations, we address that directly.
Flexible Commitment
You can pause or adjust service with 30 days notice. If your needs change or budget requires adjustment, we work with you rather than holding you to rigid terms.
Trial Period
The first three months allow both of us to assess fit. If the service isn't providing clear value during this period, we discuss adjustments or help transition materials back to your team.
Regular Check-ins
Quarterly reviews ensure the service continues meeting your needs. These conversations provide space to discuss what's working and what could improve.
Our goal is providing ongoing value. If we're not doing that, we'd rather acknowledge it honestly and adjust the approach than continue without delivering meaningful support.
