The Deal — Working With Contrabrand

STAGE 5-1

Across the Table

Global Houses

Established names moving into new markets where nobody owes them recognition. We clarify what the brand is worth there and make every port tell the same story.

The Bosses

Founders whose story is about to matter, before a launch, a raise, or a reinvention. We sharpen it until the market repeats it back correctly.

Large Operations

Senior teams inside pivots, integrations, and transformations, where the stakes are highest and the internal bandwidth is lowest. We carry the brand work so they can carry the business.

STAGE 5-2

The Terms

Cargo gets priced on weight, distance, and how hot it is. Name yours and you'll have terms inside 48 hours. Most jobs fall into one of four configurations.

RUN TYPE 01The Drop

One tight scope for a team that needs to show up sharp. The papers, the deck, the site, and the launch map. We're in, we're out, the boat is back by morning.

TERMS ON CALL

RUN TYPE 02The Route

For operations with traction and growing chaos. Messaging frameworks, channel clarity, CRM plumbing, and a narrative that holds together at speed. The whole route, charted and crewed.

TERMS ON CALL

RUN TYPE 03The Crew

A senior strategy and growth partner, embedded in your operation. Async builds, leadership advisory, and cross-functional planning over the long haul. Player 2 joins your game.

TERMS ON CALL

STANDING ORDERThe Consigliere

For bosses who need judgment rather than execution. Ongoing advisory on brand, growth, and comms through regular calls and async review. You bring the work and we bring the verdict.

Name your cargo

STAGE 5-3

How the Deal Goes

MOVE 1

Name the Cargo

Tell us what you're actually trying to move. If you can't name it yet, that's normal, and it's the first thing the call sorts out.

MOVE 2

Meet the Crew

You talk to the people who will do the work, from the first call onward. This operation has no account layer to get past.

MOVE 3

Sign at Dusk

If we're aligned you get a scoped outline within days: the work, the timeline, and the price, written in plain language with no fine print games.
