The BrandsThatPunch™ Approach
The Minimum Viable Brand (MVB)
Defines the essential elements your brand needs from day one, in three trims: Starter, Standard and Special.
What /
A Minimum Viable Brand (MVB) is the smallest brand foundation you need to launch with confidence. It comes in three trims: Starter, Standard and Special. Same brand underneath. More built in as you move up.
01
Starter. For new businesses.
Your North Star, mission, vision and values, plus your claim. Add Brand Filters, Logo, Colour and Typography.
02
Standard. For businesses already running.
Everything in Starter, with your claim verified against your customers and competitors, then sharpened into a difference you own.
03
Special. For businesses ready to grow.
Everything in Standard, with the full Strategy on a Page. Adds System & Structure, Voice & Language and Key Visual.
Why /
Great brands don’t need to wait for perfection, they need direction. An MVB helps you launch confidently, make smart decisions, and evolve without losing focus.
01
Speeds Up Launch
You move to market faster with a focused identity system that’s ready to use across platforms.
02
Protects Consistency
Your brand looks and feels unified across every touchpoint, even in its earliest stages.
03
Supports Growth
As your brand evolves, your MVB becomes the flexible foundation you can scale without starting over.
How /
Pick the trim that fits where you are. Start small, add more as you grow, and never start over. Need something from a higher plan? Add it to any trim, à la carte.
