You know your business. Saying it is the hard part.
Saying it well takes a strategist, a writer and a designer. That team costs more than the marketing. So most owners settle for a logo and a guess.
Or they pay anyway: website copy that took four months, a freelancer briefed three times, posts that sound like someone else.
Who it's for
One brand, or fifty.
Same deck either way. Only the number of brands changes the price.
How it works
Three steps. Done today.
Real screens, mid-job, from the example deck below.
- 1

Plain-language questions about your customers, your competitors and what you do better. Save and return anytime.

We build the strategy
Your answers run through the discovery process Bart Cleveland has used in agencies for forty years. It finds the idea you were circling and argues for it.
- 3
Use it the same day
A deck to hand a designer, a freelancer or your team, plus social content from the same strategy. Everything finally sounds like one company.
What you get
A real deck, not a summary.
Your brand strategy

- Your position against competitors
And what to do with it
- 35 content sessions, five post ideas each

- Hook, call to action, hashtags and visual per post

What it looks like
Pages you'd be happy to present.
Twenty-one agency-style pages, built from your answers. Three below, for an example business.
Riverbend Cafe is an example business, not a client. Every deck is generated from your own answers, so no two look alike. See the whole deck, page by page.
The honest comparison
Same thinking. Different invoice.
The other honest comparison
Why this isn't a chat window.
A chatbot will give you a fluent strategy, built from whatever you thought to type. You run the interview, and find out months later what you forgot.
There is a language model inside this too. The difference is what you are left holding: twenty-one pages, in a fixed order, that a designer can start on Monday.
Brandstillery asks the questions instead. Thirty-eight of them, in the same order every time. The third section is called The honest bits: twelve questions a chat window would never think to ask, because it has no reason to push. Then the deck quotes your answers back to you as evidence, so you can see where every conclusion came from.
You are not paying for the model. You are paying for the forty years around it.
The twenty-one pages, listed, and the two people behind this.
Pricing

Why we built this
For the makers and the doers.
Every business starts with a spark and a refusal to be average. You rise before dawn and push through the night.
You deserve the thinking big brands buy, not a watered-down version. That is why Brandstillery exists.
What if the deck comes back wrong?
Email us. Every deck is saved, so we see exactly what you got. If it came back wrong, we re-run it free.
Why not just ask ChatGPT?
A chat window makes you run the interview. Brandstillery asks thirty-eight questions in a fixed order and always delivers the same twenty-one pages: a document a designer can act on. More above.
Is the output any good, or is it generic AI text?
Judge it before you pay. The slides above and the post idea on What you get are unedited output for an example business. Every deck opens by reading your own answers back as evidence, which keeps it specific. If a line could be about anybody, tell us.
Can I get a refund?
The deck lands in minutes, so you see exactly what you bought. If it came back wrong we re-run it free, as many times as it takes. If re-running still does not get you something you can use, write to us and we will sort it out, including your money back. What we will not do is refund a deck that is fine because the month got tight. Every generation is saved, so we are both looking at the same thing.
Do I need to know marketing terminology?
No. The questions are in plain language. Turning your answers into strategy is our job.
How long does it take?
About forty minutes of questions, which you can save and return to. Then a few minutes to generate the deck.
Is this a subscription?
No. $500 once. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Can I change it later?
Yes. Update your answers and re-run it for $100. Earlier versions stay in your account.
Who owns what you produce?
You do, including for commercial use.
Be one of the first decks we show off.
We do not have a customer to quote yet. We have a real deck you can read before you pay, a public price, and a promise to fix it if it comes back wrong.
So buy one of the first. If it earns its keep, let us say so publicly: your name, your business, what changed, with your permission and nothing invented.
