Startup branding is the strategy, identity and system that makes a funded startup look as credible as its product. At Suba, it's a fixed-scope, fixed-price sprint covering positioning, logo, colour, typography, messaging and brand guidelines, delivered in 2 to 8 weeks. The goal: stop investors, customers and hires from underestimating you because your brand lags behind what you've built.

Suba's startup branding packages start at £7,500 for Foundation, £12,000 for Growth and £18,000 for Scale. Foundation covers logo, core brand and guidelines. Growth adds a full brand system with messaging, tone of voice and social kit. Scale adds website, pitch deck and motion graphics. Add-ons are priced per scope. For context, a traditional London branding agency typically charges £40,000 to £150,000 for equivalent work.

Suba ships startup branding in 2 to 8 weeks, depending on package. Foundation takes 2 weeks, Growth takes 4, Scale takes 8. The timeline is fixed at the start of the brand sprint and built around your launch, raise or next board meeting. Weeks, not quarters.

A brand sprint is a fixed-scope, fixed-price branding engagement compressed into weeks instead of months. Suba's sprint runs strategy, identity and systems through one structured process. Foundation (2 weeks), Growth (4 weeks) and Scale (8 weeks) are all brand sprints built for funded Seed to Series A startups that need to move fast without dropping quality.

Every Suba package includes strategy, identity and production-ready brand files. Foundation: brand strategy, logo system, colour palette, brand guidelines. Growth: full brand system, graphic templates, key messaging, tone of voice, social media kit. Scale: everything in Foundation and Growth, plus website, pitch deck and template, motion graphics. Add-ons cover anything outside those scopes.

Yes, it's free and there's no catch. The brand audit is a 30-minute call with a senior Suba creative plus a written audit of your current brand, covering positioning, identity, consistency and how you stack up against the companies competing for the same attention, talent and capital. You leave with clarity on what's working, what isn't and whether a sprint with us makes sense. No pitch. No pressure.

Suba sits between a freelancer and a traditional agency. A freelancer is cheap but inconsistent, slow and usually delivers a logo instead of a system. A traditional London agency is expensive, bureaucratic and takes 3 to 6 months. Suba runs as a sprint: senior creatives only, no juniors, no outsourcing, no AI-generated design, no templates. Fixed price, fixed scope, fixed timeline, shipped in 2 to 8 weeks.

Yes. Most Suba clients are funded but pre-revenue or early-revenue. If you've raised, have a working product and a team of at least three, you're usually a fit. If you haven't raised and aren't close to revenue, Foundation is the typical starting point. The free brand audit is how we figure out timing and fit together.
