/01/Projects

How projects run

Projects.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope. We agree the timeline in the proposal before we start, and you get a status update every Friday until launch.

What does a project cost?

Projects are fixed-scope and fixed-price: Focused £15,000, Medium £25,000 and Major £35,000. We confirm the price in the proposal before we start. VAT registration is under application; prices will show VAT once registered.

What’s the difference between Focused, Medium and Major?

Focused is one discipline and one clear outcome, such as a brand platform, an identity or a website. Medium is two disciplines working together. Major is strategy, identity and website as one project, from Find to launch.

What do you need from us to start?

A few lines about your idea, then time for a first call and a workshop with your team. We take it from there.

/02/Partnerships

Monthly support

Partnerships.

Should we start with a project or a partnership?

Start with a project when you need something made: a brand, a website or a launch. Choose a partnership when you want steady support every month.

What are the partnerships?

There are three. Creative (£2,500 a month) is creativity on tap: ongoing design and content. Growth (£4,000 a month) runs growth as one plan: channels, campaigns and measurement. Strategic (£6,000 a month) puts strategy at the top table: senior strategy, brand and growth leadership.

Can we move between them?

Yes. Many clients start with a project and move to a partnership once the brand is live. You can change or end a partnership with notice, as set out in the agreement.

/03/Ownership

Who owns what

Ownership.

Who owns the work?

You do. Once the final invoice is paid, the work is yours.

Can we show the work in your portfolio?

We ask every client before we publish anything. If you would rather keep a project private, we will.

/04/Process

How we work

Process.

What happens first?

Find: research into your business, customers, culture and market, including a workshop with your team. You get a short Find summary before we move to Shape.

How will we know how it’s going?

You get a status update every Friday, from kick-off to launch, and a reply to any question within one working day.

Where are files kept?

In a shared Dropbox folder you can open at any time. Final files are delivered there too.

What are the four steps?

Find (research), Shape (strategy), Tell (creative form) and Move (launch, measure, refine, extend). Every project and partnership runs on them. See our approach.

/05/Working together

Practical things

Working together.

Do you work outside London?

Yes. We work with founders across the UK and beyond. Most of the work happens remotely, with workshops in person or on a call.

How quickly do you reply?

Within one working day.

Do you do blockchain development?

No. Web3 is a sector our clients work in, not a service we sell. We do the brand, the site and the growth.

What if something goes wrong?

Tell us straight away and we will put it right. If you are still unhappy, our complaints process explains what happens next.

How do we start?

Email hello@byplaybook.com or use the contact form. We reply within one working day and set up a first call.
