Dog Whistle Branding

What happens when design is the bottleneck? 

You came up with a great business idea, maybe even raised some capital for it, and then decided to hire an outside design agency, like ours at The MisFits, to build your brand identity. You had good momentum at first, but you can’t agree on the right design yet. Now what. 

This is a frustrating challenge for the client and the design team. If I sound like I’m speaking from first-hand experience, it's because I am. Design can be a huge bottleneck when launching a venture from scratch, especially if you need it for your website, packaging, and other collateral before you can move forward. 

Today on the show, Drew and I discuss the challenges of getting clients through our design process and some words of advice for those of you working with an external design team.
