For the change-makers.

The Ripple Effect

We believe that all businesses, especially ones making an impact, deserve a solid, successful brand.

The Ripple Effect is a project started alongside Brackish’s branding services to lift up business making an impact. There are many ways to make an impact and change the world for the better. We’re focusing our efforts on startups, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations with less than $50,000 in funding, as well as those founded, led by, or serving individuals from underrepresented groups.

A Branding Intensive valued at $2,500 to jumpstart your mission.

We’ll work with you over the course of 4 weeks to strategize, plan, and create a cohesive brand that fits your needs. The process includes a brand exploration workbook, brand strategy and inspiration, and one full design day dedicated to your brand. At the end of the day, you’ll walk away with a brand identity, logo suite, color palette, and typography recommendations.
