Build engagement
Crisis Rebrand (failing-brand turnaround)
90-day rebuild for a brand that's stalled, failing, or needs a clean reset.
What it is
90-day intensive engagement to rebuild a brand that is stalled (no growth in 12+ months), failing (declining revenue + churn), or needs a clean reset (post-acquisition, post-departure of original founder, post-pivot). Includes positioning reset, full content + site overhaul, agent-stack deployment, lead-funnel rebuild, customer-success automation. Followed by ongoing operating retainer.
What you get
- Diagnostic week 1: deep audit of why current state is failing
- New positioning document + brand voice (weeks 2–3)
- Full site rebuild on modern stack (weeks 3–6)
- Agent stack deployment (weeks 5–8)
- Content + lead funnel relaunch (weeks 7–10)
- Customer-success rebuild + churn-recovery (weeks 9–12)
- Ongoing operating retainer post-engagement
Pricing
From $50,000 build phase + ongoing operating retainer from $7,500/mo. 1–2 crisis rebrands per year (more capital-intensive than standard builds).
Fit profile
Capital partner who acquired a stalled brand and needs a turnaround thesis. Founders 24+ months in with no traction. Post-pivot brands needing a clean restart.
Not for
Brands that need product-market-fit work first (we do not do product strategy — only marketing + operations). Brands with brand-equity issues that require legal action (use a PR crisis firm).
Common questions
- What's your success rate on crisis rebrands?
- Across our portfolio of 4 crisis rebrands to date, 3 returned to growth within 6 months of engagement end and 1 was sold/wound down at our recommendation. We tell you when winding down is the honest answer.
- Will you take equity in lieu of cash?
- Sometimes — we'll consider equity (typically 5–15% advisor shares) for cash-constrained turnarounds where we believe in the underlying asset. Discussed case-by-case.
