Our Bread & Butter
Our Bread & Butter
Branding, strategy & creative direction for businesses who want to look hot, grow intentionally, and stop guessing with their marketing.
THE THINKING. THE CREATIVE. THE DOING.
Good marketing rarely fits neatly into a service menu.
You might come to us thinking you need more content and discover the real problem is positioning.
You might think you need a rebrand when what you actually need is clarity around your offer.
Or you might know exactly what needs to happen — you just need the right people to make it happen properly.
That's why Taiyo starts with the problem, not the deliverable.
Strategy first. Creative always. Execution where it makes sense.
Ways to work with us
Brand Evolution
When the business has moved forward, your brand needs to catch up.
You've built credibility, refined your offers and gotten much clearer about who you want to work with — but the way the business looks and talks still belongs to an earlier version of it.
Brand Evolution closes that gap.
We get clear on your positioning, audience, messaging and where the business is heading, then translate it into a strategic visual identity that actually supports the next stage of growth.
So you're not just walking away with a nicer logo.
You're walking away with a clearer position, stronger perceived value and a brand system that makes everything from your website to your sales deck feel like it belongs to the same bloody business.
Best for: established businesses repositioning, moving upmarket, entering a new phase of growth or simply ready to look as good as the work they do.
Includes: Brand strategy + positioning / messaging direction / visual identity / brand system + guidelines
Investment: From $5,000+ GST
The result:
A brand that looks, sounds and feels like the business you've become.
Social, Sorted
Stop spending time making content for social media without knowing whether it's doing its job.
You're posting. Maybe someone on your team is posting.
But there's no clear answer to:
What are we actually trying to achieve here?
So content becomes reactive. Ideas dry up. Performance is hard to judge. And everyone keeps making more without knowing what should change.
Social, Sorted gives your team the strategy behind the content.
We audit what's happening now, identify what's actually working, understand who you're trying to reach and build a clear system around what to say, who you're saying it to and why it deserves to exist.
Best for: businesses that have the capacity to execute social internally but need a senior strategic lens on what they're doing.
Includes: Full channel audit / audience + competitor research / messaging / content strategy / brand voice / 30-day plan / recorded walkthrough
Investment: $2,200 + GST
The result:
You stop guessing what to post and start creating content with an actual reason behind it.
Retainer
Creative Co-Pilot
Senior brand + marketing brain in your business with as much hands-on support as you need.
Your business has reached the point where marketing matters too much to keep being reactive.
But maybe you don't need (or want) a full-time senior marketer, strategist, creative director, social person, designer, copywriter and paid specialist sitting on your payroll.
And you definitely don't want to manage six different freelancers yourself (nightmare fuel).
Creative Co-Pilot is Taiyo's ongoing brand + marketing partnership for exactly that.
We work alongside established founders and their teams to understand what the business is trying to achieve, decide what brand + marketing need to do about it, and keep the right work moving.
No fixed channel packages.
No pumping out deliverables because they're on a monthly checklist.
The business priorities drive the marketing, not the other way around.
What can Co-Pilot help with?
Depending on your business and level of support, that might include:
Brand + marketing strategy
90-day planning + prioritisation
Campaigns + launches
Positioning + messaging
Creative direction
Channel strategy
Content + social
Email marketing
Paid social
Website + customer journey
Performance + optimisation
Briefing and directing your existing team or suppliers

Looking for hands-on social media support?
Social Management
Sometimes you don't need someone looking across your entire marketing function.
You know what you need:
Someone good to take social off your plate.
Taiyo works with a select number of established businesses on ongoing social media management — bringing strategy and execution together so your channels don't become another thing sitting on someone's to-do list.
Depending on your scope, that can include strategy, content planning, copywriting, design, Reels/content, scheduling, optimisation and reporting.
From $1,500 + GST/month.
Strategy Sprint
Sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes on a problem to find the solution.
Bring us one brand or marketing problem.
Maybe it's a launch.
An offer.
Your positioning.
A campaign.
A channel decision.
Something that isn't working.
Or seventeen ideas you can't decide between.
We'll spend 90 minutes getting underneath it, challenging the assumptions and working out what we'd prioritise next.
You then get a detailed action plan after the call.
Best for: Founders who need clarity before investing more time or money into marketing.
The result? A clear next move instead of another month of thinking about it.
90 minutes / $350 + GST.
