Services and delivery

New York and San Francisco offices are listed on the LinkedIn company page linked from the official website. The New York listing is used for this profile; delivery location should be confirmed.

Start with a written decision brief covering the business problem, customer groups and assets already in use. Request separate milestones for research, positioning, identity and rollout, with a named decision-maker at each stage. For large ranges, ask for representative category testing before approving all adaptations. Confirm artwork ownership, font and image licences, implementation partners and support after handover. Fees, capacity and timelines require a direct proposal; no standard commercial terms were established in the reviewed material.

Brand strategy

The Brand Refresh programme includes positioning, narrative and messaging. Buyers should identify the commercial problem first, then agree what research will distinguish a positioning issue from problems with the product, distribution or customer experience.

Published work: Target: up&up brand and packaging system

COLLINS describes working with Target's team on a design system for up&up, combining a shared logotype with category-specific colours and navigation. The case study also records occupational therapist input into packaging usability. This is a concrete example of balancing range consistency with different shopping contexts. The agency's reported preference and commercial figures have not been independently verified for this listing.

Fit and limitations

Programme pages describe intended benefits and selected past outcomes, not guaranteed results. A successful identity case study does not establish expertise in every category or confirm that production, media buying or ongoing implementation is included in a new engagement.

Pricing and engagement

No verified retainer or rate is recorded in this profile. Ask for a scope-specific quote, including the billing currency, taxes, media spend, production costs and any local delivery partners.

Agree the named team, approval responsibilities, reporting timetable, usage rights and handover before commissioning work. These are procurement considerations, not confirmed contract terms.
