Strategy:

Clarity before contact. Strategy before pressure.

Continued success doesn’t happen by accident. It takes insight, focus, and a disciplined plan to win; in the market and in the minds of your audience. Our strategy engagements give you the foundation to move with precision, making every creative choice intentional and every investment count.

What This Engagement Delivers:
- A clear picture of your current position, audience, and competitive landscape.
- A sharp articulation of your brand’s point of view, purpose, and philosophies.
- A roadmap that keeps teams, messaging, design, and campaigns on the same page.
- Confidence to make bold, market-moving decisions backed by insight.

Why It Matters:
Without strategy, brand decisions get driven by preference and guesswork. Strategy aligns your team, directs your creative partners, and ensures you spend less time fixing and more time building.

Build your brand’s fight plan before you step in the ring.

Naming:

- Linguistic and cultural checks to avoid pitfalls and misunderstandings.

Pre-Roll Check:

Make sure everyone understands the rules of engagement.

Proper brand work is like preparing for competition. You don’t just show up and start swinging, You study the competition, strengthen your weaknesses, and collaborate with specialized experts to ensure you’re ready for what’s ahead. Before we dive into design, and naming, we first check alignment with a quick but essential Pre-Brand Screening.

What the Pre-Brand Screening Is:
A short, structured session to make sure your foundation is stable. We’ll clarify:
- Where your brand stands today.
- What goals you’re aiming for.
- If the chosen engagement is the right fit.
- What gaps might need addressing before we move forward.

Why It Matters:
The wrong position at the start leads to wasted time and sloppy outcomes. The Pre-Brand Screening ensures that your investment is focused, effective, and built to stick.

Who Needs It:
- Businesses considering one of our standalone Naming or Identity engagements.
- Teams unsure which package fits best.
- Leaders who want confidence before committing.

Take the first step with clarity. Book your Pre-Brand Screening today.

Before You Step On The Mats:

Branding isn't just about looking good. It's about building a business presence that moves with purpose, performs under pressure, and lasts longer than a trend.If you’re thinking about investing in branding, this page is designed to help you make the most informed, no-BS decision possible.

Here's What You Should Know First:
1. Your brand is more than your logo.
Logos are important, but a great brand starts long before the design. We focus first on clarity—who you serve, why it matters, and how you position yourself.

2. You may not need everything.
Not every business needs a full rebrand. Sometimes, a focused sprint or clear name is all it takes to create momentum. We assess what's needed and skip what's not.

3. If you don’t know your customer, we won’t guess.
Good branding reflects your customers' reality. If you're unclear on who you're really serving, we’ll start there.

4. This isn’t order-taking. It’s problem-solving.
Our work is collaborative. I won’t just take a request and deliver it at face value—I’ll help guide you toward what will actually move the needle. If you’re looking for a partner who challenges assumptions and builds lasting solutions, you’re in the right place.

5. We always begin with a short fit call.
Every engagement starts with a quick 20-minute call. We discuss what you think you need, what your timeline looks like, and where your brand stands today. No hard sells. Just clarity.

You're Ready for This If:
- You have an offer that works or is nearly ready.
- You want your brand to grow with you, not hold you back.
- You’re tired of DIY or disjointed brand assetsYou value expertise and collaboration.

In Their Corner:

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say about working with us.
"...Engaging with Ian means collaborating with a visionary, a strategist who is consistently at the forefront of branding's evolution. Should the opportunity to work with Ian present itself, I highly recommend seizing it. You'll be partnering with a leader who is not only at the pinnacle of his profession but also shaping the future of brand engagement and success."

Wes H.,
Founder and Brand Strategy Consultant
“I am incredibly impressed with The Truth Quarry’s work on my rebranding project. Ian truly understood my vision and translated it into a compelling brand identity that resonated with my target audience. Ian was professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I highly recommend his services to any business looking to elevate their brand. Also, rebranding doubled my sales last year.”

Livia P.,
Operations, Kevin's Landscaping
“Working with Ian was great! Our project was very complex in terms of stakeholders and he did a great job guiding us through the decision-making process and distilling down multiple points of feedback and opinions. The end product was fantastic and more than we could have even hoped for.”

Christine L.,
Manager, Youth Invest Partners
“Ian brought my vision for my company to life by building a complete branding and marketing strategy from scratch.  I had always struggled to differentiate myself from the competitors as I offer a niche service in an otherwise very generic and outdated market.  I knew there was always massive opportunity but the biggest obstacle was getting my branding in front of the right customers and I have finally achieved this thanks to Ian!”

Kevin K.,
Owner, Kevin's Landscaping

Frequently Asked Questions:

Find answers to some of the common questions about our services and solutions.
Can I hire you for just a logo or just a name?

Yes—with conditions. Every project starts with a quick Pre-Brand Screening to make sure we’re not skipping the work that makes it succeed. If your foundation is solid, we’ll get to work. If not, I’ll point you in the right direction.

Do you offer payment plans?

For most packages, yes. I typically break it down into 2 or 3 payments across the project timeline. If budget is a concern, we’ll talk about scope and timeline first.

What if I’m not sure what I need?

That’s what the Touch Gloves session is for. We’ll sort out what’s really needed and what’s not.

Will I get files I can actually use?

Absolutely. You’ll walk away with all final brand assets, guidance docs, and editable files. No locked PDFs or mystery folders.

Aren't Marketing and Branding the same thing?

Marketing is the fight. Branding is the training camp. One executes. The other prepares you to perform.

Do you do websites or social media?

Not directly—but I make them work better.


I focus on the strategy, identity, and messaging that give those channels real impact. When needed, I collaborate with trusted partners and provide direction, visuals, or referrals to keep everything on-brand.
