The most important of your project starts before design: strategy

Every unsatisfied founder that’s walked through our door tells us the same story. They hired a creative, none of the designs were quite right, and they felt like they somehow ended up doing the designer’s job. The common denominator? None of those owners were presented with a visual strategy and clear framework for execution.

This is why we offer Free Brand Strategy Sessions, followed by a Brand Blueprint of your choice.

The free brand strategy session

If you had a free hour to ask a creative who’s done every job under the sun over the last 15 years, what would you want to know?

The Free Brand Strategy Session is your opportunity. We talk about your business, your goals, what’s bugging you, and what you’ve already got. You get a straight read on where your brand is and what to do next, using our proprietary holistic branding and marketing framework. You can take the results of your audit and hire anyone you like.

The Brand Blueprint

Visual Identity Strategy and/or Holistic Marketing Execution

A Visual Brand Blueprint is a mood board curated for your branding or marketing project goals, designed to give you the exact vibe we want to go for, for every element of your project, all before we ever touch a single design. Feel confident in our direction before ever paying for strict design work, much less costly revisions.

$420 + HST

A Marketing Blueprint is a strategy deck that names what’s strong, what’s weak, what to fix, in what order, how to do it, and what it will cost.

$420 + HST

We don’t start designing until you approve the direction. If your Blueprint doesn’t capture who you are and how you want your clients to see you, we rework it until it does, at no extra cost. That’s our job, and we do it properly before a single design is drawn.

Dasha and her team did a great job rebranding my business. She was able to understand my vision and values and come up with beautiful assets and a new logo. She worked with me on my new website layout also and rewriting my copy and did a really great job. I really wish I worked with her at the start of my company! Quality and attention to detail is her strength. She always kept on top of the project and making others accountable. She’s really helped me on my journey in more ways than I had thought.

I hired maison zolts to craft my wordpress site and logo. She provided me with a versatile logo that I can easily utilize myself for other ads and promos, and the website is a nice waterfall style that stands out a little more than the plain templates I kept seeing on other sites.

Dasha had worked for our company previously and was always bright, cheerful and extremely professional. Her work speaks for itself, and she always put in the utmost effort in any project we had her take on. We were all very sad to see her go, but I’m glad she was able to find a place in her control, without any creative restrictions. Do yourselves a favor and give her company an opportunity to prove themselves. They do A+ work, are very communicative, and have been nothing but outstanding to work with. They are not happy unless their client is!

We recently hired Maison Zolts to create a branding for our new Social Enterprise Pinata business. We needed something fresh, creative, innovative and fun to attract our customer base to our unique product. Maison Zolts delivered and made the process of branding smooth and engaging. They listened to our needs and also guided us with their expertise. They were able to think out of the box and meet our needs. We can’t wait to launch the website soon! Thank-you Maison Zolts!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dasha from Maison Zolts. She did the full rebrand for my business and I was BLOWN AWAY! I didn't know what to expect but she managed to capture my whole personality in every aspect. From the logo, to the merch she had branded for my business, it all was phenomenal!!! She even created a custom QR code for people to scan that leads them to a page with my contact info and links. Its great if you don't have business cards on hand!! If I could rate Maison Zolts 1 million out 5 stars I would. Again, thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH DASHA! Your hard work and eye for creative flare and detail will take your business to very high and far places. Looking forward to our next project!

We hired Maison ZOLTS to develop a brand for our start up company and we are incredibly glad we did!

Everything was done in a timely manner and with great communication. Absolutely recommended!

Dasha was easy to work with and has produced wonderful artwork and branding for two different projects. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful designer, knowledgeable and friendly.

We used Maison ZOLTS for our complete company rebranding and couldn't be any happier with the results.

She is a force to be reckoned with and will continue to amaze me through hard work and dedication. Her work speaks volumes. If you choose to work with her, you won’t be disappointed. I can honestly say i am proud to own the brand because of her dedication to the brands truth and authenticity

I asked Dasha if I could write a testimonial because I just love working with her so much. She is so emotionally intelligent. When I come to her with stress on a project, she listens, mirrors back what I’m telling her, and then comes up with great ideas. It’s been such a pleasure to go through this creative process with her

Do not hesitate to hire Dasha of Maison Zolts. She will surprise you with her beautifully balanced approach to marketing and branding.
