The Client

Bryan Starck built Customer Conversations — an AI that interviews ecommerce customers by phone. Real conversations, not surveys. The system delivers structured intelligence back to the brand — what customers actually think, not what they checked in a rating. Completion rates running 10–20× higher than surveys.

The Problem

How do you brand a product nobody has a reference point for? Bryan had no brand, no site, no positioning. Every sales conversation started from scratch — half of every first call was Bryan explaining what the product wasn't: not surveys, not NPS, not Gong, not a research agency. A buyer who needs five negations before they can place a product is a buyer you'll lose to anything simpler.

The Decision

Strategy. We positioned Customer Conversations against surveys specifically — the closest mental reference point and the category with the weakest results. Leading with '10–20× higher completion than surveys' made the product instantly gradeable. Not 'a new category you have to learn' — 'the thing surveys were supposed to be.'

What we rejected. A 'customer intelligence platform' positioning that tried to be category-agnostic. Too abstract for a cold pitch. We went narrow on purpose — surveys are a concrete enemy prospects already distrust.

The System

  • Brand strategy — positioning against surveys, messaging ladder

  • Logo and full brand identity — wordmark, typography, color, iconography

  • Website (homepage + supporting pages) — metric-led, explainer-structured

  • Verbal identity and voice — written to sound like a research partner, not software marketing

The Impact

  • 10–20× higher completion rate than surveys — the underlying product metric, now visible as the hero claim

What they said

Logo, full brand identity, and home page design for my new startup. The whole experience was fast and seamless from start to finish.
