Last Updated: February 4, 2026 | Stack: Brand.dev (brand.dev) + Claude (claude.ai) | Service type: Instant Brand Kit delivery for startups & agencies
The gap: brand assets exist, but nobody can find or use them
Most startups don't have a "brand problem." They have a brand access problem. The logo is on the website. The colors are in Figma somewhere. The "About" copy was written for a press release in 2022.
- Slack message: "Does anyone have our logo in PNG?"
- Three people send three different files.
- Marketing says "use the one on the website."
- Someone screenshots it. It's 400×200px and blurry.
- By Friday, the pitch deck has a logo that's slightly off-brand and nobody notices until the investor does.
This is the moment you position yourself—not as a designer, but as the person who collects, organizes, and documents what already exists so the team never plays this game again.
Translation: they need a polished brand kit yesterday. Speed wins.
Translation: they need someone to reconstruct the basics from what's publicly visible.
Translation: they need a single, shareable brand kit they can send once and forget.
You're not selling "design." You're selling organization + polish + speed.
Offer shape: "Instant Brand Kit" (24–48 hour delivery)
Logo usage, color swatches, typography, voice notes. Clean enough to share with investors or agencies.
Logo files (light/dark, icon/wordmark), organized by format. Ready to drag into Figma, Canva, or decks.
Taglines, short bio (50 words), long bio (150 words), one-liner for pitch decks. All Claude-polished, human-reviewed.
Notice: no mention of "AI-generated." You're selling a brand kit, not a tech stack.
Extract assets: Brand.dev does the heavy lifting
Brand.dev lets you pass any domain and get back logos, colors, fonts, social links, and company metadata. No scraping. No hunting through source code. Just clean JSON.
import BrandDev from 'brand.dev'; const client = new BrandDev({ apiKey: process.env['BRAND_DEV_API_KEY'] }); // Pull brand data by domain const brand = await client.brand.retrieve({ domain: 'stripe.com' }); console.log(brand.logos); // Array of logo URLs (light/dark, icon/wordmark) console.log(brand.colors); // Array of hex codes with names console.log(brand.fonts); // Typography info console.log(brand.description); // Company description
- Logos: multiple versions (icon, wordmark), light and dark modes, with URLs you can download directly
- Colors: hex codes with friendly names (e.g., "Blue Hepatica" for #655ef3)
- Fonts: typeface names used on the website
- Description & slogan: official copy if available
- Social links: Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Don't just send API URLs to clients. Download the assets and organize them properly.

Rename everything clearly. This is part of the value you're adding.
Check their Twitter/LinkedIn profile images, app store listings, or press kit page. Manually download and include in the kit.
Use a browser extension to eyedrop from their website. Note in your delivery: "Colors extracted from website as of [date]."
Write copy: Claude turns raw data into polished brand language
Most startups either have no tagline or have one that's too vague. Claude can generate options that are specific and memorable.
You're helping me create a brand kit for a company. Company info: - Name: [from Brand.dev] - Description: [from Brand.dev] - Industry: [from Brand.dev] - Website copy excerpt: [paste their homepage headline] Write 5 tagline options that are: - Under 8 words each - Specific to what they actually do (not generic) - Memorable but not gimmicky - Professional enough for a Series A deck For each, add a one-sentence note explaining why it works.
Deliver 2–3 finalists with the kit. Let the client pick or request tweaks.
A short document that says "this is how we sound" is surprisingly rare—and surprisingly valuable.
Based on this company's website copy and description, write a short brand voice guide (1 page max). Include: 1. Voice in 3 words (e.g., "Clear, confident, helpful") 2. Tone spectrum (formal ↔ casual, playful ↔ serious) 3. "We say / We don't say" examples (3 pairs) 4. One sample paragraph in their voice Company info: [paste Brand.dev description + 2-3 paragraphs from their website] Keep it practical. This will be used by copywriters and marketers who need quick guidance.
This is often the most-used part of the kit. Teams reference it constantly.
Every startup needs: a one-liner, a short bio (50 words), and a long bio (150 words). Most have none of these written well.
Write three versions of a company bio for [Company Name]: 1. One-liner (1 sentence, under 15 words) - Use format: "[Company] helps [audience] [benefit]." 2. Short bio (exactly 50 words) - For Twitter, LinkedIn, speaker bios 3. Long bio (exactly 150 words) - For press releases, about pages, pitch decks Company info: [paste Brand.dev description + any website copy] Tone: Match their existing voice (professional/friendly/technical). Avoid: Jargon, buzzwords, "revolutionary," "world-class."
Clients love having copy they can just paste. No more rewriting from scratch.
Claude output is good but not perfect. Reading aloud catches awkward phrasing instantly.
Make sure Claude didn't hallucinate features, claims, or founding dates. Verify everything.

Pricing (realistic ranges, not fantasy)
| Package | What you deliver | Best for | Range (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Brand Kit (Standard) | Logo extraction + color palette + typography notes + brand voice guide (1 page) + copy snippets (one-liner, short bio, long bio) + 2 tagline options. PDF + asset folder. 48-hour delivery. | Startups needing basics fast. Agencies onboarding new clients. | $200 – $500 |
| Brand Kit + Extended Copy | Everything in Standard, plus: expanded voice guide (2 pages), 5 tagline options, pitch deck intro paragraph, press release boilerplate, social media bio variants. | Startups preparing for fundraising or press. | $400 – $900 |
| Bulk / Agency Retainer | 4–8 brand kits per month for an agency. Consistent format, fast turnaround. Volume discount. | Agencies who onboard multiple clients monthly. | $600 – $2,000 / month |
These are ranges, not guarantees. Price depends on complexity, turnaround time, and how much custom copy work is needed. The key is charging for the outcome (a usable brand kit), not the hours or the tools.
If the client wants you to design a new logo, create templates, or write a full messaging guide—that's a different project. Quote separately or refer them to a designer. Don't let scope creep kill your margins.
Finding clients (and what to say)
- Startups that just raised (suddenly everyone wants their logo)
- Agencies onboarding new clients (they need brand assets from Day 1)
- Companies rebranding who need to document the new identity
- Marketing teams inheriting brands with no style guide
- Freelancers starting work with a new client ("send me your brand kit" → silence)
Subject: quick brand kit for [Company] Hey [Name], I help startups who don't have time to dig through Dropbox looking for "the right logo." I pull your brand assets (logos, colors, fonts) from your live site, clean them up, and add a short voice guide + polished copy snippets (bios, taglines, one-liners). You get a single PDF + asset folder you can share with investors, agencies, or new hires—delivered in 48 hours. If you send me your domain, I can show you a preview of what I'd extract before you commit. — [Your name]
The real value you're selling
This isn't about Brand.dev or Claude. It's about giving teams a single source of truth for their brand. No more "which logo is the right one?" No more digging through old Figma files. No more rewriting the company bio from scratch every time someone needs it.
Start with one kit. Deliver it fast. Make it clean. After 3–5 clients, you'll have a repeatable process that takes 2–3 hours per kit—and you can charge $300–500 for each one. That's the kind of "productized service" that actually scales.
