Ironwood Brands | Independent Brand Audit and Growth Consulting

Who we serve

Brand work for operators whose practice is the product.

Three groups of professionals we work with most often. Each one its own business. All facing variations of the same shift: the brand carries more of the work than it used to, and the work has to be visible before the conversation starts.

What we offer

The Audits hand you the findings.

Brand Runway hands you the work.

Diagnose or Build?

The Audit

A complete audit of all eight areas, with everything you need to act on the findings yourself.

The Foundation is for founders and practitioners who need a clear, evidence-based picture of their business and a specific plan for improving it. Every deliverable is produced to be used without any further input from us.

What you receive:

A written report: 25 to 30 pages covering all eight areas with findings, evidence, and recommendations.

A one-page messaging document: your refined description of who you serve and why you, ready to use directly.

A competitor map: where you sit relative to the eight to ten competitors we have profiled, and where the gaps are.

A 90-day improvement plan: our top recommendations in sequence, starting with the highest-impact change first.

A 60-minute live handover session: findings presented, questions answered.

A written action summary: four to six pages of prioritized next steps, within 48 hours of handover.

Delivery: 10 business days from completed intake.

Brand Runway

A defined position, the content to carry it, and a six-month plan.

Brand Runway uses the same eight-area framework as our audits, applied to a different question. The audits tell you what to change. Brand Runway changes it.

What you receive:

Phase A: six focused reports culminating in a defined position

Phase B: five long-form articles, five carousels, five short-form posts, fifteen supporting pieces

A Growth Report and a six-month roadmap

Day-ten refund gate: if the position isn't right, your payment is refunded in full

Delivery: 30 business days, end to end.

Don't see yourself here?

Operating in a corner of one of these professions most outsiders misread?

If your practice sits at the edge of one of these three groups, or your work doesn't fit the standard description of what people in your profession do, we'd want to hear about it. The framework has worked across more variations than the three buckets above suggest.
