Consulting

Hands-on consulting is focused, collaborative work designed to help you think clearly, make confident decisions, and move forward faster. This is where complexity gets untangled and momentum returns.
It is not advisory from a distance. It is active problem solving in real time.

How We See It
There are seasons where the work outpaces the team.
Traditional consulting often falls flat because it stops at conversation. Advice is shared, decks are presented, and insight is offered, but the actual work remains untouched. When consultants stay outside the trench, understanding rarely goes beyond the surface.
That gap is exactly why we built a hands-on approach.
It started when a client walked us through a problem and we said, “Hold on. Show us exactly what you are seeing.” They pulled up the screen, we identified the issue, and instead of explaining what to do later, we opened the tool and made the change together. In that moment, clarity replaced speculation and progress happened immediately.
Hands-on consulting exists to remove distance between insight and action.

Our Capabilities
When it comes to branding, here’s what we can bring to the table.
Our Approach
We have built a way to deliver powerful brand experiences in ten days or less without cutting corners.
Everything we do at Tandem follows a done-with-you model. We work alongside you to think through the problem and address it directly. The goal is clarity you can act on immediately.
Each session starts with defining the real issue at hand. From there, we work through options, constraints, and implications until decisions feel grounded and next steps are clear.
The pace is focused, responsive, and shaped by what shows up in the work.
We host sessions in:
90-minute increments
Half-day sessions
Full-day sessions
Retreats
By the end, you walk away with:
Clear decisions and direction
Reduced mental load
Defined next steps
Greater confidence in the path forward
Momentum instead of overwhelm
Hands-on consulting with Tandem is designed to move the work forward, not prolong the conversation.
Everything we do at Tandem follows a done-with-you model. This removes the endless back and forth and timeline bloat most branding projects suffer from while keeping clarity and purpose as the standard.
Every brand project starts by getting clear. We define what matters before anything is designed. From there, we move into concepts. Most teams land on a design direction in three rounds or less. Once a direction is chosen, we shift into production design and build the tools that keep your brand consistent and usable long after the project ends.
By the end, you walk away with:
-
Brand strategy
-
Brand guide Asset files including logos, sub logos, colors, fonts, and textures
-
Your VOYAGE statement
-
Vocabulary guardrails
-
Brand voice decision tree
