Turtle Labs Studio

Services

Build, show, and grow your brand.

Most projects need two or three of them, never all 10. Start where the problem is and stop where it is solved. Each one says what it involves and, more usefully, when it is not the right one.

Brand

Build it, or rebuild it, so the business is understood rather than explained.

One-time projects, scoped and quoted per brief.

01

Brand strategy and positioning

Work out what you actually stand for, in words your team can repeat.

Most brands are not unclear because nobody wrote it down. They are unclear because what was written down was true of any competitor. We find the part that is only true of you, and make it specific enough to decide with.

  • Market and competitor mapping
  • Positioning and proposition
  • Naming and verbal identity
  • Messaging your team can use

Right when: two people in your company describe the business differently.

02

Identity and design systems

A brand that still holds together at ten times the size.

A logo is the smallest part of this. What matters is the system underneath: type, colour, layout, photography and the rules that let someone who has never met us make something that still looks like you.

  • Logo and mark
  • Type and colour systems
  • Guidelines built for people who are not designers
  • Packaging and print

Right when: every new asset needs a designer to look correct.

09

Packaging and print

The part of the brand a customer actually holds.

Structural packaging and print collateral, designed to use less rather than to say it uses less. Sustainability is in the structure and the material, not stapled to the front as a claim, because the claim is the first thing a buyer discounts.

  • Structural packaging design
  • Print collateral and point of sale
  • Material and finish specification
  • Artwork ready for the printer

Right when: the product is good and the box is doing it no favours.

Digital

The website and the products behind it, built light and built to be found.

One-time projects, scoped and quoted per brief.

03

Websites and digital systems

Fast, findable, and built to convert rather than to win awards.

Sites engineered for sub-second loads and honest journeys. Light pages are better for the reader, better for search and better for the planet, and none of those are in tension with selling.

  • Design and build
  • Performance and accessibility
  • Search and analytics
  • AI assistants and workflow automation

Right when: your site is where interest goes to cool down.

Advertising

Attention you pay for and attention you earn, measured against what it returns.

Run as a campaign, or on a monthly retainer.

06

Performance marketing

Paid media run against a cost per qualified lead, not impressions.

Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns measured on what a qualified lead costs rather than on how many people saw it. Landing pages, audiences and creative are tested in pairs, spend follows what wins, and you get the working file rather than a slide about it.

  • Paid search, social and LinkedIn
  • Landing pages built to test
  • Audience and creative testing in pairs
  • Attribution back to qualified leads

Right when: you are spending on ads and cannot say what a lead costs.

08

PR, media and talent

Coverage and endorsements that read as true rather than bought.

Press and media relations, launch coverage, celebrity and talent integration, and influencer and creator partnerships. The work that decides whether an endorsement lands is the brand-fit work before it, so that comes first. Contracting, usage rights and deliverables are handled end to end.

  • Press and media relations
  • Launch and announcement coverage
  • Talent, celebrity and creator partnerships
  • Contracting, usage rights and delivery

Right when: the product is ready and nobody outside the company knows.

Creative

The work that carries the message: film, motion, and the long documents.

Per project, or a standing creative team on a retainer.

04

Film, motion and campaigns

The work people actually remember afterwards.

Brand films, product films, motion systems and the campaign that carries them. Made to be watched to the end, which is a higher bar than made to be posted.

  • Brand and product film
  • Motion and animation
  • Campaign art direction
  • Photography direction

Right when: you can describe the business but nobody feels anything.

10

Editorial design

Long documents people finish rather than file.

Reports, catalogues and publications with a layout system behind them, so a hundred pages stay readable and a second edition does not have to be rebuilt. Designed to be read, kept and passed on, which is a different brief from designed to look impressive.

  • Layout systems for long documents
  • Annual reports and catalogues
  • Publication and editorial design
  • Templates your team can extend

Right when: the content is strong and nobody reads past page four.

Growth

The part that compounds. Content, search and social, run every month rather than at launch.

A monthly retainer, measured against a target.

05

Digital marketing

Campaigns and content that run every week, not just at launch.

Full-funnel campaigns, social content systems and an always-on calendar, built to convert and measured monthly. The point of the calendar is that the brand keeps talking after the launch budget has gone, which is when most of the buying actually happens.

  • Campaign planning and creative
  • Social content systems
  • Always-on content calendars
  • Monthly measurement against a target

Right when: the launch went well and then six quiet months followed.

Ways to work

A project, or a team you keep

Most brands start with a project. The ones who keep shipping end up on a retainer, because the work does not stop when the launch does.

Project Brand identity Strategy, naming, identity and the system that holds it together.
  • Positioning and messaging
  • Identity and design systems
  • Guidelines your team can use
Project Digital outreach Websites, ecommerce and the digital products behind them.
  • Websites and ecommerce
  • Web applications
  • Built light, and built to be found
Project Campaign launch Launches and campaigns, from the idea to the media that carries it.
  • Campaign strategy and concept
  • Launch and always-on
  • Paid media against a cost per lead
Project Creative positioning Content, packaging, film, motion and the printed work.
  • Film, motion and photography
  • Packaging and print
  • Editorial and long documents

Projects are scoped and quoted per brief. A naming job and a full identity are not the same size, so there is no "from" on them worth printing.

Or keep the team on retainer

Marketing retainer From Rs 25,000 a month

Campaigns, content and search, run every month rather than at launch.

  • Content and social, on a calendar
  • Search and paid media
  • Measured monthly against a target
Creative partner From Rs 45,000 a month

A standing creative team for the work that keeps arriving.

  • Design and creative across the month
  • Priority on turnaround
  • One team who already know the brand
Studio partner From Rs 75,000 a month

Brand, digital and campaigns under one agreement, planned a quarter ahead.

  • Everything the creative partner covers
  • Strategy and quarterly planning
  • Brand, digital and campaign in one place

Monthly, and you can stop. Prices are in rupees and are what you pay; we are not registered for GST, so nothing is added. Advertising media spend is separate and is paid to the platform, not to us.

Not sure which of these you need?

Say what is not working and we will tell you which one it is, including if the answer is none of them.

Brand Strategy Workbook · Free

Before you write to us

The five questions that arrive with every brief, answered.

Ten disciplines, from brand strategy through to packaging and film. Most projects use two or three of them. The services page says what each one involves and, more usefully, when it is not the right one.

See the ten

Projects are quoted per brief, because a name and a full identity are not the same size of job and a number here would be invented. Retainers have a floor and it is published: marketing, creative partner and studio partner.

See the floors

A positioning sprint is weeks. An identity is a couple of months. A website depends almost entirely on how ready the content is, which is the part most people underestimate.

How a project runs

Probably, and the sectors list says where the research is already done. It does not mean we only work in those; it means the first three weeks are faster if you are in one.
