THE PROBLEM

KAUZA had the work but not the wrapper. A consultancy doing eight-figure deals was losing pitches to worse firms with better websites. Their old site read like a 2016 agency template.

THE APPROACH
  1. 01Defined an editorial voice — long-form, confident, slightly contrarian
  2. 02Built a custom wordmark with a serif-to-sans weight transition
  3. 03Designed the site as a magazine: masthead, features, archive
  4. 04Typography-first, no stock photography, zero gradients
DELIVERABLES
  • Custom wordmark + full type system
  • Brand guidelines (PDF
  • 62pp)
  • Editorial website (8 templates
  • 4 case study layouts)
  • Pitch deck + proposal system
OUTCOME

The rebrand shipped in Q4 2024. Qualified inbound nearly tripled in the next quarter. Three of their largest-ever clients cited the site as the reason they reached out.

We didn't want a new logo. We wanted a new posture. That's what they delivered.
