Studio
What is WonderWild?

A branding and design studio for ambitious brands that are done looking almost right. We live, eat, and breathe branding. It’s the world we’ve lived in for two decades, and it’s a lane we’ll happily stay in. If we aren’t experts in something, we say so up front and bring in someone who is.

Who do you work with?

Mostly consumer-facing, experience-led, and trust-sensitive brands. We partner with new and emerging brands with big plans, and with established brands ready for their next chapter.

What’s your team makeup?

Intentionally lean. We’re not a full-service marketing agency; we’re brand specialists who stay in our lane. Seth Rexilius, founder and creative director, is the primary contact on every project and relationship. That keeps communication simple and skips the context-switching that comes with larger teams. We have a tight network of specialists we bring in as needed. Small but mighty. No fluff.

Process
How do projects usually work?

Put simply: Discover. Define. Design. Deploy. Simple shape, serious thinking.

How long does it take?

It depends on scope, but many branding projects land in the 3–6 month range, and larger brand-plus-web engagements run longer. If we’re starting laser-focused and keeping things simple, a 2- or 4-week brand sprint can get you up and running.

How much does it cost?

The golden question, and the honest answer is “it depends.” Our minimum engagement is typically $10k, with exceptions, and we’re always open to the conversation. Ideally we work through a comprehensive 3–6 month phase, typically in the $15–75k range depending on how deep we go on strategy and research and how far we build the brand out. After the initial scope, many clients keep us on a monthly retainer to evolve the brand with the market, typically $3–8k a month.

Do you offer retainers?

Yes. Some clients bring us in for a project, then keep us close for launches, campaigns, and ongoing brand support.

What do you need from us?

A clear goal, a decision-maker, a workable timeline, and honest input. The best projects combine your business expertise with our branding expertise.

Do you take on smaller projects?

Sometimes. If there’s a smart, focused first move, especially in a space we haven’t done a ton of work in yet, we’re open. Always worth a conversation.

Work
What’s your ideal engagement?

Working with a brand at the root: thoughtful strategy first, then a cohesive, compelling identity system, then helping the brand show up consistently across every physical and digital touchpoint. When we get to work through that full arc, we’re confident we can elevate your brand in ways that reach your bottom line.

What do you actually do?

Brand strategy, identity, messaging, packaging, websites, landing pages, marketing collateral, and rollout support. We like building brand worlds, not random loose ends. If we aren’t world-class at something, we tell you and bring in a strategic partner, so every hand on the project is an expert in its field.

Can you help with one piece only?

Yes, if it’s the right piece. A holistic approach to the full brand is ideal, but a focused, smaller engagement can be a smart place to start.

Do you write copy too?

Yes. We shape positioning, messaging, headlines, and web copy so the words pull their weight and the voice and visuals amplify each other.

What about websites?

We love designing digital experiences and adapt to different platforms. For larger website builds, we lean on a strong network of development partners depending on the business needs.

Who owns the work when it’s done?

You own your brand. Once the project is paid in full, you get full rights to use the final approved work for your business however you need. Copyright typically starts with the creator and is transferred or licensed to the client by contract, so we spell it out clearly in the agreement.

Deliverables
What do we get at project completion?

Whatever the work calls for: strategy documents, logo variations, messaging and narrative frameworks, print-ready packaging, source files for web and social, templates, guidelines, and launch-ready assets.

Will we be able to edit files?

Yes. Final files come packaged for real-world use, not just admiration, including fonts, photos, and supporting design elements, plus guidance on how to use them.

Can you help launch it too?

Absolutely. We love staying involved through rollout, handoff, and the little details that make the work actually land.

Fit
How do we know if we’re a fit?

You see brand work as an investment that needs intentional thought and room for creative exploration. You care about design as more than decoration: you want strategy, taste, and a brand that feels more distinct than “good enough.” You trust us to lead the creative process, and we value your input and feedback. And you’re a good human who values respect, integrity, and enjoying the work.

Do you work with other agencies or in-house teams?

Very well. We play nicely with founders, marketers, other creative agencies, and lean internal teams. Teamwork makes the dream work.

What if we already have a logo or messaging we like?

Great. We don’t bulldoze everything on day one. We can refine what you have, build on it, or help you decide whether it’s time for a deeper rethink.

Getting started
How do we start?

Use the contact form and tell us what you’re building. If it feels like a fit, we’ll set up a discovery call.

What if we still have questions?

Ask away. We’re here to simplify the complex, not build a maze.
