Align Your Brand Strategy Before You Invest

Brand Constellations LLC provides structured brand planning consulting to help startups and growth companies develop focused brand strategies before marketing investments.

With our flagship 12-week consulting engagement and the Brand Constellations Framework, we guide clients through a proven process to define their brand, align their teams, and achieve sustainable growth.

Why Brand Planning Comes Before Marketing

A lot of firms jump straight into marketing activities—ads, websites, campaigns—before defining a clear brand strategy. The result? Wasted spend, inconsistent messaging, and weak positioning.

Good-looking marketing without a strategic brand plan might not connect with your audience or help you reach your business goals. Brand planning ensures all brand dimensions reinforce your identity and value in the market.

The Brand Constellations Framework solves this by structuring your brand around eight essential dimensions: Product, Placement, Price, Promotion, Category, Competitors, Company, and Customers.

Together, these dimensions form a constellation of meaning that guides every decision—from how you speak to who you serve.

What Is Brand Planning Consulting?

Brand planning consulting supports the work that comes before marketing execution. It defines the strategic foundation your business needs to attract, convert, and keep the right customers.

Brand Constellations offers a 12-week brand planning program providing startups and growing companies with a comprehensive, research-backed brand strategy.
