Ways to Work

Start small or go all the way.

Every engagement runs on the Relay Method. You work directly with the person who builds it.

Who We Work With

Global brandsA sharp partner for a specific job.

You have the brand. You need a launch, campaign, collaboration or partnership strategy from someone who knows how the work gets made inside a global brand.

Growing companies and organizationsOne story your whole team can tell.

You have the mission and the momentum, but not a marketing department. We find the story, build the system that carries it and hand it to your team.

Talent and creatorsPartnerships that pay off.

You have the audience. We build the community around it and structure, negotiate and activate the partnerships that grow it.

Start Here

Fast, focused first steps
2 to 3 hoursBrief Clinic

Bring a real brief. We run the Brief Back, score it and rewrite it with your team, then teach the method so it sticks. You leave with a sharper brief and a better way to write the next one. Start with the free guide.

Half dayBrand Kickoff

A focused start for a launch, campaign, partnership or raise. A short pre-work workbook, then a live session to align on the Three Gaps, the Brand Core and the one-line strategy. You leave with a one-page strategy and a brief ready to hand off.

Questions

Who will I work with?

Kevin Wright, directly. Relay is built so the person who sets the strategy is the person who builds the work.

What do I need to have ready?

Whatever exists today: decks, data, past campaigns, customer stories. The Discovery Workbook fills in the rest before we start.

Can we start small?

Yes. Most clients start with a Brief Clinic or a Brand Kickoff, and the Kickoff fee can be credited toward a full Brand Strategy engagement.

Do you only work in sports and entertainment?

No. The work spans sports, entertainment, music, technology and deep tech. Culture is the edge we bring to every category.

A 20-minute call is the fastest way to know which path fits.
