# Brandesis > Brand strategy, design and marketing in Botswana Brandesis is a brand strategy agency based in Maun, Botswana, working remotely since 2021. Brand strategy, content, websites and distribution run as one pipeline rather than four products. Every price is published on the plans page, and the paid entry point is the Brand Diagnostic. Generated from the same answer set the site's own Ask panel uses, so what is written here is what a visitor is told. ## Answers ### Every price is published on the plans page. Asked as: how much does a project cost; what do you charge; pricing; how much is it. Nothing is quoted before it is scoped, so the figure depends on what the work turns out to be. If you are not sure which door you need, start with the Brand Diagnostic: one session, a written read of where your brand stands, P 7,500, credited in full against anything you book within ninety days. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) ### The Brand Diagnostic is the front door, at P 7,500. Asked as: what is the brand diagnostic; brand diagnostic; diagnostic; where do i start. One session with our strategists and a written read of where your brand stands: your position, the evidence behind it, and the one thing holding growth back. You leave with a one page verdict, and the fee is credited in full against any Sprint, Discovery or Build you book within ninety days. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) ### Discovery gives you your Brand Heart and your Brand Roadmap. Asked as: what do we get out of discovery; what is discovery; discovery; what does discovery produce. Three weeks inside your brand on a fixed scope: who it is for, what it must say, and what gets built in what order over the next two quarters, with a number against each move. You own the Roadmap outright, whether or not you ever buy another thing from us. - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) - [Brand Strategy](https://brandesis.com/services/brand-strategy/) ### Sign within sixty days and you pay only the difference. Asked as: how does the discovery credit work; is discovery refunded; credit; do i get the fee back. Continue into a standalone Sprint instead and half the Discovery fee counts toward it. The expiry date is printed on your handover document, and one thirty day extension is granted on written request before it expires. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) ### Only before the Brand Growth Program. Asked as: is discovery required; do we have to do discovery; can we skip discovery; do i need a strategy first. Nobody can run a brand against a Roadmap that does not exist, so the Program is gated on it. Standalone Sprints open with a positioning check instead, which is included in the Sprint price. - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) ### The strategy, almost always. Asked as: should we start with the website or the strategy; website first or brand first; do we need a brand strategy first; website or branding first. A website is the most expensive place to discover you have not decided what you stand for. Discovery produces the Roadmap the site is then built to, which is why it is the entry point rather than an upsell. - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) - [Website Design](https://brandesis.com/services/website-design/) ### Discovery is three weeks, and the Sprints that follow run four to eight. Asked as: how long does a project take; timeline; how long; turnaround. The Roadmap decides what gets built and in what order, so the total depends on how much the brand needs to change. Every engagement carries its window on the plans page before you commit to it. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) ### Yes, and we have worked fully remotely since 2021. Asked as: do you work with clients outside botswana; are you international; do you work remotely; where are you based. Our clients span tourism, education and professional services across several countries. Where you are has never decided who we take on. - [About Brandesis](https://brandesis.com/about/) - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/) ### Maun, Botswana, and remote since 2021. Asked as: where are you; what is your address; are you in gaborone; are you in maun. The work travels well: most of it is done wherever the client is, and the calls happen on the client's clock. Write to team@brandesis.com or call +267 74 050 803. - [Contact](https://brandesis.com/contact/) - [About Brandesis](https://brandesis.com/about/) ### Brand strategy, content, websites and distribution, in that order. Asked as: what do you do; what services do you offer; services; what can you help with. They are one pipeline rather than four products: each stage only works once the one before it is decided. Search and AI visibility run as a module inside the website and distribution work, not as a separate product. - [Services](https://brandesis.com/services/) - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) ### The Program runs your brand against its Roadmap, month after month. Asked as: what is the brand growth program; brand growth program; retainer; do you do monthly work. Strategy, content, the site and distribution are deployed as each quarter demands, and the quarterly review is where the Roadmap earns its keep or gets rewritten. Entry requires Discovery, because there is nothing to run against otherwise. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/) ### The Build is Discovery, the website, launch content and first distribution in one engagement. Asked as: what is the build; the build; can you do everything at once; full project. One owner, one window, one number. It is the route for a brand that would rather move once than in four separate steps. - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/) - [Services](https://brandesis.com/services/) ### Yes, and it is built in from the start rather than added after. Asked as: do you do seo; aeo; will the site rank; will ai tools cite us. Structured data, content designed to rank in search and be quoted by AI answer engines, and analytics wired to the questions that matter. Khwai Expeditions Camp went from thirty seven ranking keywords to one thousand seven hundred on that discipline. - [Website Design](https://brandesis.com/services/website-design/) - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/) ### Yes, and launch ends with handover and training. Asked as: can our team run the site; who maintains the website; will we be dependent on you; handover. The site is built fast, accessible and mobile first on a stack your team can run. A dependency is not a deliverable. - [Website Design](https://brandesis.com/services/website-design/) ### Your team can, and the Sprint is built so they can. Asked as: who creates the content; do you write the content; who makes the content afterwards; copywriting. It hands over themes, a calendar and a measurement approach designed to be run without us. When you would rather we made it, copy, design and video run as capabilities inside a Build or the Program. - [Content Strategy](https://brandesis.com/services/content-strategy/) ### Measurement is decided before a word is written. Asked as: how will we know it worked; how do you measure; reporting; what do the reports show. What success looks like is a named deliverable rather than an afterthought, and someone is accountable for the numbers week to week. The report says what we stopped as well as what we ran. - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/) - [Content Strategy](https://brandesis.com/services/content-strategy/) ### Tourism and hospitality, agriculture, financial services, property, retail, technology, infrastructure and education. Asked as: what industries do you work in; do you work with lodges; tourism; who are your clients. The method does not change by sector, but the evidence does, so each industry page carries the work we have actually done there. If your sector is not listed, the answer is still probably yes. - [Industries](https://brandesis.com/industries/) - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/) ### Every case study is on the work page, with the numbers behind it. Asked as: can i see your work; case studies; portfolio; examples. They carry real figures from the client's own analytics rather than claims, and each one says what was tried and what was dropped. Khwai, SKL and Wild For Game are the fullest. - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/) ### Sixteen books, a weekly letter and a brand library of 5,947 terms, all free. Asked as: do you have free resources; ebooks; guides; downloads. The books cost an email address and nothing else. Ground Truth is the letter, and the Brand Library is open to anyone with no gate at all. - [Resources](https://brandesis.com/resources/) - [Brand Library](https://brandesis.com/terms/) ### Tell us what you are building, and it takes about ninety seconds. Asked as: how do i get in touch; contact; book a call; talk to someone. The contact page asks what is stuck, what it is costing you and what you think fixes it, so the first call starts somewhere useful. You can also write to team@brandesis.com or call +267 74 050 803. - [Contact](https://brandesis.com/contact/) ### Whatever is open is on the careers page. Asked as: do you have jobs; are you hiring; careers; can i work for you. We are small and we hire rarely, so the honest answer is that there is usually nothing advertised. The careers page says what there is, and how to reach us if you want to be remembered when something opens. - [Careers](https://brandesis.com/careers/) ### Press and partnerships go straight to Tumisang. Asked as: press enquiry; media enquiry; i am writing an article; can i interview you. The press page has the mark, the facts and who to quote. For anything with a deadline, say so and it moves to the top; for a partnership, tell us what you are proposing rather than asking for a call first. - [Press](https://brandesis.com/press/) - [Contact](https://brandesis.com/contact/) ## Key pages - [Services](https://brandesis.com/services/): The four pillars and how they run as one pipeline - [Plans and pricing](https://brandesis.com/plans/): Every published price, including the Brand Diagnostic - [How we work](https://brandesis.com/how-we-work/): Discovery, the Roadmap, delivery and the Program - [Our work](https://brandesis.com/work/): Case studies with the client numbers behind them - [Industries](https://brandesis.com/industries/): The sectors we have shipped work in - [Resources](https://brandesis.com/resources/): Free books, the Ground Truth letter and the Brand Library - [Brand Library](https://brandesis.com/terms/): Nearly six thousand defined brand and marketing terms - [Stories](https://brandesis.com/stories/): The blog - [About](https://brandesis.com/about/): Who Brandesis is - [Contact](https://brandesis.com/contact/): Start a project, ask a question, or press
