FAQs

  • A brand audit is a deep evaluation of how your brand performs across messaging, design, digital presence, social proof, and competitive positioning. At DLB Creative, we use an AI-powered framework that gives you a clear score, shows where you stand against competitors, and delivers a practical roadmap to grow with confidence.

    Think of it like a health check-up for your brand — only smarter and more actionable.

  • Most businesses look fine on the surface but leak opportunities because their brand isn’t aligned with growth. An audit helps you:

    • Spot blind spots holding you back.

    • Benchmark against competitors.

    • Build confidence for investors, partners, or buyers.

    • Simplify decisions so your team knows what to focus on first.

    If you’ve ever wondered “Why aren’t we standing out?” — that’s where a brand audit pays off.

  • Every audit includes:

    • A Brand Health Score across key categories (messaging, design, web, content, digital).

    • A competitive benchmark (local, national, and global).

    • Clear, color-coded recommendations (Red / Yellow / Green).

    Higher tiers also include:

    • Investor Readiness Score (are you fund/exit-ready?).

    • AI Visibility Index (how well you show up in AI-driven search).

    • Cognitive Fluency Analysis (is your brand easy to process + recall?).

    • Distinctive Asset Review (logos, icons, sonic cues, mascots).

  • A stronger brand means:

    • Higher trust with investors, clients, and employees.

    • Better conversion from marketing + sales efforts.

    • Competitive advantage in crowded markets.

    • Confidence for high-stakes moments (fundraising, M&A, launches).

    Many clients recover the cost of an audit with one improved client win or investor pitch.

  • Yes. We offer a White-Label Audit Program where agencies, PR firms, and consultants can offer our audits under their own brand. You pay a flat subscription + per-audit fee, and we deliver the insights for your clients.

    It’s a way to expand your service offering without adding staff or overhead.
