Description
A brand strategy presentation delivered as a fully worked case study rather than an empty shell, so you can see the thinking before you rebuild it around your own client. M&L Brand Strategy is a 26-page document in Adobe InDesign, designed by Louis Garella, whose Studio Garella has worked with Hermès, Mugler, Puma, and Louis Roederer.
The document works through a complete engagement using a fictional ready-to-wear label as its worked example: discovery and methodology, the findings that follow, audience and cultural context, the brand challenge, a strategic opportunity, positioning, primary message, key differences, the brand idea, mission and vision, brand pillars, personality, voice and tone, a manifesto, and a closing set of next steps. Nineteen content sections in all, each built so you replace the example thinking with your own.
Pages are designed at 1920×1080 pixels (16:9) for presenting to clients and stakeholders, and every element is editable in Adobe InDesign so the system carries your own typography, colour, and language. The layout system runs to roughly a dozen distinct page architectures, oversized serif section titles, hand-drawn containers, monospaced navigation, and generous white space, so the document doubles as a layout library as much as a strategy framework, with several image and quote spreads left open for pacing.
It pairs with the M&L Media Kit, its companion studio capabilities document, the two sharing one design system across strategy and presentation. Both come from Studio Standard, where every collection is built to the standard expected when your strategy is the thing the client is paying for.
