Brand Development for Founders
Brand Development at OG Solutions is a full brand strategy and identity design service for founders in invention or transition.
Created by brand strategist Gina Dunn, the service uses the Spark Method, a four-phase process (Mirror, Fire, Form, Flamekeeper) that takes founders from brand fog to focus in 4-6 weeks. Clients walk away with a complete brand strategy, messaging suite, visual identity, photography style guide, and content application roadmap.
OG Solutions has served 50+ founders across Europe and globally, specializing in founders who are repositioning, relaunching, or stepping into visibility for the first time.
Does this sound like you?
You’re not alone, most founders feel this way before we start working together.
“I’ve tried to DIY my brand, but it still doesn’t feel right.”
You’ve changed colors, rewritten copy, and downloaded a dozen templates, but something’s still off.
“MY MESSAGE DOESN’T SOUND LIKE ME.”
You’ve got words, but they feel flat or borrowed. You’re craving language that actually fits.
“My brand hasn’t caught up with who I’ve become.”
You’ve evolved, but your brand is still wearing its old energy.
“I want to show up, but only if it feels like me.”
You’re done performing. You just want your presence to match your truth.
The Problem
Most founders I work with aren’t starting from zero.
They’ve already built something. Sometimes something good. But the brand doesn’t match the person behind it.
They’re using messaging that sounds like it was written by committee. Or a template. Or an AI that doesn’t know them. The visuals look professional enough, but they could belong to anyone. And every time they show up to sell, pitch, or post, there’s this gap between what they say and what they mean.
That gap costs clients. It costs visibility. And it costs energy, because performing a brand that isn’t yours is exhausting.
The Spark Method
How It Works
Phase One
Mirror (Discovery)
Phase two
Fire (Strategy)
This is where the brand takes shape. Positioning, messaging architecture, voice and tone system, value proposition, differentiators. We build the strategic foundation that every other decision sits on.
Phase three
Form (Identity Design)
Visual identity that carries the strategy. Logo, color system, typography, brand applications, photography style guide. Everything designed to match the voice, not just look pretty.
Optional
Flamekeeper (Activation)
Optional ongoing support. Content application roadmap, launch strategy, visibility planning. This is where the brand goes from document to daily use.

Brand strategy and positioning framework
Who this is for
Founders in transition.
The ones launching a passion project. The ones repositioning after a pivot. The ones relaunching after outgrowing their first brand. The ones who built something successful but can’t articulate why it works. If you know you’re good at what you do but can’t land the words, this is for you.
I’ve worked with founders in life sciences, consulting, L&D, b2b service providers, executive leadership, creative industries, gaming, and tech. The common thread: they want a brand built on truth, not a template.

The Spark Method is OG Solutions' signature brand development process, created by Gina Dunn. It has four phases: Mirror (discovery and signal extraction), Fire (strategy and messaging), Form (visual identity design), and Flamekeeper (optional ongoing activation). Each phase builds on the last to create a brand system rooted in truth, not trends.
No. All work is done remotely in English via Google Meet. Gina works with founders across Europe and globally.
Many clients move into Founder Visibility + Thought Leadership (the Signal Stack) to build on their new brand with PR, LinkedIn strategy, and content systems. Others need a website built: the Web Design + Copy service creates a WordPress site designed around your new brand strategy. Ongoing support is available through Fractional Brand Leadership.
