who we are?
When you started out looking for a
branding/marketing solution for your business, you probably came across all
sorts of firms who claim to offer such services.
Some of these companies have real misconceptions about branding, some
know what they are talking about, but they have conflicting interests,
and some get too scientific about a field that is actually more art
than science. Yet others think branding is an activity under
'marketing' with some creative spicing. They have a common denominator
though, what they know and do best is a subset of branding, not a
superset.
We simply build the kind of custom creative collaboration you need, as most notably applied in Hollywood.
- Focus on branding with a unique virtual agency model.
We know about your challenges and needs. Even when you think your business is healthy, branding can still bring in extra gains, without the pain. Most companies in our line of work, however, focus only on Fortune 500 and other big shots with fat budgets.
- Upfront and transparent pricing. It is truly a hurdle to get even a ballpark idea about how much it would cost you to hire any company in creative services businesses. The main reason firms avoid providing upfront information is to be able to charge you as much as possible based on the funds you have available, not based on what they are doing. This simply is not fair. Our upfront and transparent pricing policy will provide a realistic idea about your in-depth needs, give you the ability to foresee and control your costs, and make budgeting and financing decisions easier.
- Best use of technology to minimize your costs. We use the latest technologies that enable virtual meetings that are sometimes even more convenient and efficient than face-to-face, with of course significant reductions in costs. Technology also enables us to manage diverse teams more efficiently, while involving you in the process as much as you want to.
- Designers educated in Europe. Most of our designers had their undergraduate education in France, Italy, and Turkey, the three countries world-renown for their excellence particularly in design and communication arts. But it is their experience and further training in the US -home of world's greatest brands, that has sharpened their view of the world, perfected their styles, and upgraded their skills from 'le artiste' to 'le brandeur'. When you look at the samples of their work, you'll immediately realize the difference.
- Complimentary Diagnostic Tool™ and follow-up consultation. Entrepreneurs in spirit ourselves, we know the challenges you are facing and we do care about you. And we deem it our responsibility to give back to society by helping businesses start on the right foot and make the right moves.
- Support K-12 education by providing pro bono services. All of us at Virtual Protein are committed to helping build better schools for our kids. In addition to our portfolio of great work for our clients, we also strive to support K-12 schools by providing pro bono services.

There are many differences between a strategic branding consultancy and the rest and many questions you need to ask before you hire one. Do they offer brand strategy services? Who is your point of contact, a partner, a sales representative, or a graphic designer? What can they tell you about their creative styles? Do they seem to be preoccupied or motivated? When you ask about their processes, are they forthcoming? Can they explain in detail the steps they will take to create your brand? You get the point...
