How We Work

Strategic. Nimble. Hands-on.

We bring process and partnership without the overhead.

  • 1. Discovery + Goals
    We start by understanding your business objectives, audience segments, brand voice and design, and current landscape. This phase may include audits, stakeholder interviews, and analytics reviews.
    Without intent and organization, content can be noisy.

    2. Content Audit + Gap Analysis
    We assess your existing creative and content for performance, tone, structure, and SEO. Then, we identify gaps in messaging, experience, and user journey coverage.
    Auditing reveals what’s working, and what’s missing.

    3. Strategy Development
    We craft a tailored content strategy that defines messaging pillars, target personas, channel mix, tone of voice, and SEO targets. We may also map out a content calendar or modular content plan.
    Strategy aligns content efforts with business growth and brand cohesion.

    4. Content Creation + Optimization
    We create and oversee the development of high-impact content: web copy, blog posts, thought leadership, product messaging, optimized for users and search engines.
    Great strategy is meaningless without execution.

    5. Performance + Iteration
    After launch, we track content performance (traffic, engagement, conversions, etc.), and use those insights to refine and improve over time.
    Content should be a living, evolving asset – not a one-and-done deliverable.

  • We know that a company’s success depends on consistent execution across all channels – digital, print, social, and experiential. That’s why we offer flexible, retainer-based support for ongoing maintenance that evolves with you.

    HOW WE CAN SUPPORT

    1. Strategic Planning + Prioritization
    We begin each quarter or sprint with alignment: reviewing business goals, marketing calendars, and opportunities across touchpoints. This allows us to identify quick wins and longer-term efforts.
    Keeps work focused, proactive, and in sync with your internal teams.

    2. Channel-Based Execution
    Whether it's social assets, landing pages, email campaigns, pitch decks, signage, or print collateral—we get it done. You’ll have direct access to a creative partner who can deliver high-quality work quickly and efficiently.
    Keeps your brand consistent, cohesive, and always moving forward.

    3. Feedback Loops + Collaboration
    We work like an extension of your team—open to feedback, responsive to timelines, and able to pivot as needed. We offer working sessions, async reviews, or creative check-ins to keep things fluid and effective.
    Helps internal stakeholders stay aligned and keeps momentum strong.

    4. Reporting + Insight Sharing
    We periodically review performance (where applicable) and share observations from design, content, and customer interactions. This input helps refine strategy and execution in future cycles.
    Turns execution into learning – so every piece of work builds value.

    5. Flexibility for Growth
    Need more hands on deck during a product launch? Want to scale up for an event push or seasonal campaign? Our retainer model is designed to flex with your bandwidth and priorities.
    Gives you a reliable partner through ups, downs, and growth spurts.

    HOW IT WORKS

  • At B&A, we believe the best outcomes come from close collaboration, clear planning, and the freedom to adapt. Our size is our strength it lets us move fast, pivot smartly, and work seamlessly with your internal teams. We’re both the thinkers and the doers.

    OUR CREATIVE PROCESS

    1. Kickoff + Context Building
    We begin every engagement by understanding your brand, your goals, and your constraints. This includes stakeholder alignment, light discovery, and setting shared definitions of success.
    Lays the foundation for trust and clarity, so we can move quickly without second-guessing.

    2. Lightweight Roadmapping
    Instead of heavy project plans, we map short-term sprints or phases aligned to your priorities. Think of it as a flexible roadmap – not set in stone, but clear enough to guide resources and expectations.
    Gives structure without slowing you down. Helps balance vision and execution.

    3. Sprint-Based Creation
    We work in tight cycles of work, designing, testing, iterating—based on feedback and evolving needs. We’ll recommend quick wins, test creative hypotheses, and move at a pace that matches your business.
    Encourages experimentation, improves speed to market, and allows smarter decisions.

    4. Embedded Collaboration
    We become part of your ecosystem—whether through Slack, shared docs, or regular standups. We manage timelines, contribute ideas, and stay accountable throughout.
    Reduces friction and creates space for transparency and creativity.

    5. Reflect + Refine
    We take time to assess what’s working, what needs adjustment, and where to go next. This could be informal (creative reviews) or more structured (retrospective sessions), depending on your workflow.
    Builds continuous improvement into every engagement—without overcomplicating the process.
