What kind of businesses does Ankord Media work with?

Ankord Media empowers the voices of innovative minds. We specialize in partnering with startups in tech and the arts, crafting impactful content for product development, branding, marketing, and fundraising. But our passion extends to all industries! We bring our expertise to solopreneurs and small businesses, building websites and personal brands that resonate with their target audience. No matter your size or stage, we're here to help you tell your story and achieve your goals.

How long do projects take to complete?

Crafting impactful content takes time, but we know you're eager to get moving! Project timelines depend on the specifics, size, and complexity. Here's a general roadmap:

  • Brand Sprints: 4-8 weeks of focused strategy and design.
  • Website Design: Plan for 4 weeks of iteration until you love the design and copy.
  • Website Development: A total of 4 weeks until the site is live and optimized.
  • Marketing Campaigns: 4 weeks to craft a targeted strategy and assets.
  • Ghostwriting: We can weave your story in 1-3 weeks.

Launching a whole startup? We can compress the timeline by strategically overlapping phases.Typically, a full launch takes 6 months, but we can be flexible! Just let us know your deadlines, and we'll craft a project plan that accelerates your vision.

Who will be on my Project Team?

At Ankord Media, you get the big-agency expertise without the impersonal feel. We're a tight-knit team, meaning you'll never get shuffled off to a secondary team. Each project is led by a dedicated Project Manager who acts as your guide throughout the process. They'll assemble the perfect team for your needs, drawing on our in-house talent pool of strategists, copywriters, creatives, UX/UI specialists, and web developers. Throughout the project, you'll have regular touchpoints with your Project Manager to share information, gain insights, see our progress, and provide feedback directly. This collaborative approach ensures we're always on the same page and exceeding your expectations.

Do you work by project or off a retainer?

We tailor our engagement to your needs! Most projects begin with clearly defined scopes, ensuring transparency and cost predictability. This is perfect for branding sprints, website builds, content creation packages, or targeted marketing campaigns.

Looking for something more ongoing? We love building long-term partnerships! After launching your website, for example, we can seamlessly shift to a retainer for maintenance, enhancements, and A/B testing. Similarly, content creation and ghostwriting projects can evolve into retainers as your needs grow. Found yourself in marathon fundraising talks? We can be your secret weapon on retainer, providing ongoing writing support. Even our product development team can join you on retainer during beta testing, helping with data collection and analysis. The bottom line? We adapt to your unique situation, so you get exactly the support you need.

How does Ankord Media integrate user research into the branding and product design processes?

User research is the bedrock of everything we do at Ankord Media. We believe in building brands and products that resonate with real people, and that all starts with a deep understanding of their needs and desires. That's why we have an added bonus on our team: a trained anthropologist with expertise in market research and user-centric design.

This means we go beyond demographics and delve into the deeper cultural and behavioral factors that influence how people interact with your brand and product. Through strategic user interviews, surveys, and usability testing, we gather invaluable insights that inform every stage of the branding and design process. From crafting your brand messaging to optimizing your product interface, user research ensures your brand speaks directly to the hearts and minds of your target audience.

How do you ensure that DTC websites are optimized for mobile devices?

We design DTC websites with smartphones in mind, prioritizing these key elements:
