The founder’s refresh for when your business has evolved beyond version one

A 2-hour brand strategy workshop built for founders of service-driven businesses ready to level up, not start over. You walk away with the focus, language, and confidence to talk about your business in a way that feels right again.

“I have clarity, purpose and direction. It was there all the time, I just couldn't get through the daily noise to capture it, in the way that this workshop has done.”

Nutritionist & Performance Manager of Barr Ultra

The problem

You know your business is good. Clients trust you. Revenue’s steady. But something about how you show up doesn’t fit anymore. The language feels off. The marketing no longer sounds like the business you’ve become.

The solution

Because what got you here won’t get you there. You’re running a different kind of business now — sharper, stronger, more established — but your communication still sounds like version one. Version Two is where we fix that disconnect. It goes deeper than marketing. It’s about reconnecting with why you started, and making sure your business still speaks from that truth.

“You took my initial thoughts and transformed them into a brand that truly brings me JOY!”

What this is

A 2-hour workshop where we slow things down, untangle what’s gotten noisy, and reconnect your business with its purpose.

We’ll refine your:
• Purpose, vision, and mission
• Brand values and personality
• Target audience
• Positioning
• Tagline directions
• Brand manifesto

The workshop is where we uncover it. The two weeks after is where I turn it into something you can actually use. You’ll walk away with more than a document. You’ll have direction that feels true to you, a sharper sense of purpose, and the confidence to move forward knowing it all fits. No jargon. No guesswork. Just structure that works.

No sales pitch. Just a chat to see if it’s a good fit.

How it works

A 2-hour workshop where we slow things down, untangle what’s gotten noisy, and reconnect your business with its purpose.

1 – Apply

Fill out a short application so I know where you’re at and what feels unclear. We decide if it’s a fit over a 20-min Zoom call. If it is, we lock in your workshop date.

2 – Workshop

A focused 2–3 hour working session where we get everything out on the table — your why, your audience, what’s changed, and what needs to.

3 – Build

Over the next two weeks, I go through everything we discussed and shape it into a clear brand strategy for you.

4 – Delivery

You’ll receive your Version Two PDF — a single, usable strategy document you can share with your team, designer, writer, or anyone who touches your brand.

Is this right for you?

This is built for business owners who are doing well but are ready to level up. It’s not for everyone.
This is not about fonts, colours, or a mood board. Nor is it a three-month engagement or a 10-page questionnaire.

It’s a hands-on working session built to help your business communicate clearly with the people who matter — clients, teams, investors, whoever’s on the other end.

This is not for...

x Founders after a quick fix or clever tagline
x Anyone who wants a logo before the logic
x Businesses treating strategy like optional admin
x People who come in without an open mind

It is for you if:

You sell expertise, not stuff
Are doing well but ready for the next stage
Want consistency across your website and marketing
Need focus before investing in design, hiring, or scaling

What you'll leave with

• Clarity on what your business stands for and how to talk about it
• Alignment between your message, marketing, and growth
• A foundation that makes every design, marketing, or sales decision easier.

You’ll leave clear, confident, and energised to show up again.
That’s Version Two.

Meet your strategist

Hi, I’m Ritika. I’ve spent 15 years in communications design and brand strategy across India, the US, the UK, and now Australia; leading teams, rebuilding brands, and fixing the messy comms that slow good businesses down. I run Bold Basic, where we design brands and business comms for B2B. 

I work with founders who aren’t confused, they’re just busy. Busy running the business, serving clients, wearing every hat except the one that forces you to stop and ask, “Why does this matter, and how do I talk about it?”

Most businesses evolve, but their strategy doesn’t. The work gets sharper, the clients get better, the business grows, but the message stays stuck in the past.

And that’s exactly why I created Version Two. This workshop brings the strategy up to speed with the business you’re running now. Not by reinventing anything, but by making the meaning visible again.

Because once you actually know what you stand for (properly, not in a “mission statement on a mug” way), everything else — marketing, sales, and decisions — stops feeling like a fight.

That’s the work I care about. It’s the part most people skip, and the reason so many businesses stay stuck in version one. And my mission is to make strategy your most powerful business tool.

Questions you might have

How long does it take?

One focused 2–3 hour workshop. Your final PDF lands within two weeks.

Version Two is an investment of AUD $2,500 plus GST. That covers the 2–3 hour workshop and up to two weeks of my time turning everything we uncover into your brand strategy document — purpose, vision, values, audience, positioning, and manifesto. You’re not paying for two hours. You’re paying for the thinking and structure that sits underneath everything you do next.

We don’t offer payment plans or refunds. Your workshop is confirmed once full payment is received. Because each slot is held exclusively for you, payments are non-refundable for cancellations or missed sessions. If something comes up, you can reschedule once to a new date within 30 days.

Version Two is built for B2B, professional services, and founder-led businesses where the value is in the thinking, the craft, the service, or the advice you provide. This includes (but isn’t limited to): Consulting and advisory firms; Private wealth, finance, and investment businesses; Education, coaching, and training providers; Tech and SaaS businesses with service or onboarding-heavy models; Legal, HR, and compliance services; Healthcare, wellbeing, and professional practices. It’s designed for founders who are doing well, growing steadily, and ready to align their strategy with the business they’re running now.

Mostly, yes. Version Two is built for established businesses who’ve outgrown their current setup. But if you’re a new business and want to start strong, this sets you up properly from day one.

Think of it as your business manual, the single source of truth for what you stand for and how you communicate. It’s what you hand to a designer, writer, or marketing team so every decision feels connected and consistent.

You don’t need to do anything, just show up for the workshop with an open mind.

Up to three decision-makers. We move faster that way.

Online (via Zoom).

You’ll receive your full brand strategy document within two weeks. From there, you can take it and run with it or you can work with me to build your brand and comms system on top of it.

Everything we discuss is confidential. You own the output.
