Brand Muffins & Packages - DARCI Creative

Starting a business is exciting (and scary) but we're here to help with bite-sized marketing plans just for you.

As you embark on the journey of getting your new business off the ground – be sure to plan for marketing. We’re excited to offer expert branding and website development you can afford! As small business champions, we’ve created a solution for start-ups that lays a solid foundation for sustainability and growth. Armed with a strong brand, website, and marketing plan you’ll be set up for success to reach the right customers, sell more, and grow your business right out of the gate, and for years to come.

If you’re a small business owner looking for big agency know-how and strategic design at a fraction of the price – we can help!

Brand Muffins™ aren't for everyone.

We created Brand Muffins™ as a simple, affordable solution for the start-up owner – someone who needs a bite-sized package of expert branding and web design (at a delicious price) to help launch or relaunch their business. It’s a branding and digital marketing combo designed to jumpstart your business quickly, efficiently, and brilliantly.

From our experiences working with businesses of all shapes and sizes, we realized that there was one group of business owners with similar needs: new small business owners. We know the process that takes a small business owner from the idea stage to launch, and we understand the challenges you might face during that time. That’s why we created Brand Muffins™.

What does a typical Brand Muffin™ client look like?

A new business, with less than 2 years under their belt
Never truly invested in marketing; no solid brand / logo, no website at all or one that was put together on the fly, no direction for marketing
Less than $200,000 in annual revenue
