YSDS.CO | How It Works | Phase I: The Brand DNA Map

phase 1: The Brand DNA Map™

Your Brand isn’t Broken.
It’s Just Missing the Map.

This is your first step, and the most important. In just 7 days, we go from founder insight to market-backed strategy, then build a complete brand roadmap you can use with your team, designer, or with me. This is where it all starts and what sets our clients apart.

In just ONE week, you will get:

Full market research and competitive analysis
Strategic roadmap outlining what to build (and what to avoid)
Direction for messaging, visuals, audience, and positioning
A clear quote to execute the map with us (optional)

There will be no obligation to continue with us, as this is a standalone asset. No more wondering what's missing. Your Brand DNA Map gives you the full picture.

Day 1

Leadership Interview

We gather insights directly from the founders — your beliefs, current realities, convictions, and direction, to embed your voice into the brand strategy.

Day 2-3

Market Research &
Alignment Session

After conducting deep market and competitor analysis, we align with you to confirm key insights, direction, and logistics before the full roadmap creation begins.

Day 4-6

Roadmap Development

We build your complete Brand DNA Map. This is your strategic blueprint that defines your brand’s structure, direction, and early-stage positioning insights.

Day 7

Deep-Dive Presentation

You receive the full Brand DNA Map in a live session with complete clarity on how to move forward, whether with us or your own team.

When you don’t have a clear strategy, you’re not just stalling growth. You're paying for it.

...with wasted time on designs you later ditch, low-converting websites that miss the mark, inconsistent messaging that repels ideal clients, and growth... but sideways.

Why DNA Map First?

If you’ve invested in logos, websites, or content that didn’t deliver, you're not alone. When there’s no clarity on positioning, messaging, or brand purpose, design becomes decoration. It looks nice, but it doesn't work.

Your brand looks good, but clients still don’t “get” what you do
Every marketing effort feels scattered or inconsistent
You’re attracting the wrong clients or price shoppers
You're stuck rebranding every 12 months
You’re not sure what to prioritize next

The Brand DNA Map is the most important week you'll spend on your brand. In just 7 days, you'll get clear what makes your brand powerful and how to express it clearly across design, messaging, and experience.

This isn’t a fluffy mood board or surface-level discovery. It’s a complete, actionable breakdown of your brand’s core, created for service businesses and B2B brands that want to build, launch, and scale with intention.

Who it's for

In service businesses, your brand IS your product. It has to do more than look polished. It has to make abstract value visible, turn expertise into trust, and help buyers clearly understand why you're worth listening.

So if you sell an experience, a transformation, or your expertise, this is for you:

Service Founders
You run a 1-3 people service business and you need to pivot, refine, or launch with clarity from Day 1, so you don't leak leads.
‍
B2B Startups
‍Manufacturing, technology, and SaaS founders building innovative solutions who want to attract enterprise clients and eliminate price competition.
‍
Growth-Ready Entrepreneurs
You've been running your business for awhile and you've outgrown the DIY phase or scattered branding.
‍
Premium Product Brands
High-ticket products or services that need their brand to justify luxury positioning and attract high-value customers.
‍

"The DNA Map was more useful than an entire agency retainer I had last year."

FAQ

Answers to Your Questions

Start Today - $1,800 USD

Can you just do the design work for us?

Most brands start with design and that's where things get scattered. When there’s no clarity on positioning, messaging, or brand purpose, design becomes decoration. It looks nice, but it doesn't work. And it WILL show when you present yourself in front of your audience.

We start with your Brand DNA Map™, a strategy-first approach that sets the stage for design that performs, messaging that lands, and positioning that converts.

Is this a strategy call or a deliverable?

This isn’t just a call. It’s a structured process that ends with a documented strategic roadmap that uncovers what makes your brand powerful and how to express it clearly across design, messaging, and experience.

Can I use this roadmap with my in-house team or designer?

Absolutely. The deliverable is yours to use however you want and that's the point. It’s designed to guide execution no matter who builds the brand.

What if this doesn't work for my industry?

The biggest risk isn't trying something new. It's staying stuck where you are while competitors claim the premium market you deserve. We've transformed authority positioning across dozens of industries. From entertainment law to real estate to fashion.

The principles work because human psychology doesn't change by industry.

What if I decide to move forward with you for full branding?

If you choose to work with us for full brand execution, the entire cost of your Brand DNA Map™ is credited toward your project.

What happens after I sign up?

You’ll get directed to your Leadership Interview intake form and scheduling details for the Alignment Session. From there, we begin the 7-day process.

What’s the investment and what will I get from it?

The Brand DNA Map™ is $1,800 and if you move forward with full brand execution, that amount is fully credited toward your project. Clients say the clarity alone is worth it. You’ll avoid misaligned design & wasted time, and walk away with a brand roadmap that saves you thousands in future guesswork.

"After dealing with several agencies and designers we were extremely skeptical. But Yuna left no room for not knowing who we were as an organization."

Nicole R.

— Executive Manager

“I couldn’t be more happy working with Yuna and her team. She worked off a set of vague ideas and iterated by collaborating with us. We were very nervous in the beginning and she easily gave us confidence from start to finish that we would find a brand that met our needs."

Brigid J.

— Advisor, AWS

"The Brand DNA Map helped me finally see how everything connects, and the exact direction I should be moving in. Yuna understands audience psychology and branding better than anyone I’ve worked with. Every part of her strategy had intent. Within weeks, I saw meaningful engagement, real community growth, and a clear roadmap we could scale."

Christina R.

— Founder, TCT

"I don't know how she does this such short period of time, but thanks to Yuna and her team, our brand now stands on a solid foundation with a clear, cohesive identity and a roadmap for sustained growth. Their work has not only set us up for success in the short term but has positioned us to scale effectively in the future."
