Our Process
We designed our COFLOWCO business development and project processes to be memorable, functional, and intuitive.
Our consultants can step in at any stage, or take your projects from the start to finish. From intake to delivery, pitching to invoices, idea to impact, and concept to campaign launch, we have you covered.
This process is both regenerative and iterative by design. We like it so much it guides our internal processes too. For clients less familiar with creative or project management, or new to partnering with design and content creators, it may feel new. This process gives everyone a touchstone of where we are by phase and goal.

How can we support you?
Whatever stage you are in your business or wherever you are in your creation process, we can jump in to fill the gaps or give you guidance.
It’s your business and this is your trip; we’re here for the ride. We offer directions and options to get your brand or org where you want to go and make sure you walk the walk along the way.
Where should we start?
Anywhere, but we always start with a Discovery phase. Dozens of clients have completed our process quickly onboards us to your brand and current business status. This is our favorite part of the coFLOWco process, where we unearth your motivations and find ways to support your vision. From there we identify needed communications and design improvements, roadblocks in your planning, and highlight opportunities to embed your purpose and achieve your goals. Our work together can finish with a Discovery Read-Out with suggested next steps, or we can stay on to assist with deeper strategic planning, copy, design, implement changes, or design workshops and facilitation to create an impact.
