The studio

An independent studio for independent businesses.

Boulevard Branding is a one-person studio doing the work most agencies skip. Real conversations, sharper concepts, and identities built to last past the launch.

Based in Kansas City, working with small businesses across the country. Every project starts with a single question: what do you want people to feel when they meet your brand for the first time? Everything else flows from that.

Common questions

The things people usually ask.

How much does a logo cost?

Logo design starts at $400 à la carte (3 concepts, 2 rounds of revisions, all final file formats). The Logo Package bundle is also $400 and includes the logo plus a color story and typography system. Full brand identity packages start at $1,000.

Can I just pick a few services instead of a full package?

Yes, that's the à la carte model on the services page. You can mix and match anything from logo design and websites to business cards, photography, Google Business setup, SEO, and AEO optimization. Each item has a fixed price, and you'll get a complete quote within 24 business hours.

How long does a brand identity project take?

The Logo Package takes one week. The Brand Starter takes three weeks. The Brand + Web package takes five to six weeks. À la carte items have individual timelines. Rush options are available for a 50% upcharge, subject to schedule.

Do you only work with Kansas City businesses?

Boulevard Branding is based in Kansas City, MO, but we work with small businesses nationwide on brand identity, web design, and digital marketing. Photography services are local to the Kansas City metro area only.

What photography services do you offer?

Headshots ($150 per person), team headshots ($400 for up to 5 people), product photography ($300 for 10 products), brand and lifestyle shoots ($500 for a half day), and real estate photography ($200 per property). All photography is local to the Kansas City metro area.

Do you build websites too?

Yes. Single landing pages start at $400. Five-page Squarespace or Webflow sites are $1,200 à la carte, or bundled into the Brand + Web package at $2,000 with the full identity. All sites are mobile responsive with basic SEO included.

What is AEO and do I need it?

AEO is Answer Engine Optimization, which is how your business gets found inside AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. If you want your business to show up when someone asks an AI for recommendations, yes, you need it. AEO optimization is $200 and includes structured data, FAQ schema, and content rewrites for AI surfacing.

What's your payment structure?

All projects require a 50% deposit to start. The remaining 50% is due on delivery with Net 7 terms. No work begins without the deposit. Final files are released after final payment.

Who is the designer behind Boulevard Branding?

Brett Branstetter runs Boulevard Branding from Kansas City, MO. He studied marketing and photography at Columbia College Chicago and has been doing brand and marketing work for small businesses since 2022. By day he's the COO of Lotpop Inc., a Kansas City automotive software company.
