A London brand consultancy for founders scaling £3M to £50M.
Pivitt is a brand consultancy based in Aldgate, working with founders, MDs and marketing directors across London and the UK. Fifteen years of brand work for BMW Group, Rolls-Royce, Universal Music Group, BBC and BT. Consultancy peer, not agency vendor.
Why London founders and MDs work with Pivitt instead of an agency.
The decision between a brand consultancy and a branding agency is a decision about what you want from the engagement. If you want strategic thinking, senior involvement throughout and commercial outcomes measured in revenue, that is what a consultancy is built to deliver.
Strategy before creative, every time.
Every engagement starts with commercial diagnosis across six dimensions: positioning, architecture, identity, messaging, experience and alignment. Creative work only begins once the positioning decision has been made. Most failed rebrands skip this step.
No account manager layer.
The person in the pitch is the person in the work. Davuud Ghani leads every engagement, with a network of senior specialists for identity, messaging and production. No junior teams briefed through account managers. No hand-offs you did not agree to.
Measured in revenue, not awards.
A home services client went from £300k to £2.18M revenue, 118% above target. Universal Music Group saw a 1,100% conversion lift. An investment firm scaled to £40M. Each engagement defines success metrics before work starts, and reports against them 12 months in.
Built for £3M to £50M businesses.
Big London agencies are sized for enterprise budgets. Freelance designers produce visuals without commercial strategy. A consultancy is the middle path: strategic depth without the overhead. Entry point is a £1,500 diagnostic; full programmes run £35k to £120k.
Aldgate office, working across the UK.
Pivitt is based at Aldgate Tower on Leman Street. Roughly half of engagements are with London businesses; the other half are UK-wide, running remotely or on-site. The London base means in-person meetings, workshops and site visits are always possible.
200,000 assets. 160 campaigns.
Eight years embedded with BMW Group. Work for Rolls-Royce, Universal Music Group, BBC, BT, Duracell and Nike. Partnerships across Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Aston Martin F1 and Aramco through Pansports. A consultancy with delivery depth, not just strategy decks.

What makes this different from a typical agency engagement.

London brand consultancy: the questions we get asked.
What is a London brand consultancy?+
A London brand consultancy advises founders and marketing leaders on commercial positioning, brand strategy, identity and messaging. It differs from a branding agency by leading with commercial diagnosis and positioning before any creative work. Pivitt is a London-based consultancy for UK businesses scaling from £3M to £50M.
How much does a London brand consultancy cost?+
London brand consultancy fees typically range from £1,500 for a brand diagnostic to £35,000 to £120,000 for a full brand transformation programme. Pivitt offers a £1,500 Brand Alignment Diagnostic as the entry point. Full transformation programmes covering strategy, positioning, identity, messaging and rollout run £35,000 to £120,000 depending on scope.
What is the difference between a brand consultancy and a branding agency?+
A brand consultancy leads with commercial diagnosis, positioning and strategy. A branding agency typically leads with creative exploration and visual identity. Consultancies charge for thinking; agencies charge for execution. Consultancies tend to work senior-led with no account management layer. Agencies usually route work through account managers to junior creative teams. Read our full comparison at /compare.
How do I choose a London brand consultancy?+
Look at four things. The seniority of the person who actually does your work, not the person who pitches. The commercial rigour of their diagnostic process. The calibre of named clients they have delivered measurable outcomes for. Whether their case studies lead with business results rather than creative deliverables. If three of those four are missing, keep looking.
What services does a brand consultancy in London offer?+
A brand consultancy in London typically offers brand strategy and positioning, brand architecture, identity and visual system design, messaging and narrative development, brand guidelines and governance, and rollout support. Pivitt groups these into three stages: Diagnose, Transform, and Sustain.
Does Pivitt work with businesses outside London?+
Yes. Pivitt is London-based but works with UK businesses across the country. Engagements run remotely or on-site depending on the client. Roughly half of active engagements are with businesses headquartered outside London.
How long does a brand consultancy engagement take?+
A Pivitt engagement ranges from 10 working days for a £1,500 Brand Alignment Diagnostic to 16 to 24 weeks for a full brand transformation programme. A brand refresh is 4 to 8 weeks. A rebrand with strategy, positioning and identity is 12 to 20 weeks. Full breakdown at our rebrand timeline guide.
What size of business does Pivitt work with in London?+
Pivitt works with UK businesses scaling from £3M to £50M in revenue.
