Brand Rollout Plan (30/60/90)

This plan is designed for small businesses: apply your brand across touchpoints without chaos, rework, or “random marketing.”

Days 1–30: Stabilize the “front door”

Make your brand feel consistent where customers first meet you.
Focus
  • Website basics
  • Social profiles
  • Core templates
Deliverables
  • Homepage above-the-fold is consistent (logo, colors, typography, CTA)
  • Social profile images + bios aligned with positioning
  • One set of templates for recurring content (social + email)
  • Touchpoint map with top 10 priorities and owners

Days 31–60: Standardize the system

Make consistency easier than inconsistency.
Focus
  • Guidelines
  • Governance
  • Email + sales assets
Deliverables
  • Brand guidelines v1 documented (logo, palette, fonts, imagery, voice)
  • Approval process (who approves what) is clear
  • Transactional emails and newsletter are aligned
  • Sales deck/proposal template is standardized

Days 61–90: Expand + maintain

Apply brand deeper and prevent drift over time.
Focus
  • Secondary pages
  • Campaigns
  • Monthly QA loop
Deliverables
  • Secondary pages updated (about, services, FAQs)
  • Channel checklist applied (ads, email, sales, social)
  • Monthly brand QA routine scheduled
  • Asset naming and organization cleaned up

Common rollout pitfalls

Trying to fix everything at once

Fix: Start with top 10 touchpoints that impact customers most (website + profiles + email).

No owner for brand decisions

Fix: Assign one accountable person (even if it’s the founder).

Templates not documented

Fix: Create repeatable templates so new assets don’t reinvent style.
