We help ambitious people shape who they are - and build brand worlds that grow in alignment with that truth.

✺ OUR ORIGIN STORY

The Identity Consultants is a boutique brand and communications studio building identity systems for founders and brand-led businesses.

This studio began as an independent consultancy, founded by Jack Goodson, a creative strategist who built his method the long way:

From writing $8 poems on Upwork, to brand copy, to creative direction, to CMO, to strategic advisor for CEOs, VCs, and public-facing founders.
One trench at a time.

Across it all, one truth became impossible to ignore:
Most brands don’t lack ideas.
They lack identity.

Not a logo. Not a persona. Not a polished pitch deck.
But a living, evolving identity — shaped by the values, psychology, and vision of its founder.
That’s where it all begins.

✺ THE STUDIO

What started as one-to-one identity consulting for world-changing leaders became a full studio:

A family-led practice expanding Jack’s frameworks into brand systems that scale.

Co-founded with Jade Goodson, Head of Brand Partnerships — who spent 6+ years behind the scenes shaping consumer and entertainment brands through The Goodson Group — The Identity Consultants now brings founder-rooted clarity to brands, content, and communications across the board.

✺ Our Belief

Identity is not a fixed thing. It’s something you build.

When you get clear on who you are and what you stand for, you gain the power to shape how the world sees you.

We help you turn that clarity into a system.

One that scales across strategy, storytelling, comms, and culture.

Because identity isn’t just where a brand begins.

It’s how it endures.

✺ Our Services

Every breakthrough brand starts with a clear founder identity. Not personal branding for its own sake — but founder communications as the strategic center of how you position, pitch, and grow.

✺ FAQs

  • Not a logo. Not a tagline.

    Identity is the strategic spine of how you grow — rooted in your values, psychology, positioning, and purpose.

    It guides what you say, how you show up, and how others experience your brand.

  • No - but personal branding is one layer of the system.

    We help founders and executives shape public presence with precision, but the goal isn’t vanity metrics.

    It’s building founder-led clarity that drives real traction - across the company, culture, and category.

  • We don’t work with “early-stage” or “enterprise” as blanket categories.
    We work with people at inflection points - when clarity matters more than ever.

    Here’s who we’re best for:

    ONE
    VC-Backed Startup Founders (Seed to Series B)

    Building fast, raising soon, growing a team — but messaging hasn’t caught up.

    We help founders sharpen their narrative, clarify their GTM comms, and lead with identity.

    TWO
    Growth-Stage Founder-Led Brands

    The business is growing - but the brand feels behind.

    The founder voice isn’t showing up consistently, and the team is building around a void.

    We help realign identity across founder, team, and brand.

    THREE
    CMOs, Brand Leads, & Comms Execs at Founder-Led Companies

    CMOs, Brand Directors, and Comms Leads who need the founder to show up clearly - so the team can build with it, not around it.

    We give you the founder language, vision, and positioning that aligns the whole brand.

    Executives and Incoming CEOs Stepping into Public Thought Leadership

    Please note, this is offered by Jack who has limited 1:1 advisory slots for executive and CEOs. Visit www.jbgoodson.com and message him directly.

  • Great. We’re not here to start from scratch.

    We’re here to sharpen what’s true and evolve what’s no longer serving your growth.

    Sometimes that means refining your positioning.

    Sometimes that means reimagining your narrative.

    Sometimes that means activating the founder’s voice in ways that clarify everything else.

  • Even better.

    We thrive in the ambiguity — helping you shape the idea, language, and system before it solidifies.
    The earlier we can build clarity, the easier everything else becomes.

  • This depends on the engagement, but typical deliverables include:

    • Strategic Identity Systems (positioning, messaging, POV)

    • Brand Worlds (narrative structure, visual creative, content direction)

    • Founder/Executive Comms Playbooks

    • Campaign or GTM Messaging Strategy

    • Naming, taglines, frameworks, and narrative assets

    • Long-term strategic advisory

    Visit our Services page for more information.

  • If the founder’s not involved, we need a strong creative lead who gets the vision and can move decisively.

    We’re flexible - but alignment matters.

    We don’t do brand work by committee.

  • Yes.

    Many clients retain us for ongoing founder comms, brand growth consulting, or advisory on evolving strategy and visibility.

    We also support brand teams with messaging and execution over time.

  • Our studio pricing is designed for funded founders, scaling businesses, and strategic brand reinvention.

    Projects begin around £6K–£10K+, with advisory and larger brand builds scoped individually.

    We’re happy to share options on a discovery call.
