Investments and Operations - Four Points Funding
“I tasked TJ with creating a portfolio of brands with the need to clearly be married, but each have their own personality, which is not a simple task. He created a unique logo and color scheme for each brand, yet kept the brands similar enough to show they are part of the same family. He even created a unique font for the project. I look forward to continuing to work with TJ!”

Each project is unique, but on average, there is a 2-3 week lead time from project launch to final delivery. There may also be times when we are booked up to two months in advance.
While each project is different, it is safe to say that we generally operate in the thousand dollar range over the hundred dollar. It is best to reach out with a project need and allow us to field if it is a good fit.
