Branding work moves in rounds: discovery, several routes, refinement, then the final asset pack. When each round goes out as an email attachment, nobody is sure which file was approved and feedback on route B ends up mixed into notes on route A.
How branding and design studios set up Tandem App
- Create a channel per identity project, such as #brand-oakfield-bakery, and pin the project timeline and the agreed number of revision rounds.
- In Docs, add folders called 01 Discovery, 02 Routes, 03 Refinement and 04 Final assets, so the client can always find the current round.
- Ask the client to leave comments on the image files themselves; image previews mean they do not need to download anything to give feedback.
- Track the asset pack on the task board: "Primary logo, all formats", "Colour palette sheet", "Social avatars", "Brand guidelines PDF", each with a checklist of file formats.
Clients and outside people
Founders or marketing leads join as Chat only guests, so they can see progress and comment on files but not rearrange the studio's tasks. An end date tied to final handover closes access automatically.
