Every project starts with a 15 min. call to see if we're a good fit to work together. If we are, then we use our proven 3-step process to get your brand ready for what's next in your business. 

The Salt™ is a deep-dive interview where we uncover the problem. We use our SPICE framework (Strategy, Positioning, Identity, Clarity, and Execution) to craft a custom solution. Then we deliver your project in a focused brand sprint.

Natalie Horner, Founder of Peppered Labs

I’m Natalie, and I believe there is a solution waiting to be designed for any problem.

I started Peppered Labs with the goal of blending the best of my tech and agency experience to create repeatable processes that work, without the fluff.

Having helped more than 100 founders solve complex growth problems and revitalize their brands, I’ve developed a framework called SPICE that works.

If you’re a founder or leader of an established B2B business facing a growth challenge, especially in construction, engineering, manufacturing, tech, or SaaS, let’s talk for 15 minutes and see if a strategy session and custom brand blueprint would help.

Before working with her, my website was totally unremarkable, and now it's among the best in my industry in my area.”
