Our design sprints help founders and business leaders punch higher and sleep better. Sounds nice right? By solving today's brand and product challenges with speed, we ensure companies are ready to meet the important opportunities of tomorrow.
Muhammad Ali's jab landed in 0.04 seconds—the blink of an eye. Human reaction time is roughly 0.25 seconds. A punch that lands before an opponent's brain clocks it. Twelve punches in under three seconds to be exact. Stay with us…
Speed is often the trade-off for quality. Muhammad Ali was the first to hold three world heavyweight titles with 37 total career knockouts. He trained with psychotic obsession. He had the fastest punch on the planet. He struck with lightspeed precision. That’s what it took to win. That’s why we run design sprints. Like Ali, we’ve been on a relentless pursuit to master our sport. Thousands of hours of training uncaged for short periods of high-intensity world building. We’re ready for that bell to ring. We know right where our first punch lands—brand strategy.
Playing it safe is the most dangerous move your brand can make. Our Foundation sprints place equal value on both brand strategy and identity, helping you define and communicate your special sauce. It’s all gas from there, building the entire visual and verbal world you need to challenge or define the category.
Engage sprints center around the creation of the marketing, sales, and advertising channels you'll need to not only make bookoo bucks, but to tell your brand story and connect with the fans who love you most. This is where beauty and conversions become one, allowing marketing and growth teams to edit, build, and scale their web solutions at speed.
Whether you're raising your next funding round or launching a new feature set, the decisions you make at the product level dictate whether you have life-long users, or constant churn. Our Retain sprints combine years of app and software expertise with our brand-first approach to make user experiences that are truly special for users.
You can have the sexiest brand alive, but if you don't know how to activate it in the real world with real people, it's not doing you any favors. Our Activate sprints do exactly that – collaborating with the brands to build go-to-market strategies, packaging design systems, and brand campaigns to showcase irrestible products.
With fierce competition across every category, you need a growth partner that understands business building. We help extract what’s truly special about your business, how to position it amongst competitors, and how to communicate and attract your superfreaks. If you’re ready to go where no amount of LLM prompting will ever take you, let’s talk.
Actually yes, it is a sprint. Every time. After working with 75+ businesses ranging from pre-revenue startups to household names doing over $25 billion in annual revenue, speed is always an advantage. Our approach uses fine-tuned brand strategy to steer rapid design iteration, user testing, and validation. The rules of branding and products are ever-evolving, just like the people who buy your things. We sprint so you can too.
"I can’t say enough good things about Max and Powerbomb - they were unbelievable. So talented, easy to work with, and collaborative. We wanted something fun and modern, but we are also a telemedicine company, so it needed to feel super trustworthy. They did an amazing job and I’d recommend them to anybody. Absolutely anybody. Thank you Max.”
"Our competitors feel we’ve separated from the pack, and that for sure started with our new brand and tone. We won Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Companies, Great Places to Work, and Newsweek recognized us as Greatest Places to Work for Women. We went from around $40 million in annual revenue when we started talking, to $175 million in revenue this year.”
Powerbomb helped us do much more than build a website: they helped us define how to tell our story. They challenged us to think differently in a category that often defaults to technical jargon, and together we uncovered 'Old Friends' as the narrative that now anchors our entire brand. In just 12 weeks, we went from a collection of scientific ideas to a cohesive identity and website that clearly communicates our vision to partners, investors, and customers. It was one of the highest-leverage projects we've undertaken as a company.
"Powerbomb's startup sprint process gave us the exact flexibility we needed, without any trade off. A really professional and polished feel, so much so that we're getting some press from publications like Dieline, which is actually helping us have conversations with retailers. Bottom line is if you're a startup trying to get your branding dialed early on, go with Powerbomb. Period."
“The brand Powerbomb built helped us nail very large promotional clients. I'll put it this way - it got us the opportunity to partner with F1 Racing, Orangetheory Fitness, and TopGolf.”
"Powerbomb did branding for our company Carryingmate, and it turned out fantastic. They were very easy to work with and did a great job in understanding our needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of work!"
"The final product of my brand creation project exceeded my expectations ten fold. I really appreciated the organized and thoughtful approach they took to working together, and I ended up with something unique that I receive compliments on all the time. This is an investment in my business that I am so glad I made. Thanks for making it such a fun process!"
Does Powerbomb only offer sprints?
Yes. We believe in the power of clear and calculated speed. More often than not projects take up the full amount of time that's allotted to them. After hundreds of projects over our careers, we've developed and refined our processes to include heavy strategy up front to ground all design work, followed by a volume of early design iteration. This allows us to make quick but calculated design decisions along the way, with pacing of client reviews throughout the process for stakeholder sign-off.
What kinds of companies do you work with?
You...we work with your company. Unless you make bombs of course, then we're not the right partner. That aside, we work with a range of companies across CPG and wellness, all the way into software and technology. We purposely do not niche down on client type, as we feel there's constant industry-tangential learnings that can flow from industry to industry. We've found our sweet spot to be well-funded startups between Seed and Series C funding rounds, as well as Fortune 1,000's with big teams and complex structures that need outside consulting, execution, and results. Fast.
Does sprint mean cheap?
Sprint does not mean cheap, in fact it's the opposite. Powerbomb branding sprints are priced based on the value we provide in such a short amount of time, which is invaluable for startups and fast moving companies alike.
