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.
Contrary to middle school brainwashing, playing it safe and fitting in is the most dangerous move your brand can make. Our brand sprints uncover your special sauce, who benefits most from it, and your wedge within the competitive set. It’s all gas from there. We build the entire visual and verbal world you need to challenge or define the category.
In the intelligence era, with an increasing amount of artificial mehhh, your website is your first impression. And over 90% of first impressions are visual. Your website is your home base—the epicenter of all sales, marketing, and advertising. It should surprise, delight, and serve up value at every stage of the funnel. We deliver fully-custom marketing machines ready for your team to scale with ease, and we do it in just 5 weeks.
For e-commerce brands, studies show that a beautiful and easy-to-use website can increase conversions by up to 200%. High-performing sites don’t just look slick, they ride a fine line between brand storytelling and conversion rate optimization. With years of e-comm knowledge and implementation, this sprint delivers a custom platform your team can manage and scale without the need for a single developer.
A lot of folks like to call it an MVP, but honestly, “minimum” and “viable” aren’t words we ever want to associate with your life’s work, or your Fortune 500 employers' next big bet. Our product launch sprint takes a human-centered approach to build a thoughtful, differentiated, and fun experience for early users, allowing companies to collect insights, test usability, and validate their idea early on.
Have big product ambitions? Pressured to stack your team with the right talent while staying within budget? Well, take a load off. As a fractional partner, we integrate with senior product engineers to sprint towards clear goals at a set cost and duration. Make progress and save money while you fill the right full-time seats. You’ll be ready to rock the second you tap us in. Ding ding ding!
Most humans don’t even notice why they gravitate towards certain products on-shelf or online. There’s a great deal of human nature and psychological science behind why some products get chucked in the cart over others. We’ve run the shelf studies, backroom shopper testing, and the mega corp validation. Maybe more importantly, we understand how to create insatiable packaging design that ensures a stop, hold, and close.
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.
