The Collection Program

Eight weeks. Twenty seats. One brand, actually built.

Not a course about branding — a cohort that finishes with a working brand: the identity, the visuals, the offer framework, the systems, a live site and storefront, the content engine, and the community practice around it.

Be told first

The program runs in cycles, and each one is announced at least a month before it starts. Leave your email and we'll write when applications open — and not before.

One email, about this. Nothing else is added to a list.

What gets built.

Every week ships a real artifact. By week eight you don't have notes about a brand — you have one, live, and it's yours.

Weeks unlock on the cohort's shared calendar, so twenty people are on week three together. That's what makes the room worth being in.

Weeks 1–2 · Identity and visuals

Your why turned into decisions — name, voice, the one-line promise — then a working brand kit: palette, type, imagery, marks. Not a mood board.

Weeks 3–4 · The framework and the systems

What you actually sell, and the architecture between the pieces. Then the operating system behind it: the workspace, the pipeline, the asset library, the templates.

Week 5 · Websites and storefronts

The site built in Wix and the storefront in Shopify, hands-on, carrying your offer map into real products. Live by the end of the week.

Week 6 · Content formats and positioning

The niche answer, your pillars, the formats you'll actually ship — and a thirty-day plan at a pace you could hold for a year.

Weeks 7–8 · Community, and the showcase

Turning an audience into a community, engagement systems that don't burn you out — and the showcase, where you present the brand you built.

What eight weeks actually asks of you.

Two lectures a week

Live, and recorded — sixteen across the cycle, yours to keep afterwards.

A workshop every second week

Build-alongs and critiques: the kit, the systems, the formats, and the closing showcase.

Office hours, weekly

Not recorded, on purpose — so people ask the questions they'd never ask on tape.

Twenty-eight live sessions in all, plus the Studio: a shared room where work in progress gets shown before it's ready, and someone answers. Roughly six hours a week, honestly counted.

Two doors

One price if you're already in Community. One if you're not.

Both doors ask the same twenty-five questions and get the same human read. The difference is the price, and we'd rather you saw it here than three steps into a form.

Community members

$497

One all-in seat. Apply from inside your portal — you're already known to the house.

Applying directly

$647

$497 for the seat, plus a $150 non-member fee. Same questions, same read, same seat — no waiting for a Community season.

All payments are final. We say it here, in the acceptance letter, and again at checkout — before you pay rather than after. Accepted applicants get seven days to claim their seat, and if you let the window pass the seat goes to the waitlist, because twenty is genuinely twenty.

After the letter

What a seat actually opens.

The application, the seat and the eight weeks all live in the workspace at createspacebrand.online. This page is the front door; the program is through it.

Nothing about money happens on this site. Card details never touch it, and no payment is taken here.

The letter, and seven days

An acceptance letter arrives with a link that holds your seat for seven days. It names the price you'll pay before you open it.

Claiming the seat is paying for it

That link opens checkout in the workspace, handled by Stripe. All payments are final, and it says so there too.

A welcome letter, carrying the way in

The moment payment clears, a welcome letter arrives with the link to your portal. New to the house, it sets up your account; already a Community member, the portal you use simply gains the cohort.

Week 0 opens the same day

Arrival: your profile, orientation and the Conduct agreement. The build weeks unlock from there on the cohort's shared calendar, together.

Pathway

The nine unlocks on the shared clock. A locked week still shows its title and the day it opens — anticipation, not mystery.

Studio

The room, and the work-in-progress rail: what you're making, shown before it's finished, answered by people in it with you.

Sessions

All twenty-eight, with the replays for the lectures and workshops. Office hours stay unrecorded.

My Cohort

The nineteen other people building next to you, and the work they're shipping the same week you are.

Already have a seat?

Your portal is where the program runs. If the welcome letter has gone missing, sign in and it's waiting.

Open your portal

A person reads every application, and a person makes every decision.

An open rubric scores everyone the same way, and it's advisory only. There are no automated rejections here, and no protected attributes are collected or scored — not in the application, not in the rubric, not anywhere.

There's room for you here.

Pick your door at the front desk. Every application is read by a person, and every decision is made by one.
