The Dept Resources Files
Some files are free to access.
Some have a small filing fee.
All of them are psychology-backed, strategy led, and approved under the No Shit Brand Act (2018).
Note: These are not ‘cute freebies’ you’ll forget you downloaded. They’re the tools used in $10k+ projects, released here for independent operators who want to DIY without the usual dumpster fire.

Start small.
Grab one of the open access docs. They’ll give you a taste of how we do things at the Dept.
Upgrade when ready.
Restricted files go deeper and save you months of circling.
No gatekeeping.
Everything is built to be practical, usable, and effective. No theory for theory’s sake.
Whether you’re clarifying your message, diagnosing blind spots, or learning how to sell in shaky markets, the right file is waiting.
Inside, you’ll find resources, templates, and frameworks straight from Dept operations. Each one is designed to help you stop guessing at your brand and finally act like the founder you actually are.
Once opened, these files can’t be unread.

Watch a brand strategist take on her most terrifying client. Herself.
Before The Identity Dept, there was The Branding Psychologist. I documented every step of the journey so you can watch how a behavioural strategist applies her own frameworks, questions everything, and occasionally panics.
Because if the Dept has to practice what it preaches… you might as well take notes.
