A complete operating system for running a structured, high-quality solo branding studio — from first enquiry through to delivery and financial control. Not a collection of templates. A fully joined-up Notion workspace.
One-time purchase · Instant Notion access · No subscription
SOS Solo is built specifically for solo branding designers. Not a productivity template. Not a task list dressed up as a system. A fully connected Notion workspace where your client work, intelligence, finances, marketing, and operations all live together — and actually talk to each other.
Everything flows from first enquiry through a structured 7-stage client journey to handover. Your Intelligence Hub gives you specialist branding AI prompts at every stage. Your finance dashboard shows you exactly where the money is. Your Command Centre shows you exactly where the work is.

Each part is built to connect to the others. This isn't eight separate templates — it's one joined-up operating system for a branding studio.
From intelligence to handover. Every stage of your branding process is structured — with clear deliverables, decision points, and handover protocols. You stop reinventing the process for every client and start running a consistent, high-quality studio.
Every client has their own portal. Every project is tracked from brief to delivery. You always know what's live, what's overdue, and what needs attention today — without opening an email.
Specialist branding AI prompts for every stage of the client journey. Not generic ChatGPT prompts. Prompts built specifically for branding work — discovery, positioning, naming, identity development, presentation. Works with Notion AI or ChatGPT.
Invoices, payments, expenses, and owner salary — all tracked in one place. You know exactly what's been paid, what's outstanding, and what the studio is generating. No more chasing your own numbers at tax time.
Strategy, social, newsletter, and referral engine — structured and connected. Your marketing doesn't disappear when client work is busy. It has its own system, its own rhythm, and it stays visible.
How you run your studio — documented. Client communication protocols, revision policies, delivery standards. You stop re-explaining your own process and start operating from a consistent set of standards.
A structured weekly rhythm that keeps the whole system current. Review what's live, what's coming, what the finances look like, and what needs your attention before the week disappears.
Everything important — visible at a glance. Active clients, outstanding invoices, upcoming deadlines, current priorities. One view. You open Notion and you know exactly where you stand.
"I was drowning in a sea of sticky notes, random documents, and forgotten follow-ups. SOS Solo gave me my Sunday evenings back. For the first time I actually know what's on my plate — and what I can safely put down."
— Emily, Freelance Designer & SOS Solo user
