MARGAUX / Brand Proposal Template

— ADOBE INDESIGN & CANVA —

A polished proposal can increase client sign-off rates dramatically. Be considered, every time, with the MARGAUX Brand Proposal template.

MARGAUX is a 36-page editorial brand proposal template built in the spirit of a printed monograph — warm neutrals, soft italic display type, generous white space, and a single sienna accent that does the work of ten.

Designed for boutique studios, brand designers, and creative directors who want their proposals to feel like a considered pitch — not a stock deck. Seven chapters take a client from first hello to signed agreement: the invitation, the brief, the studio, the proof, the approach, the scope, and the next step.
