Lab Note 1.0 ✦ How to Prescribe Your Own Copy Compound

Not every brand fits inside a tidy little vial. Some arrive volatile. Luminous. Hard to pin down. They resist the usual doses because they aren’t made for mass formulation - they’re made to be mixed.

If you’ve looked through the Dispensary shelf and found yourself thinking, "We’re not quite this… but we’re close. We need a little of that, a touch of this, and maybe something weird that isn’t listed anywhere," then congratulations. You might just be a Custom Compound.

This isn’t about being difficult or undecided. It’s about being specific. FORMULIST™ exists to bottle that specificity. Here’s how to tell if your brand needs its own custom dose.


☼ Symptom 01: You want a little of everything.

You’re not in the market for a single service. You need a blend.
An About page rewrite, yes — but also a clutch of captions, a punchy CTA, maybe a few product descriptions.
You know what you’re trying to say. You just need someone to help say it — cleanly, cohesively, and all in one place.

☼ Symptom 02: You know what it should feel like, but you’re not sure what you need.

You have references, screenshots, and perhaps even a voice note where you talk it all out while in the car or on a walk. You’ve got moodboard energy, but not a defined deliverable list… yet.

This is your formulation stage. We’re good at decoding creative static.

☼ Symptom 03: You want FORMULIST™ precision — but on your own terms.

You’re not seeking permission, or for an agency trying to upsell you on strategy retainers or monthly meetings.

You already know your business. You just need the exact right words — distilled, dosed, and delivered.


The FORMULIST™ Prescription Path

  1. Start the intake.
    Choose the Custom Compound path from the Dispensary.
    Think of it like bottling a scent: include notes, mood, energy. You don’t need to be clinical — that’s our job.

  2. Describe your brand’s current state.
    Tell us what you’re working with. Where things feel misaligned. What you’ve tried before that didn’t land. How you want your words to sound, smell, sit on the skin of your audience.

  3. Receive your tailored prescription.
    After review, we’ll send you a clean outline: recommended deliverables, transparent pricing, and suggested sequencing.
    No vague timelines. No padded invoices. No calls unless truly required.

    FORMULIST™ Custom Compounds are built for nuance.
    For the clients who want something specific and something stunning.
    We formulate only what’s necessary, and nothing you don’t need.

    If that sounds like you, your compound is waiting.
