The original scope covers the Meridian Foods brand identity system — primary logo, secondary mark, color palette, typography, and brand usage guidelines — as defined in our March 3 agreement. What you've described — a pitch deck template and social media kit — is additional work beyond that. I'm glad to take it on. Here's what it would involve: • Investor pitch deck template (12–16 slides, branded) • Social media kit: 8 Instagram/LinkedIn templates Additional fee: $2,310 Timeline: 4–5 business days once approved I've attached Change Order #CO-001 for your records. To proceed, just reply with your approval — I'll send an invoice for the first 50% ($1,155) and get started once that clears. Let me know if you have questions.
