About CLEVK

We build the system, then hand you the keys.

CLEVK is an implementation studio. Not an agency that reports, not a reseller that rents you software — we install the thing that runs your business and leave it in your name. We started in 2024 as Storm Brand Labs; the work credited to that name is ours, and the people behind it are the same.

The rename wasn't a reinvention. It was the point where the work stopped being "websites and branding" and became systems that run without us — booking that takes appointments while you sleep, follow-up that recovers the no-show, dashboards that show the number instead of the impression.

How we got here

Nobody set out to start an agency.

Chapter 01

We were the ones losing the appointments.

Kevin spent years inside cruise travel and airline support — industries where a booking is the entire product and a dropped enquiry is a seat that sails empty. Carlos spent his running paid media, watching clients pour money into ads that pushed people toward a phone nobody answered.

Same problem from two directions: the demand was never the bottleneck. What broke was everything after the click.

Chapter 02

Storm Brand Labs, and what it taught us.

In 2024 we started building. A donation platform in three languages for a foundation supporting children in Haiti. A ticketing site that had to survive traffic arriving in hours. A sponsorship microsite that had to convince a corporate committee. A dashboard that turned a hydroponic facility's numbers into something an investor could read.

Every one shipped. And every one taught the same lesson: clients didn't come back asking for a prettier site. They came back asking why the system stopped working three months later.

Chapter 03

So we built our own first.

Before selling anyone an AI system, we built one for ourselves — a governed command centre where every automated action carries an authority level, and anything touching money, deletion or a real person stops and waits for a human.

It caught its own mistake during a large reorganisation: an automated step included paths it shouldn't have, and the verification layer stopped it before another file moved. Zero data lost. That checkpoint is what we actually sell — not a process that never errs, one that stops itself.

Chapter 04

The name changed. The obsession didn't.

CLEVK is what Storm Brand Labs became once we admitted what we were good at. Not making businesses look better — making them stop leaking.

We still hand over the keys at the end. Accounts in your name, vendors paid direct. If you never speak to us again, nothing switches off. That isn't generosity; it's the only way we know to prove the thing works without us in the room.

The founders

Two people who sold before they built.

Both of us came to this from the revenue side, not from design. That's why the questions we ask first are about where the money leaks — and why we refuse to build something nobody asked for.

The team

Two founders, one team, three regions.

We're not two people with freelancers. There's a core team behind the work, distributed on purpose across Florida, Colombia and Europe — which means the work follows the clock rather than an office, and a client in Miami and a client in Madrid both get someone awake.

Region 01 North America Florida. Where we meet clients, and the time zone most of them keep.
Region 02 Latin America Colombia. Native Spanish delivery — not a translated version of an English process.
Region 03 Europe The hours that are already over by the time Florida wakes up.
What we're after

Small businesses deserve the systems big ones buy.

A clinic loses the same appointment a hospital would — it just has nobody to build the thing that catches it. The tools stopped being expensive years ago; what's still missing is someone who installs them properly and then leaves. That's the whole business.

01 You own it Accounts in your name, vendors paid directly, no markup. If you never speak to us again, nothing switches off.
02 Truth over impact Every number we publish comes from a file we can open. What we can't measure, we say we can't measure.
03 We say no If booking won't fix your problem, we'll tell you before you pay us — and we've lost work saying it.

Want to know if we're the right fit?

Twenty minutes, no deck. We'll tell you what we'd do and what it would cost — or that you don't need us.
