STUDIO · SERVICES

Six disciplines. One argument.

We do not sell deliverables. Each of these exists to change a specific thing about how a brand is chosen, and every one of them is evidenced by work you can read in full.

01 · BRAND STRATEGY AND POSITIONING

Find the place nobody is standing, then prove it is worth standing there.

Category audit, competitive mapping, concept testing and the written position. Made for Living: seven competitors audited end to end, one position left uncontested. Panolini: eleven brands mapped on price against protection before a single design was made.

The output is not a deck of adjectives. It is an axis, a place on it, and the evidence that the place is open.

02 · BRAND ARCHITECTURE AND NAMING

Structure so that growth never requires a new brand.

Master brands, expertise lines, markets, products and extensions. Moss: two unrelated businesses and five markets under one idea, with no sub brands required. 4Sisters: a naming system that absorbed line extensions without strain.

The test we apply is always the same. Does the word survive contact with the furthest corner of the business?

03 · IDENTITY AND DESIGN SYSTEMS

A system is finished when someone who has never met us can produce with it.

Logotype, custom typography, palette, illustration, photography direction and the guidelines that make it transferable. We draw marks rather than assemble them, and we write the rules that let a client's own team hold the line after we leave.

04 · PACKAGING

The last piece of communication before the decision, and the piece most categories throw away.

Structure, hierarchy, colour coding and the claim the shelf will actually reward. A blank bag does not build trust, does not carry a benefit and does not make anyone proud of the choice they just made.

Made for Living, Panolini, 4Sisters, Avelina, Neighbors and Tamarí all live or die here.

05 · CAMPAIGN, FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY

We shoot real people where the category shoots stock.

Platform, creative, art direction, production and out of home. Moss put its own workforce on the hoardings of the buildings they raised, then in front of a camera for the recruiting platform. Made for Living cast the joke the category is afraid of.

06 · DIGITAL, EDITORIAL AND ADVISORY

Sites built from the architecture, not around it.

Websites, ecommerce, editorial programmes, social systems and long-run advisory. At Moss the site is organised by the two expertise lines and the five markets, with the Just Cause as the through line rather than a repeated tagline. We have been their in-house agency since 2022.

HOW WE PRICE THE WORK
A structure keeps producing long after a campaign has been spent.
Which is why almost every engagement starts with strategy and architecture rather than execution. Buy the campaign first and you will buy it again next year. Buy the structure and the campaigns, the site, the recruiting platform and the events all descend from it.
