Studio Mission

(Purpose)

Beauty in good things

We believe in a world where brands enrich people’s lives and change the world. As brand makers, we drive this change by connecting companies, visions, and people. We look for authenticity in all things, then strive for beauty to preserve goodness.

(Manifesto)

(01)

More than an advertising agency

We are a design studio where strategists and creatives work together in pursuit of excellence.

(02)

Simple. Beautiful.

We make things simple – but not simpler. We define simple as: useful for everyone. When we pull back the curtains and strip away the fluff, things get exciting … it’s not as easy as you’d think.

(03)

Think first, design later

A strong brand starts with clear thoughts and the right team. We create with good plans, not good luck. We don’t do last-minute meetings or find inspiration on the toilet.

(04)

United we brand

A solid business culture is paramount. Excellent work requires great minds. We are pioneers and companions at once. Honestly, doing it together is more fun.

(05)

We work for YOUR clients

Leave no friend behind. A brand comes to life when the messaging resonates within every level of the organization.

(06)

But first – Research

Quick, cheap solutions do not turn lead into gold. To get to the heart of the matter, we have to find it. The right answers come when we ask the right questions.

(07)

A people business

Employees are our best asset. Outstanding talent and personalities are rare specimens, so please be kind.

(08)

Too good to fade

A timeless design is one that is durable and follows its own style. This saves resources and fulfills all three sustainability pillars. Whenever possible, we source climate-friendly materials and production methods.

(09)

No quickies here

We value authentic relationships. This requires a sustainable framework. We make important decisions based on values and consensus. This is how we grow great talent.

(10)

We take you seriously

Our moral compass guides us to give honest advice, share transparent processes, and honor deadlines. A myth for some, lofty ideals for others, daily business for us.

(11)

Totally unified

We work with specialists to create the best possible translation of your brand. This is good for your project with efficient quality and leaner processes. You won’t even notice it in the best-case scenario.

(12)

Competent craftsmanship

We admire and harness the power of master craftsmanship – in our own work and with our partners. This is a valuable analog counterpoint in a digital world.

(13)

Quality is an attitude

We value quality above all else and strive for excellence and longevity.

(14)

Best Served Bold

We don’t just look at the stars; we shoot for them. Change requires boldness and a pair of boots that go the extra mile. This is our value proposition to you.

(15)

Show, don’t tell

When others beat around the bush, we get right to work to show you that the proof is in the pudding.

(16)

Form follows story

We develop solutions from your authentic story as the logical development of Sullivan’s “form follows function.”

(17)

In good company

We welcome the input and insight of all concerned parties, including the diverse opinions of employees and customers.

(18)

Home run

We accompany our clients all the way to home base because we grow with your success.

(19)

A family affair

We are and will always remain an independent and owner-managed family business.

(20)

Stay curious!

We welcome future trends and new technologies, using them skillfully to achieve your goals.

(21)

Never ending branding

Branding is an investment in your company’s future growth which requires change. We know branding pays off, provided you take it seriously and keep going the distance.
