Hot Pepper Studios

Hot Pepper Studios is a creative studio that designs and builds brand, web and video projects, with an emphasis on social good. It says traditional branding models no longer suit audiences who use many devices and expect authenticity.

• Strategy — brand and audience engagement planning that includes mobile and community approaches.
• Social good — projects and events that encourage organisations to add a public benefit to their work.
• Web and mobile — accessible design and development across screen sizes.
• Video and motion — storytelling videos and motion graphics.
