Discovery research before any design work

UX and UI design begins with discovery research, which the firm describes as including stakeholder and user interviews. Layout sketches and user flow maps follow from that research. The agency says it wants to learn about a client's business, its target audience and its competitors, and that it looks at what competitors do right as well as what they do wrong.

Websites built to convert visitors

The agency describes its websites as user-friendly, mobile-friendly and designed to get visitors converting. The agency says each site is designed to suit a client's unique needs and goals, and that it takes time to understand the client's industry before any design is made.

Search and paid advertising

SEO is offered to improve a client's organic rankings, and pay-per-click advertising runs paid search campaigns on a client's behalf. Email marketing is listed alongside them, so that a business can keep in touch with the people its websites and advertising bring in.

Brand strategy and visual identity

Branding starts from research into the client's audience and competitors, and produces a brand vision that communicates the client's message. The firm lists brand strategy and visual identity design among its capabilities, with the aim of making a brand stand out in its market.

Experiential and brand activation work

The site lists experiential work, which covers brand activations in physical settings. Examples on the site include a sustainability-driven activation during SXSW in Austin, a custom inflatable for a music festival and a mural installation, which the agency presents as part of the range of its brand work.

Pricing and approach

The firm says the firm offers flexible pricing options for businesses of different sizes, from a small business to a large corporation. It describes its approach as a boutique one, working with brands that want their message to stand out rather than blend in.
