Brand and Marketing Development

Seeking Simplicity: We work with many different clients who have many different objectives. Common among them all is a need to tell their stories—to transform ideas and strategies into distinctive visual and verbal expressions, to connect them with their customers and to differentiate them from their competition.

CLIENT:

StylishHome.com

 

PROJECT:

Stylish Home was founded by two entrepreneurs with a long history of online retailing. Their new retail site was to be a home décor portal, which offered decorating advice, remodeling tips, a social networking component and a store. 

 

WHAT WE DID:

The assignment for designojo was to establish an overall “look and feel” for the brand and its online presence. We created the brand identity, visual identity and a web site, with a highly functional style, that was both sophisticated and user-friendly.

about us*

get big without big agency

How We See Things: We believe the truest measure of a great design studio isn’t a cool lobby, over-the-top holiday gifts for clients, or platoons of account executives. Rather, we think great design comes from curious designers who understand how strategy informs design and that each and every assignment has a business objective at its heart.

Local, but Always Thinking Global.

We don’t follow the typical agency model of brick-and-mortar offices scattered around the globe. But we do believe that viewing our work through a global lens is essential. Our staff works on four continents and speaks 10 languages. Our designers typically have more than a decade of experience, including the hard-won wisdom that comes from working at the big agencies.

CLIENT:

Heifer International

 

PROJECT:

Heifer International is a global agency with a mission to end hunger. Over its 60 plus years its brand had become fragmented and its visual identity worldwide needed to be solidified. The assignment was to reassess the brand at every level and implement a program that would be adopted by all of its offices, worldwide. 

 

WHAT WE DID:

Following a comprehensive audit, a new brand identity was created that was the true expression of founder Dan West’s passion and energy. The leaping cow logo was then carefully applied to every brand touchpoint, numerous print and digital applications and a brand style guide.

Brand Reposition

Process is the journey, not the destination. Our process facilitates great work, open dialouge, and clear expectations. Nothing less. And nothing more. We believe in a process that clarifies information, uncovers opportunities, and solidifies your brand positioning. Period.

expertise, range, insight

 

 

Endless Curiousity

Simple, clear and fluff-free. We do our homework before every assignment. We'll review market research if you've got it. We'll conduct consumer sessions if you'd like us too. And we'll immerse ourselves in your business. At the end of the day it is about how one interperts the information visually, not simply to justify the research but to see the opportunities that lie beyond what the research makes obvious.
