Testimonials

“As we began to think about launching our new Accounting Firm one of the most stressful tasks we had to figure out was how do we brand ourselves and who can help us hit the ground running? After all we are a bunch of accountants so marketing and creativity is a foreign language to us.  Studio Oi came to the rescue and exceeded anything we could have imagined. Pia and her team took charge from the get go. The made us feel comfortable with their understanding of our needs and goals and were extremely caring and responsive along the way. As we went through the process of figuring out our brand, including name, logo, look, and presentation, Studio OI gave us the options we needed to make great choices. Fast forward to our official launch and everything that goes into getting a firm running, our branding was already in place and making a huge impact.  I would say not a week goes by that I don’t get an email from a friend or other professional resource complimenting our brand and asking us how we came up with the name and logo. We have Studio Oi to thank for that among other marketing materials that continue to get rave reviews. I cannot thank the team over at Studio OI enough for taking what felt like a difficult task and turning it into a huge success opening new doors for our firm all the time. I cant wait to see the impact Studio Oi will have on its other current and future clients.”

Strategy

Moving the needle between survival and success is no easy feat for most companies. Your brand strategy is the backbone of your organization and a long-term road map (with regular pit-stops) designed to achieve specific goals.

We help you deeply understand your business and better define and evaluate your brand essence and presence. For us, it’s not just about cracking the next campaign, it’s about a strategic partnership for the long term.For a strategic deep dive, our signature Brand Health Check offering can provide high-level brand insights. Whether part of a larger long-term brand strategy or leveraged periodically to stay on track, these sessions pack a punch and can uncover powerful new opportunities.

Identity

Brands as personalities - if we are asking consumers to emotionally connect with our brand, then we must be authentic, likable, engaging, and provide a meaningful experience.

Your brand identity includes visual elements such as logos, typography, color, and graphic language (shapes, patterns, iconography) and harnesses the power of language developed in your brand platform to build, or reinforce, the reputation of your brand.

Long term relationship

So how do you take your coffee in the morning?

Long term relationships are amazing when you can trust and take a leap. Let’s face it, it is a leap for you - and also for us. Finding a strategic, creative brand partner who sees you for who you are and who you can become…sometimes warts and all…is rare. Ensuring it’s a good match ♥ is in both our best interests and we are committed to going the distance. There are ups and downs in every relationship but we see ourselves as a true part of your team, an extension who has the objectivity of not being in the trenches with you every day but is truly connected to who you are. We bring experience and perspective plus the right attitude and skills to set a course for the horizon, with the agility to pivot when new opportunities or threats arise.

Regularly scheduled dates (aka meetings) help us stay in step, ensure consistency and provide the right support. While retainers mean we reserve time for you and take this into consideration before entering into new partnerships so you can trust we’ll be there for you. It also gives you priority access to our team and faster turnarounds. Ready to get serious?
