(01) Studio

A small studio, on purpose

Twelve people in Lisbon and New York. No account managers, no juniors hidden in the back. The people you meet are the people who do the work.

(02) How we work

01

Fewer, better projects

We take on eight to ten projects a year so every one gets our full attention.

02

Senior from day one

The people in the pitch are the people in the work. Nobody is handed off.

03

Make it real early

We test ideas on shelves, phones and streets in week three, not week ten.

(05) What clients say

Portrait of a woman in a cream shirt against a dark backdrop

“They asked better questions in week one than our last agency did in a year. The new identity paid for itself before launch.”

Ana Ribeiro

Founder, Halden Coffee

“We gave them a brief for a logo and got a brand our team actually believes in.”

Head of Brand, Lumo Bank
