Notes on branding, design, and where AI fits

Written by the people doing the work, including the arguments we haven't settled.

Editorial note

Why we write this

Plenty of agency blogs are written for a search algorithm, and you can tell in the first paragraph. We use this one to think out loud about what's changing in our work, and what isn't.

If you're trying to decide how seriously to take any of it, you'll get more from a post here than from another list of ten AI tools you need this year.

What you'll find

01 // TOPIC

Branding and strategy

Naming, positioning, identity decisions, and why we made them.

02 // TOPIC

Design

What's working on screens and in print right now, and what's trend-chasing.

03 // TOPIC

AI and digital strategy

Where AI helps, where it doesn't, and how SEO, GEO, and AEO keep shifting.

04 // TOPIC

Opinions

Takes on branding and marketing, including the ones agencies usually keep to themselves.

Latest

New posts when there are new posts.

That's the entire email strategy.

Two quick questions

01

Why does a design agency have a blog?

Because how we think matters more to the people who hire us than one more portfolio image.

02

How often do you publish?

Whenever we settle an argument or learn something useful on client work. We don't publish to hit a calendar metric.
