Your inner brand thinks the floor is lava

Let's see more of that.

Watch Our Reel

We see you. 
Everyone else will too.

A branding studio by name, we believe in the power of design, the magic of stringing together the perfect sentence and digging deep to unearth all the weird and amazing things that make you unique and irresistible to your audiences.

We build brands you can lead with, brands you can outright own and brands that are unmistakably and uncannily you.

Our friends call us 2M.
You can too. M. Get it?

The Work

Drawing the lines with every intention of coloring outside of them (sometimes with the smelly markers).

We are industry agnostic but specific in our need to work with people driven by passion for their craft. Meaningful relationships breed beautiful work. See for yourself.

Fireside Confessions (You know how the moon gets on nights like these)

November brings that refreshing chill in the air. As the sun sets earlier, the moon rises high, casting a soft glow over the scene. It’s a cozy mix of warmth from the fire and the magic of a clear night sky that makes these moments unforgettable.

We explored three unique identities for Well Throu We explored three unique identities for Well Through Sport, a Nike initiative in New York, spanning across Chicago, LA, and Canada. The identities were inspired by the team’s selected moodboard that consisted of bright pastels and wavy patterns. The goal was to capture a youthful, vibrant essence while visually representing mental health and sport. 
We enjoyed crafting creative ways to tell the Well Through Sport narrative. 🎊

Job candidates strive to find opportunities where Job candidates strive to find opportunities where career growth is at the forefront, right?

Nonprofit KenCrest saw this as a priority and an opportunity to attract new talent.
Our team partnered with the organization to create a culture campaign promoting professional growth and positioning KenCrest as an employer you can have pride in, inspiring others to join.

Beyond the campaign, our brand department gave KenCrest a fresh new look with a visual identity extension, including a revised logo wordmark, full-color palette, image treatments, and patterns.
