Your inner brand watches kung fu movies and therefore knows kung fu

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.

Earlier this year, our team took a trip up to Conn Earlier this year, our team took a trip up to Connecticut for a project kickoff and website workshop with the @avontheatrefilmcenter team! Our client meetings are always exciting—with valuable insights, creative processes, and ... shark sightings? Guess you could say we really dove into the project 🦈
If the music’s any indication, we were definitel If the music’s any indication, we were definitely having a blast at our latest shoot with our client @edgewisetherapeutics!

We're serious about branding, but not that serious ... seriously. We bring the energy (and the fun) to every shoot. From strategy, visuals, content creation, and beyond, we make sure every project is packed with creativity, collaboration, and a whole lot of good vibes. Plus, we got to explore all things Boulder, Colorado along the way. Jealous?

At Second Melody, we’re proud to work across ind At Second Melody, we’re proud to work across industries, but today we recognize our biotech and pharma clients dedicated to advancing care, potential treatments, scientific breakthroughs, and advocating for meaningful change for the rare disease community.

We’re honored to be part of their journeys, and we look forward to the milestones ahead. Together, we’re making a difference.

The Form

Reach out. We’ll reach right back.

We’re a ‘virtual shop with options’ located mostly in the great state of New Jersey where we hijacked a house built in the 1860s and turned it into a studio space designed for creative debauchery.
