We were enlisted to help build Apple’s latest global brand platform all about the way we work. Through a series of 15-second videos, digital assets, and a library of global translations, we express what it feels like to work on a Mac—fast, fluid, powerful, and (dare we say) fun.

We started with an in-depth analysis of a frustrating moment in modern technology: the Blue Screen of Death. And created a graphic language to communicate Coinbase’s commitment to Updating the System. This language found its way into TV spots, online adverts, and publicity stunts.

Gold or nothing, we built a world inspired by the Golden Sunshine of the Northern California coast, as well as the iconic trophies the team was playing for.
Our system took over the stadium that night, inviting the audience to be a part of the exclusive Coinbase takeover.

We partnered with Tom to build an NA-beer brand—one just as at home in elite clubs as it is in British pubs, and on grocery store shelves everywhere—a brand that proves it’s just as real as the kings of the beverage, which led us to introduce BERO as the rightful heir of beer’s next chapter.
Each element of the brand tells a part of his story, from the humble trout (the symbol of his hometown of Kingston) to the flavor names inspired by his journey.

They both take their wine and process very seriously, so they needed a label and a brand that could be trusted and reveered. Luckily, they don’t take themselves seriously. So we built a brand that finds the balance.

Butter is a new cannabis company rooted in Michigan that makes high quality products with the aim of spreading knowledge, community, and love. Together we are on a mission to change the perception of weed being an underground solo activity to something that can be connective and widely enjoyed.
We worked with butter to create a brand centered around the authentic use of cannabis and the joy it brings to those who consume it together. If we can improve people’s individual lives with cannabis, we can make the world a better collective place.
Our vision is to build the first mainstream, mass market cannabis brand, spreading a butter way of life to all (over 21).

The mark was inspired by timeless surf brands of the past and present with the omni-present blue inspired by lifeguard shack all around the coast.
The lockers themselves were custom fabricated and assembled on-site, with locations in Santa Barbara and Austin so far.
