Services

  • Media Relations

    With dedicated and longstanding editorial relationships, we position our clients within the most influential design and luxury lifestyle media. We are constantly vetting and exploring outlets, so our clients are represented on an array of platforms – in print, digital, broadcast and social media – with stories that are original and compelling. Our close collaborations with editors, journalists, and digital creators result in high-value earned media placement – from profiles and features to expert takes and appearances.

  • Brand Messaging

    We create clear, compelling narratives that connect with audiences and define a brand’s place in the market. By exploring a brand’s history, legacy, and intent, we distill its core elements – from creative direction to style and voice – expressing what makes it truly distinctive. In close collaboration with teams and stakeholders, we ensure every message supports our clients’ strategic goals and resonates across all communications, defining a unique point-of-view that is consistent and memorable.

  • Brand Communications

    A fresh point of view, articulated with an original voice, can elevate a brand and sharpen its relevance. An essential part of our role is to help clients define the best strategy for every channel and tailor communication to suit each purpose – from media and social to creative collateral and email campaigns. We approach each project holistically, shaping cohesive messaging across print, digital, video, and live environments. The result is a seamless brand story that is thoughtful, effective, and aligned at every touchpoint.

  • Social Media

    Social media requires an informed approach. We treat it as a specialty, with an in-house team that produces curated, visually engaging content guided by a cohesive strategy. As new platforms emerge, we assess their value and incorporate them as appropriate. Drawing on our experience in high-level talent representation, we understand what enthusiasts, communities, and media outlets seek from the brands and personalities they follow. We translate that insight into posts, videos, and content that motivates engagement.

  • Engagements & Event Activations

    From intimate dinners and exclusive gatherings to retail launches and large-scale celebrations, we tailor our comprehensive range of event services, from concepting to guest list development to full event production. Working across a global calendar of events, we identify meaningful opportunities for activations that bring creatives, media, and tastemakers together. Whether it’s a private party, speaking engagement, or industry panel, we fashion memorable experiences that cultivate connection.

  • Creative & Design

    We bring our clients’ creative vision to life through imagery and storytelling. In collaboration with a network of leading creatives – art directors, designers, photographers, filmmakers, and writers – we design and produce elevated brand assets and campaigns tailored to a range of scales and budgets. Working with an established team, we deliver a broad range of deliverables from brand identity and collateral to social content and websites, developing innovative and appealing creative across print, digital and social channels.

  • Designer & Influencer Relations

    The influencer marketing landscape is expansive and constantly evolving. We navigate it together, helping our clients define their influencer marketing goals, identify the right partners, and build custom programs that complement broader sales and marketing efforts. We leverage our significant reach amongst the design community to make invaluable connections for our clients, supporting a range of sales and marketing efforts. We create campaigns, make outreach, and break down the analytics so that purpose and value drive every decision.

  • Partnerships

    We are champions of connection. We work with both brands and designer clients to explore collaborations and creative synergy. From singular one-time opportunities such as co-hosting an industry event or deeper investment initiatives like collaborations and licensing agreements, we shape the concept, negotiate the terms, and oversee execution. Our team is actively focused on discovering the best, brand-aligned partners who can bring new dimension to a client’s story.

  • Book Development

    We work with clients to tell the stories of their lives and careers. Serving as advisors and development editors, we surface the key themes in their work and personal histories to develop substantive and thoughtful book proposals and short-list the best publishing partners. Guiding the process from idea to publication, we create and execute full-service communications campaigns to support each new release, providing on-going guidance and support throughout.

  • Consulting

    For clients who prefer to engage this way, we offer targeted, strategic consulting services across all facets of marketing, communications, and public relations. We act as confidential advisors lending our decades of experience to provide personalized guidance and support tailored to each specific client engagement. In this capacity, we oversee a range of individualized special projects, bringing industry insight and creative expertise to deliver bespoke solutions to unique client challenges.
