Why In-House and External Agencies Are Stronger Together 🤝📈 In-house or external agency? It’s a question many brands face, but the key might lie in finding a balance between the two. An in-house team lives the brand daily. They understand the core values, customer pain points, and the company culture better than anyone. But external agencies bring something equally vital: fresh perspectives, trend insights, and a relentless pursuit of creativity. When I was in-house, collaborating with DIA Studio helped us evolve our visual foundation, while CALLEN brought campaign ideas that we shaped to fit our customers and our mission. That balance let us stay authentic but still challenge the status quo. For smaller brands, balancing in-house expertise with external innovation doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a strategic plan that aligns with your budget, you can leverage this approach for maximum impact—whether you’re refining your brand voice or expanding across platforms. Here's my full take on this, over on Medium. 👉 Check out the article (https://lnkd.in/g_etuGDE) And if you’re reading this, I hope you have a great day. 👋🏿 #BrandStrategy #InHouseAgency #AgencyLife #CreativePartnerships #CustomerExperience #MarketingInnovation #CreativeSolutions See more of my posts (https://lnkd.in/eMfxnr4A)

Monkey Type: Designing Beautiful Fonts with a Playful Spirit and a Purposeful Mission Monkey Type is an innovative, independent type foundry with roots in both the bustling city of New York and the scenic mountains of Chamonix, France. What sets this creative studio apart, beyond their eye-catching fonts, is their commitment to giving back. A portion of their profits is donated to animal sanctuaries and shelters, supporting the care and rehabilitation of various animals in need. Fittingly, some of the creatures they help are monkeys—a fitting homage to the name behind the brand. After years of meticulously crafting typefaces and fine-tuning their licensing model, Monkey Type has proudly launched its official ecommerce platform, mnkytype.com. In tandem with this milestone, they have quietly unveiled the creative minds behind the foundry—the two co-founders of the renowned DIA Studio Read More: https://lnkd.in/dHnTnTjU About Monkey Type: https://mnkytype.com/klaus #bountyhuntersarchive . #graphicdesign #typography #typeface #font #typefoundry #diastudio #newyork #graphicdesigner #graphicdesigncommunity

#typography is currently being reinvented. Perhaps only now being discovered. In any case, the boring days of static characters are over. Raise the curtain on the inspiring power of #motion... Where corporate designs used to be created, kinetic identities, typographic systems and generative tools are now being developed. This is also turning the principles of logos and logotypes upside down. #brands and #branding also need to be rethought... If you want to try out what the new world of #typography has to offer, you can do so here: www.tools.dia.tv Thanks to Meg Donohoe, Managing Partner at DIA Studio and Monkey Type, access to some custom design tools has been released behind the scenes. These are normally reserved for internal research and development and for customers... Without the pioneering development of such tools, typography would be doomed to be trapped in a corset of inflexibility... #typography #logo #logotype #brands #branding #design #designthinking #art #trends #abouttrends #transformation

Why Every Brand Needs Motion Guidelines You’ve probably heard of brand guidelines — a critical asset for any brand. Perhaps just as important are motion guidelines - a visual toolkit for motion graphics and animations across brand touch-points. When implemented properly, these guidelines enhance messaging clarity, empowers creative teams and ensures brand consistency. Motion Guidelines include: • Intro/Outro Cards • Title Cards • Typography • Logo Reveals • Transitions/Behaviors • Social Post Templates Some of my favorite Motion Guidelines: • Intuit Mailchimp by DIA Studio: bit.ly/3NZShAf • Pinterest by DIA Studio: bit.ly/46NFJ7A • SeatGeek by Luke Stanley: bit.ly/46AKXTQ #branding #motionguidelines #visualidentity #marketing #brandstrategy #motiondesign
