“Answer me these questions three, ere the other side ye see!”
What do you want to accomplish?
How will you accomplish it?
Why should people care?
Before pen meets paper, before pixels take position, branding starts with these three key questions. The Design Office Of John Murph is a multidisciplinary creative studio dedicated to helping you articulate answers that resonate with your audience.
We pursue this mission by leveraging our most important skill: listening. With a lean structure that removes all the bureaucratic layers typical of most design agencies, we're in the perfect position to do just that.
After 30 years in the business of branding, we've learned that the less there is between you and the designers specifically working on the challenges you face, the better. After all, who understands those challenges more than you? Why filter that informed perspective through unnecessary layers of agency architecture? And why risk being leveraged and commandeered by a larger agency more interested in wining industry accolades than in creating practical solutions for you?
With this paradigm of open access and a lean posture, we pursue engaging solutions for any manner of objective. Our most successful work builds a narrative – creating a story arc around your brand. Translating a brand's position into a visceral journey, so to speak, can trigger empathetic connections that endure.
These solutions take many forms, ranging from core brand identities to packaging systems, and from promotional launch strategies to environmental design. Regardless of the medium, thoughtful, collaborative design is the essential ingredient. To quote Paul Rand, "Design broadens perception, magnifies experience, and enhances vision."
