Our Approach

How we work

We pursue ambitious ideas guided by understanding and strategy.

We are multi-disciplinary, not by necessity, but by intention. Our aim is to produce world-class creative for our clients across all of our in-house disciplines. We take a client-first approach, allowing us to lead with no hidden agendas or predetermined outcomes. We recommend and activate the disciplines that provide the most strategic impact for our clients. We're trading the agency carousel, messy hand-offs, and strategy erosion for clarity, trust, and continuity.

Process

Step 1

Discovery

Whether we are building a brand from the ground up, or getting tactical with specific creative output, understanding is the cornerstone of our creative process. We're not just completing assignments for our clients, we're collaborating to carry their voice into the world. Our discovery phase is led by curiosity, asking the right questions, and listening well. This understanding creates alignment and mutual trust long before we start production.

Step 2

Strategy

With a deep understanding of a brand's DNA, voice, creative ambitions, and growth goals, we chart the course for the engagement. We make recommendations on brand development, creative direction, messaging, and maximizing reach through storytelling. This strategy provides an anchor for every creative decision and recommendation in the creative process.

Step 3

Production

With strategy clearly defined, we activate our in-house creative teams to bring the vision to life. Because we are a full-service studio, the handoff is seamless and the production process is a blast. From designing and building brands, to creating engaging digital experiences, to full-scale, on-location production, we never get tired of seeing strategic vision come to life.

Strategy

Positioning, research, naming, messaging. This is the work that happens before anything gets made. We help companies figure out what's actually true about them and how to say it in a way that matters. A lot of businesses skip this part, or treat it like a box to check. But strategy is where we find the thing that makes you different. The thread that ties everything together. Without it, even beautiful work can feel hollow.

Design

Identity systems, print, packaging, collateral, environmental. This is the visual and verbal language of who you are. The stuff people see and hold. We don't think of design as decoration. It's decision-making made visible. Every color, typeface, and layout choice is an opportunity to tell the truth about your company or to blur it. We're interested in the former.

Digital

Websites, ecommerce, apps, content systems. We build on Webflow, Shopify, and headless CMS platforms like Sanity. Your website is probably the first real experience someone has with your brand, and it should feel like you. Not like a template. Not like your competitor. We build digital work that actually represents the company behind it, and we build it to be managed by real people on your team.

Production

At Thread, production isn't an afterthought or an add-on. It's been a core piece of our identity from the start. Our team of directors and producers take the baton of creative direction and brand building and run with intention, bringing strategy and vision to life. We've traveled the world creating documentary films, commercial campaigns, and rich social content that help our clients find their audiences, build their community, and move people to action.

Campaigns

Brand awareness, education, product launches. These moments require precise intention and bold energy. This is the work that makes noise on purpose. But turning up the volume doesn't mean losing sight of who you are. We produce campaigns that will resonate deeply with your audience - because they'll feel your heartbeat in the message and your personality in the creative.
