| Mission | Connect |

Ideas are dangerous. They threaten the status quo and fly in the face of preconceived notions, trends and sacred cows. Great ideas have the power to change everything. At M-80, we’re idealists. We believe that brands should be, above all, authentic. And that authenticity should be celebrated in ways that disrupt and agitate, and leave an indelible mark on the world.

Services

– Brand Design

We believe in creating engaging marks of distinction. That said, as important as the integrity and rationale for the marks themselves, is the connection people feel for them. M-80 creates custom trademarks inspired by emotion and designed for people to love.

– Advertising

Brands aren’t what you say they are, they’re what audiences say they are. That means listening to and valuing the ways brand-loyalists feel about the products or services they love. M-80 creates campaigns that cross principles with engaging design to tell authentic human stories your brand can own.

– Packaging

Although often overlooked, for many companies the packaging is the brand, advertising, and product all in one. M-80 creates packaging solutions that subvert typical ways we experience products and deliver engaging messages that involve consumers.

– Apparel

The act of wearing a t-shirt might be a brands greatest compliment. For that reason the visual story must deliver in an environment informed by fashion and one’s own personal expression. M-80 creates graphics with aficionados in mind and authentic stories to be worn.

– Interactive

According to the IDC, the internet is where media users spend the most time (32.7 hours per week). That means once they’ve heard about you, they’ll want to clarify who you are, or what your product is all about. Having an online strategy for your brand experience is not an option, it’s essential for new audiences to connect. M-80 designs modular and micro interactive experiences that cater to the immediate relationship between products and audiences.
