Firmly rooted in design thinking, we offer seven innovative programs strategically created to solve the most pressing problems in business.

Our programs are solution ecosystems that deliver measurable, repeatable results.

01
FORGE:
A Brand Transformation
& Creation Program

There comes a time in every brand’s history when it must transform itself. Smart brands understand that even if your primary audience doesn’t change, the way that audience behaves over time certainly does. Attitudes, cultural context, technology—they all play a critical role in how your brand is perceived from year to year. 

FORGE, our brand transformation and creation program, is designed to help you make the powerful decision to implement a new strategy, tell a new story, and craft a new identity. FORGE offers an exciting opportunity to shape a new look and feel that announces to the world exactly why you still matter. After all, a brand transformed is a brand revived. And the start of forging a new and important chapter in your legacy.

BUILD:
A Website Design & Development Program

When a business says they need a new website, what they mean is that they have a business problem and a website might help solve it. The problem could be related to brand or marketing or sales, and when done right, a website goes beyond utility and emerges as a key part of the overall customer experience—a powerful tool that helps position your organization and shape your brand’s narrative for the market. 

BUILD, our website design and development program, is crafted using a thoughtful, process-driven approach that puts your customer—and by extension, your product and brand—at the center of every single design decision we make. Rooted in rock-solid user experience and fueled by design thinking, BUILD will push you to reimagine what a website is and does.

GAIN:
A 360° Marketing Program

Audience growth doesn’t happen by accident. Neither does keeping your core group of loyal brand evangelists engaged —the ones who’ve been coming to you for years, supporting you at every point in your journey. Instead, audience growth and retention is the result of a carefully planned marketing strategy that considers every point of customer interaction.

GAIN, our comprehensive 360° marketing program, begins with a review of your positioning, and then progresses into a deep analysis of the problem you’re solving for your customers in order to understand how they feel about your solution. We then locate where your customers gather, interact, and engage—in both physical and digital spaces— so we can deploy the right message in the right place at the right time.

Interaction design, component-based design system integration, and long-term product roadmapping ensure that each product stands out now—and later. By harnessing the power of a small team of seasoned, focused designers, SHIFT ensures a strategic path toward bringing a winning product to market.
