Services
We envision each brand as its own unique universe. Working with carefully chosen creatives from our network, we build brand worlds from start to finish, from pinpointing target clients and overarching objectives to curating mood boards, choosing colour palettes and developing brand applications – and more besides.
① CREATIVE ART DIRECTION & PRODUCTION
We work collaboratively with brands to build bespoke creative concepts and ideas with impact. Our creative art direction begins with a complete brand audit to understand the essence of the project, establish key objectives and define a unique visual language. Building on this foundation, we work across outcomes from campaigns, e-commerce and product photography to editorial, platform branding, app and product design, to create a cohesive brand world.
② INSTAGRAM & CONTENT CREATION
Effective, economical and intimate, Instagram has become the first point of call for would-be customers. We work with brands to understand their aesthetic identity, audience, and values, and create a narrative thread, curating their Instagram feed accordingly. We specialise in creating bold, unique, impactful content which inspires a brand’s audiences, both present and potential. Our approach spans from conception and research to creative direction and execution.
③ SOCIAL RESEARCH & STRATEGY
Our approach is tailor-made for an evolving landscape. We conduct in-depth research into a brand’s audience, positioning and competitors, and create detailed strategies for how its platforms, customer and brand experiences can be used to maximise impact and engagement. From one-day digital activations to long-term experiential events, our every decision is rooted in research, making memorable, meaningful interactions.
④ CREATIVE CONSULTATION & COLLABORATION
We work in a one-on-one capacity with clients, sharing insight and ideas for impactful customer engagement, exciting brand experiences and new partnerships. Collaboration, for us, takes many forms – whether we’re working with a designer on a bespoke new product, setting a novel brief for self-published zine, partnering with an artist collective to produce an in-person exhibition or curating a creative weekend retreat. By approaching each collaboration as an extended storytelling device, CLO becomes a bridge connecting brands with creative culture.
