In early 2019 we were tasked with bringing Founder of Cinch Skin Renee Moore’s brand vision to life. This included brand strategy, a full day shoot, a new e-commerce website build, copywriting and social media assets. Since then Cinch has appointed St Dakota to take care of the day to day creative - and we have to say we’re pretty wrapped.

Absolute dream team. Sarah and Mike just seemed to know what I wanted (even though at times I didn't even know what I wanted). They are passionate, proactive, hardworking, professional, visionary - look I could go on forever but for now I will just say wow - so glad we worked together. Thank you for bringing Cinch 2.0 to life! x

‘Coffee-preneur’s’ Mike and Chris approached us to be the creative duo behind their amazing coffee van “Bernie”, a 1962 model HY. While it was being imported to Australia from the UK we got stuck into the project - brand and social media strategy, logo design, an icon for merchandise and other business collateral like business cards and social media assets.
Simple and classic vintage typography was our true north for Big Shot. We’re over the moon with the results - as is Bernie.

Both Mike & Sarah were full of excitement for our business venture, and whilst Sarah was already flowing with ideas on marketing strategies and target markets, Mike was bursting with conceptual & visionary delights for our logo design. Their enthusiasm combined with their expertise in their respective fields had us sold, and from that first meeting our brand design began.
