Approach

Great strategy is creative. And great creative is strategic. One without the other is like having an engine with no spark. That's why we're an independent, multidisciplinary brand design firm focused on bringing together the best talent to develop the best ideas.

Culture

Creativity is at the core of who we are. While rooted in strategy, we continue to seek innovative approaches to brand, design and digital. We reject the expected and strive for the unexpected. We have a foundation, a 30-year heritage—one of evolution, leadership and originality.

Process

Phinney Bischoff believes that great ideas in digital and brand design start with inviting clients directly into the creative process. We have thrown out the typical model, where the client comes to the agency, the client briefs them on the opportunity, and the creative team then goes away and comes back with pre-ordained concepts. That's the industry standard and it's broken. We have developed a much more collaborative approach, as we believe that ultimately, a transparent, more-inclusive approach creates better work. Here's why:

• Your participation in brainstorms enriches our thinking. And better thinking fuels better concepts.
• Our approach replaces potentially wasteful leaps of faith with collaborative "small reveals." This saves time and resources, getting you to market faster.
• All the reasons for having a more-inclusive approach are about enriching the design process. And all the reasons for not having the client involved are about an agency's ego or insecurities. So, your big brain is welcome here anytime.
