The strength of our ideas is what sets us apart.
Nurturing and growing these ideas is somewhat of an organic process for us. Sunlight, water, partial shade and some howling Bon Jovi-esque power ballads normally do the trick. We’re not livin’ on a prayer, but it is true that good ideas often benefit from more than one input, and if we keep the faith, so do we.
Our directors are designers with years of experience, so our entire approach is, and always will be, founded on good design.
Mixing this with a talented creative team, meticulous attention to detail and the right attitude produces original and creative visuals that keep our clients happy and target markets engaged.
We place great value on research and have developed a successful collaborative design process that keeps our work at a consistently high level and the ideas sprouting like it’s spring all year round. This keeps us focused on fresh concepts tailored to individual projects, giving each one a vibrancy that buzzes for attention.
We’re also proactive in keeping our clients in the loop throughout the life of projects to ensure deadlines and budgets are always met without fuss. The best part about this is that decisions can be made instantly and problems resolved without delay. Some courts may call it “stalking”, but we call it a healthy business-to-business relationship.
The eight broad areas in which we offer services are:
- Branding
- Publications
- Promotional
- Online
- Digital campaigns
- Mobile applications
- Signage
- Copywriting
Along with our own in-house design, marketing and copywriting abilities, Oblong has branched out with a wide network of reliable allied professionals including illustrators, copywriters, photographers, and media and marketing consultants. With these skillful friends ready and waiting in the wings, larger jobs are taken on without hesitation, even if they require a wide variety of skills and production techniques.
Our almost disturbing passion for great design is only matched by our love and commitment towards sustainable practices. If sustainable practices were a person and if Oblong were a person, we would be a happily married couple with three recyclable kids and a carbon neutral golden retriever. We are acutely aware of the powerful impact the design industry can have on the environment and society and are playing our part to minimise this while developing new and more sustainable ways.
After all, design is not just about making pretty pictures, but producing intelligent and worthwhile outcomes too.
