Our studio

Oblong + Sons thrives on creating ideas. Our work is strongly concept driven – a direct result of a finely tuned, collaborative process. With a passion for great design and a commitment to sustainable practices, we will continually strive to deliver the highest calibre of design with the smallest impact on the environment.

The strength of our ideas is what sets us apart from regular design studios.

We understand that every job we do has a purpose that transcends the design. Right from the word go, we view our jobs from the end user’s perspective so we have a clear idea of the outcome we need to achieve. Our work will often vary in both scope and variety but, in every instance, a solid and structured concept makes the difference between a good looking design and an outcome that gives our clients the best possible results.

As such, we have developed a very successful collaborative process that keeps our work at a consistently high level and the ideas sprouting like it’s spring all year round. Combining the knowledge, experience and creativity of our whole team with extensive research, we devise a single-minded, overriding concept to base all your marketing materials on. From here the design falls into place – conveying one strong, consistent message directly to your target market.

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 coming back.

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.

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.
