THE NITTY GRITTY
Having operated the studio at different times on both coasts, The Local Brand Co. offers a forward mindset for every project. We use a West Coast optimism balanced with an East Coast analytical approach. Our process begins with dialogue, market analysis and discussions about your branding concerns. Next is the creative process of blending all the target elements together to form the visual language. Finally, production and implementation. With the new visual vernacular in place, your unique brand identity is complete, translating into increased media recognition and sales.
A pocketful of genius. Coolness in a box. A Mid-Century Modern education in 26 remarkably easy lessons. The studio’s Modernist Alphabet Flashcards were inspired by California’s MCM style. They were featured on design-centric sites Dwell, Design Within Reach and HGTV. The cards retailed at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The cards were originally created for my then 7yr old daughter to teach her about modernism.

THE ROOTS
The Beat: A Cultural Mixtape is a collaboration between The Local Brand Co. Creative Director/Illustrator Greg Chinn, Outer Voice Editor Clay Steakley and various creatives from around the US. Weighed down by the isolation and anxiety of 2020, Greg and Clay sought a way to lighten their own burdens and those of others by sharing what inspires them. The Beat's topic concepts are loosely based on Beat poetry's unstructured format and immediacy of experience. The read is quick and links to organizations we want to amplify. The Beat is dedicated to sparking new ideas and bringing people together. A version of The Beat is also available on Outer Voice.
