Deciding on what agency to work with on your branding or marketing projects, can be a difficult one. You want a reliable partner, who is not only going to nail the design but also one that will be fun to work with and communicative.
At Finn & Gray (F&G), we don’t just create; we elevate. Distinction and authenticity are the cornerstones of our approach, setting us apart in a sea of generic graphic design. We understand that your brand is more than just a name; it’s a story, a personality, a unique identity waiting to be discovered and showcased. And we are the partner that you want in your corner.
Why you need F&G
There are designers all over the world. Between freelancers and mega-giant agencies with niche specialties, it’s hard to know where to invest your time and who to trust with your brand. And as you dig in, you also find some designers who are using fleeting design trends and impersonal designs.
We saw a need and that’s why Finn & Gray offers something unique: authenticity.
Here’s how we make a difference:
Crafted by the A-Team
Our team, led by the visionary duo Ami and Amanda, offers a comprehensive suite of services and skills under one roof. We know this sets us apart. While ami rocks the brands and photos, Amanda cranks out the web, digital, and social video. There is of course overlap and we love to get into the nitty gritty over each other’s shoulders.
Our unique approach ensures that every piece of your brand’s puzzle fits perfectly together, delivering a cohesive brand experience. This is the difference between a business that survives and a BRAND that THRIVES.
“We’ve worked with other designers before but never before have we benefited from a team like F&G. They can do all the capabilities in-house which makes them faster and more efficient (and lower cost in the end). We love hitting send on emails to them because we know it will get done.”
-Melissa M
Tailored designs for lifestyle brands
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Specializing in the lifestyle, wellness, pet, direct-to-consumer, and home services sectors, we understand the nuances that make your brand and business landscape unique.
We dedicate ourselves to crafting designs that reflect your distinct identity and resonate deeply with your specific audience. With Finn & Gray, your brand gets the special attention it deserves.
The unmistakable Finn & Gray aesthetic
We can design to any style but when you collaborate with us, you’re signing up for designs with a distinctive flair – a “je ne sais quoi” that makes your brand stand out.
We don’t just design a logo, we build a brand!
What does that mean? Let’s imagine two local coffee shops. The first has a great logo but possibly the name is confusing or offers inconsistent service and no clear identity, leaving customers unsure about what to expect. The second not only has a unique logo but also a cohesive brand with a defined atmosphere, clear signage, a website that is up-to-date, consistent coffee quality, and a strong community presence. As a result, the second shop builds loyal customers who connect with its brand, while the first struggles to stand out.
We help you create who you are, what you look like, what you sound like, and why people should choose you so that you can succeed.
We don’t just take headshots, we capture your spirit and showcase your personality with interesting photos.
We don’t just build a website that works, we build ones that convert and call your customer to action.
We’re committed to transforming your vision into tangible, distinctive brand assets that catch the eye and capture the heart.
“I showed this to someone in my family and they said ‘If I had to explain your personality, your interests, your talk, and how you dress in a logo, this is what it would look like.'”
–John S.
Communication
Clarity and collaboration are the cornerstones of our core values. We ensure you’re involved and informed every step of the way, from initial concepts to final designs.
Your vision, feedback, and satisfaction are central to our work, ensuring a journey from concept to reality that is as seamless as it is enjoyable.
“Working with the Finn and Gray team is an absolute joy. Their approach to collaboration is refreshingly fun and inclusive, making every brainstorming session an adventure in creativity. The team’s vibrant energy and passion for their craft are contagious, ensuring that the journey from concept to execution is as exhilarating as it is productive.”
–Zac T.
Proven success across a variety of industries
Our portfolio speaks volumes, showcasing our ability to create, revitalize, and empower businesses across lifestyle, wellness, pet, home services and other industries.
But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to making the design process collaborative and enjoyable, transforming customers into partners.
Working with Finn & Gray was a game-changer for COEUR Real Estate Group. Their keen understanding of our needs resulted in a brand that perfectly balances professionalism and approachability. The thoughtfully designed logo, color palette, and marketing assets have set us apart in a competitive market.
