Art Direction

Art direction is what makes your brand feel like one thing, not a collection of unrelated pieces. It's the thread between your photography, your colour choices, your packaging and your Instagram grid. When it's done well, people recognise your brand before they read your name.

Most projects start with a moodboard session where we figure out the visual territory together. Not what looks trendy, but what feels right for your audience and your positioning. From there, everything flows: shoot direction, layout principles, colour and composition rules that your team can actually use.

The goal isn't a beautiful Pinterest board. It's a visual system that works when you're not in the room. Something your team, your photographer, your printer can pick up and execute consistently without calling you every time.

Brand Identity & Systems

A logo is the start, not the finish. A brand identity is the full system: logo, colours, typography, icons, templates, guidelines. It's what makes your business look like it knows what it's doing, whether someone sees you on a business card, a website or a trade show banner.

The process always begins with understanding where you sit in your market. Who are your competitors, what do they look like, and where's the gap? Only once that's clear do we start sketching. It takes longer to get right, but the result is something that holds up over years rather than months.

At the end you get a brand book, an asset library and enough templates to hit the ground running. Not a folder of files you'll never open. A system your team can actually use from day one.

Web Design & Digital Products

A website should do two things: look like your brand and convert visitors into clients. That sounds simple but most studio websites are one or the other. We build custom sites in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No templates, no page builders. Every line of code is written for your brand, your content and your conversion goals.

Every project starts with wireframes, not Figma mockups. Structure first, then visuals. Mobile-first, because that's where most of your traffic comes from. We handle SEO setup, structured data, analytics and CMS so the site actually performs, not just looks good in a case study.

You get a live, editable website at the end. Not a static design file and a developer bill. And we set up a simple CMS so your team can update content without touching code.

Digital Strategy & Positioning

Strategy is the bit most studios skip because it doesn't look good in a portfolio. But it's the reason some brands work and others don't. Before touching any design tool, we figure out who you're talking to, what they care about and why they should choose you over the competition.

That means competitive audits, audience research, positioning workshops and a creative brief that the entire project is built on. It's not glamorous work, but it's the foundation. Every colour, every font choice, every layout decision traces back to this document.

If you're entering a crowded market or planning a rebrand, this is where the money is. The brands that last aren't the prettiest. They're the ones that understood their positioning first.

AI Creative & Automation

AI is changing how creative work gets done, but most businesses don't know where to start. They either ignore it or throw tools at the problem without a strategy. We help you figure out which parts of your workflow actually benefit from AI, then design and implement the systems to make it happen.

That can mean building AI-powered content pipelines that turn one piece of content into twenty. Setting up automated workflows that handle repetitive creative tasks your team shouldn't be doing manually. Training AI agents on your brand voice so outputs stay consistent. Or integrating the right tools into a production process that actually works, not just a demo that looks impressive in a meeting.

The point isn't to replace your team. It's to free them from the tasks that slow them down so they can focus on the work that requires a human brain. Most creative processes have a lot of repetitive steps nobody questions. Once you automate those, everything else gets faster.

Social & Content Branding

Most businesses know they should be posting on social media but struggle to make it look consistent with the rest of their brand. That's what a social branding system solves. Templates, formats, guidelines and a visual tone that your team can execute without needing a designer for every post.

We define your content pillars, design the templates for each format (feed, stories, carousels, reels covers) and set up a visual rhythm so your grid doesn't look like five different people are running it.

The goal is autonomy. You shouldn't need to call a designer every Tuesday to post something. A good social system gives your team the confidence and the tools to publish consistently, on-brand, on their own.

Packaging Design

Packaging is where your brand becomes something people can hold. It's also one of the hardest things to get right because it has to work at every distance: on a shelf from two metres, in someone's hand, and in an Instagram flat lay.

We think about the retail context first. What's next to your product on the shelf? What does the competition look like? Then we work through structure, materials, label hierarchy, colour-coding for product ranges and regulatory requirements. Not the most exciting part, but getting it wrong is expensive.

You get print-ready files, dielines, mockups and a system that scales when you add new products. Not a one-off design that breaks the moment you launch a second flavour.

01 No pitch. Free.

Discovery

Every project starts with a conversation. We discuss your brand, your goals, your audience and your timeline. No pitch deck, no pressure. If there's a good fit, we send a detailed proposal within 48 hours with scope, deliverables, timeline and pricing. You know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.

02 Research first.

Strategy

Before opening any design tool, we research. Competitive audit, market positioning, audience analysis, brand architecture. We define who you are, who you're not, and where the white space is. The output is a creative brief and positioning document that becomes the foundation for every visual decision.

03 Iterative.

Design

Identity creation, art direction, iterative refinement. You get structured feedback rounds at every milestone. We don't disappear for weeks and come back with a reveal. You see concepts, you react, we sharpen. The brand takes shape through conversation, not in isolation.

04 Day one ready.

Delivery

Brand book, complete asset library, production files, custom web build, social media templates. Everything packaged, documented and ready to deploy. Your team can execute from day one without waiting for us. We hand over a system, not a collection of files.

05 We don't leave.

Support

The project is delivered but the partnership continues. New campaign assets, website updates, social content batches, brand extensions. Most of our clients stay on a monthly creative retainer. Your brand keeps evolving with someone who already knows it inside out.

Sport & Endurance Tech, AI & SaaS Hospitality & Lifestyle Corporate & Consulting
[branding for athletes]

We've built brands in the endurance sports world from day one. Pyrene, a premium sports nutrition brand designed from naming to packaging and full digital ecosystem. Ultra Bike France, an ultra-cycling event series we completely rebranded. Pace, a triathlon coaching platform.

We know what it takes to speak to athletes: the visual codes of performance, the tension between raw grit and premium positioning, the community-driven storytelling that makes a sports brand stick. Nutrition line, coaching app, event or athletic wear: we've been there.

[brands for the future]

Tech moves fast and your brand needs to keep up. We work with startups, B2B platforms and SaaS products to build visual identities that translate complex value propositions into something people actually remember.

In 2026, that also means helping AI-native companies and products powered by machine learning find a visual language that feels human, trustworthy and distinct in a market flooded with generic branding. Whether you're building a developer tool, a fintech product or an AI-powered platform, we design brands that earn trust from the first touchpoint and scale as you grow from seed to Series B.

[identity meets experience]

A guest house, a restaurant, a wellness concept: these are places where brand identity becomes a physical experience. We designed the entire visual world of Le Courti, a seaside guest house in the South of France, from the entrance signage to the suite details to the digital presence.

We understand how to translate a sense of place into a brand system that works across print, environmental design, social media and web. If you're in hospitality or lifestyle, we create identities that make your guests feel something before they even arrive.

[systems that scale globally]

Large organisations need brand systems that hold together across countries, languages and teams. As Group Digital Creative Lead at Forvis Mazars, an international audit and advisory network spanning 100+ countries and 40,000+ professionals, Richard shapes the global visual identity across every digital touchpoint.

That experience directly informs how we work with corporate clients at pipopstudio: scalable brand systems, clear toolkits and guidelines that empower local teams to execute consistently without losing creative quality.

01

No middleman.

You work directly with the creative director from brief to delivery. No account managers relaying your feedback, no junior designers interpreting your vision through three layers of hierarchy. One person who understands your brand because they built it.

Le Courti® — 9.6/10 on Booking.com. Pyrene® — zero to shelf in 6 months.
02

Research before pixels.

We don't open Figma on day one. Every project starts with competitive audit, audience analysis and brand positioning. When we design, every decision has a reason behind it. That's why our brands hold up over years, not just the week after launch.

Le Courti® — same identity, 2 years and counting. Pyrene® — 4 product lines, zero redesign.
03

We stay after delivery.

Most studios hand over the files and move on. We stay. New campaign assets, website updates, social content, brand extensions. Your brand keeps evolving with someone who already knows it inside out.

Pyrene®, Pace® and Le Courti® — all three still active partnerships today.

Let's talk about your brand.
