Approach
Be bold.
We operate under the assumption that your customer is not paying attention and does not care about you. You must be clear, loud and bold.
Guided by culture.
We are informed by the cultural context of every project—plugged into the prevailing zeitgeist, we are able to predict and embrace change in ways that data-driven analysis cannot.
Distill, then amplify.
The core of what we do is distilling a brand to its essence, discarding the extraneous, then amplifying what’s unique and ownable.
Design with purpose.
We believe the separation between strategy and design is an artificial divide. While we often discuss brand strategy in isolation, it is hard-wired into every creative gesture we make.
No silos allowed.
We believe that siloed capabilities can breed predictable and uninspiring results. Every Concrete team-member wears many hats. Designers write. Planners strategize. And we constantly bounce ideas off each other.
Execution is Important
We “make things”. A big idea is essential, but executing real-world assets with precision is how brands come alive.
