From Startup to Scale  /  Deep dive 01 · Brand & Identity

A brand that grew up to stand with the giants.

When I arrived, Frequence looked the part of a startup — Bebas Neue headlines and a loud orange palette. To pitch Nexstar, Hearst, and the biggest media companies in the country, the brand had to mature. I led it through three evolutions and built a full system spanning film, print, web, research, and trade shows.
