About Us

In order for a company to have a strong presence within a competitive category, their brand must communicate with authenticity.

Immersive Process

Each customer is on-boarded with an initial Discovery Meeting. During this time we immerse ourselves in your business. We learn your industry through your eyes and do our own research to learn it from the buyer’s perspective. We work to fully understand your value proposition, your company culture, the message for the audience, and how it will be communicated. We gather as much information about the consumer’s behavior as they shop for your service.

Only then are we prepared to move forward.

Continuing Education

We are strategic thinkers and no design decision is made without reason. Our team has an innate understanding of color theory, composition, typographic hierarchy, consumer behavior and an undeniable talent for clever visual implications. We evolve our marketing strategies with the ever-changing communication environments.

Vetted Connections

We have built a network of resources that affords A3 Design the opportunity to work on projects of any size. Our network is filled with experts in their field just as we are in branding and marketing. Working with A3 allows our clients access to talent that has been vetted for strategy, professionalism and result-driven solutions.

Clear Communication

Whether you are a monthly wrap around brand services customer or you partner with us on a project basis, we work to maintain a transparent relationship. We have a successful cadence of staying in budget and on time. We consider ourselves part of your team. Clear communication from both sides is mandatory.
