Two Are is a creative studio based in Brooklyn, New York. We build brands for new ideas. Founded in 2021 by two people in apartment 2R, our approach emphasizes collaboration, thoughtfulness and quality craftsmanship. We invest the time up front to ensure you have an identity that makes an impact and stands out for years to come.

We’ve created brands for companies big and small, early and established, across a wide range of industries. Common among these projects is a passion for working with exceptional people committed to bringing new ideas to life. Our team is intentionally small, which enables us to focus on a select batch of projects while building long-term relationships with our clients.

We are led by curiosity and unbound by industry conventions. Not tied to one industry allows us to dynamically across spaces to build brands that break from the norm and distinguish themselves from the competition. Our founders hail from top creative agencies and startups, bringing a wealth of experience to our work. With expertise on both sides of the relationship, we know what it takes to create a successful brand. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to work together to help you bring your new ideas to life.

Studio — Two Are

We don't believe that it's enough for a brand to simply feel at home within a category. Our goal is always to create brands that stand out and make a immediate impact—yet continue to resonate with customers and culture for years to come. Here is our simple and intentional approach to making this happen.

01 — Knowledge is Power

The first step in developing your brand is getting to know you. We pride ourselves in working across a variety of industries so we can bring an unique perspective that sets you apart from competition. That being said, we still need to know what we’re talking about, so our first step is to learn about you, your product, your peers, your competition, what you love, what you hate, what your customers love and hate, all for the goal of creating something truly resonant and impactful.

02 — No Bad Ideas (at First)

The focus of this phase is to sketch and going wide with the brainstorming process. The goal is to generate as many ideas as possible without any judgement. The key is to be open-minded and creative, and to explore a variety of different concepts—even if they seem far-fetched or unlikely. This is an essential part of the process, as it allows for new and unexpected ideas to emerge, and helps to push the boundaries of what's possible.

03 — Forged in Fire

In this phase, the best ideas are refined and developed further, while weaker ones are set aside. This process is essential for creating a strong and effective brand identity, as it allows us to hone in on the most promising ideas and transform them into thoughtful, complete design solutions that clearly express your brief. This refining process will continue over subsequent rounds of revisions, through collaboration with our clients and partners. Through this iterative process of refining and collaborating, we can create an identity that not only answers the brief but exceeds expectations.

04 — Taking Your First Steps

In this final phase, we team up with our clients to launch this new brand identity into the world. This phase is all about bringing the identity to life and ensuring that it resonates beyond the Brand Guidelines. Our team can provide guidance and support throughout the launch process, and continue to be a partner into the future to refine and evolve the identity as it grows. Through this partnership, we help our clients take their first steps towards achieving their vision and creating a lasting impact in their industry.
