OUR STORY
What if all brands
were like trees…
Making the earth healthier, the air cleaner, the world greener, and people and animals
happier. A question that we – Flip and Chella – asked ourselves.
With Brands are trees we are joining our creative forces to help those brands – like trees – to take over the world. Like a fast-growing forest!
With combined over 20 years of experience in branding, we approach developing brands from several angles and with our own experience and expertise.
We research, discover, share insights and develop unique concepts. We complement words with design, and design with words – throughout the entire branding process.
For strong brands that make the world blossom.
