Ideas you can feel.

Culture Blender is a creative agency being built in New York by Hanwen and Xing.

We connect brand thinking, marketing and art direction, so that one idea holds across words, images and objects.

the question
How does a new studio show taste before it has clients?
the idea
One form that stays itself while its mood changes. A brand does this too.
what we made
A line, a voice, a form, a mark, a colour set and this page.
An original concept visualization: a pointed translucent aqua loop with a lilac inner layer and a polished silver edge, on a dark ground.

A little strange.
Very intentional.

One idea, many ways to live. We work across the places where a brand takes shape, so its strategy and its expression belong to the same world.

brand
positioning, naming, identity, voice, systems
marketing
campaign ideas, messaging, content, rollout
art and creative
art direction, image making, editorial, objects and experiences
listen
We get close to the real brief.
shape
We find one point of view.
make
We bring it into the places where people meet the brand.

Every collaboration starts with the actual brief. The mix of disciplines follows what the idea needs.

A small studio with a wide lens. We bring different ways of seeing together across brand, marketing and art.

We are interested in the overlap: where an observation becomes a message, where an object becomes an identity, and where a brand becomes part of culture.
