Lake & Pine specializes in crafting compelling narratives and powerful images that elevate brands in audiences' minds.
When you work with us you can expect a tailored process that includes a relentless focus on your customer needs, application of the best practices of design, and an obsession over your story and visuals. You'll get the best of what we've learned in our years inside Fortune 100 companies and boutique agencies.
We offer a wide range of design services, each tailored to elevate your brand's vision.
A brand is more than just a logo; it's a representation of a company's values and personality. We take a comprehensive approach to branding, starting with a solid strategy and then creating everything from color schemes and typography to imagery and messaging. We wrap it all up in a brand guidelines document to ensure that clients can maintain consistency in their branding across all touchpoints.
With so many brand touch-points these days, companies must constantly create visually compelling visual content to keep audiences engaged. Without attention-grabbing graphics, a brand might as well be invisible. We’ve designed a multitude of graphics, including print collateral such as business cards, brochures, and flyers, digital graphics for social media and e-newsletters, and merchandise like t-shirts or stickers.
Video is a must-have in a marketing toolkit. Customers now expect video content when researching a product or brand. Whether it's an explainer video, a promotional video, or an animated social media post, we can create customized video content that aligns with our clients' branding and marketing strategies.
A company's website or app is usually the first point of contact with potential customers. We combine our design expertise with the latest technology and trends to create customized websites and apps that are tailored to our clients' specific needs. Whether it's a simple brochure website or a complex e-commerce platform, we ensure that every website and app we create is optimized for a seamless user experience.
Our founders have over 50 years of collective creative experience working both on the agency side and within Fortune 100 companies. This diverse background equips our founders with a unique understanding of both business needs and agency best-practices, enabling a comprehensive approach to problem-solving through design.
