Timeless taste, bottled. 🍻

When Calgary’s iconic Teatro launched house beer, the label had to live up to the room and the legacy. We took inspiration from the restaurant’s architectural beauty and antique gates, designed to craft a design that feels elegant, intentional, and distinctly Teatro.

Introducing Allora: a name that invites you to linger a little longer, wrapped in a label that quietly commands attention, just like the space itself.

Sustainable. Sophisticated. Finally open. 🌿

Big congrats to our friends at on the opening of their sales centre this month!

We had the pleasure of helping bring this project to life — from brand identity and website to signage, brochure, and a nature-inspired sales centre experience that feels like a breath of fresh (Ottawa) air.

If you’re in Sandy Hill, drop by and step into your future sanctuary. ✨

Did ya miss us?

We know - we’ve been a little quiet on here. But don’t let the silence fool you. Behind the scenes, we’ve been up to our eyeballs in bold brands, big ideas, and beautiful executions (with some very cool clients, might we add).

While we weren’t posting, we were plotting. And now we’re back with a brand new website that shows off what we’ve been cooking.

So if you’ve got a project that needs some serious creative firepower - or even just a spark of an idea you’ve been brewing in the shower - we’re here, we’re caffeinated, and we’re ready to bring it to life.

🔥 Check out the new site

Fasten your seatbelts, cuz we've been turbocharging Metro Ford's historic move with a campaign 60 years in the making! 

Metro Ford is celebrating 60 years of business by moving into their brand new digs, and they asked us to create a campaign that (1) informed the YYC community of their move to Taza Park and (2) encouraged new business from their new neighbours.

During the course of our work we've been able to achieve heavy duty results by spreading the word through digital and traditional mediums alike.

We're pretty sure our hearts skipped a beat after reading this testimonial from .real.estate 😍 We couldn't be more grateful!

"I was in need of a logo for my real estate company. Brandsmith came highly recommended to me from a friend that uses their services on an ongoing basis. I had never worked with a design company before, which had me feeling a little unsure of what to expect... but from start to finish Brandsmith supported me and my ideas. Their very thorough and curated process of asking key questions made me think below the surface of what my brand really means to me and what I wanted it to mean to others. I showed up looking for a logo but in the end, I truly believe I left with a brand and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

Thank you Shea and the Brandsmith team!!!"

According to reliable sources, is a “fun and funky restaurant/ bar in the heart of serving killer cocktails, booze and Chef Wong’s delicious Hong Kong-adjacent cuisine.” But only go there if you dig great tunes, awesome people, eclectic décor and good times.
Oh, and we also discovered it’s an ideal location to go and have your team photographed by .studio while smashing halloumi skewers… who knew 🤷🏻‍♂️

Today (March 2, 2022) the Secret 3K invites participants to run, walk and work together for equality during the week of International Women’s Day. Inspired by the courage of a young woman in Afghanistan who trained and prepared in secret to participate in a marathon in her own country, the Secret 3K is an act of awareness, equality and support. The event's tagline should be a sombre reminder of why this “secret” should be shared loudly around the globe… "There are places in the world where women can’t run - we run for them."
