I would highly recommend a group that we just used for Resharp based in Boulder CO called Fadduh - https://www.fadduh.com/

-Dave Lyons

Speak to Hub Strategy and Communications in SF. They produce their own media so they would be great at crafting your message.

I can suggest RetailBound, Inc. Yohan Jacob specializes in helping companies go to market with their product. He is also a Stanford grad!

Great to work with. He is based in Chicago, but has consultants all over, including the Bay Area.

I came across R/GA Ventures working with Freewire. R/GA Ventures did I nice job on branding.

I really like Marty Neumeier at Liquid.

-Bill Burnett

I found working with A Hundred Monkeys to be straightforward and enjoyable. I ended up selecting them because they seemed to best understand how to reconcile the often highly-subjective and non-linear creative process inherent to branding, and the need to convey some sort of articulable process to other stakeholders to generate buy in.

I'd recommend.

-Jason Chua

Collins! They do amazing work. Happy to make an introduction.

-Alonzo Canada

We worked with Marissa Shapiro at Martha (www.thisismartha.com). Haven’t seen her copy work yet but amazing brand guidelines and voice + tone work. Also super reasonably priced. We love her! Doing copy, site design and photo with her now.

We had an excellent experience with Born & Bred last year. They did a complete overhaul of our brand for Pearl Coffee - including a new name, new logo and revised brand strategy. I would recommend highly. - Greg Kress

IDEO SF does branding work. - Peter Macdonald

I would like to highly recommend one of our own: Daylight Designs. Dan Kim runs their Seoul office and has an extremely talented crew there working on branding. We loved collaborating with them – they worked up the identity for SpeedSmith, pulling off the tough trick of fulfilling the character we had in mind, and adding twists we would have never thought of. They should be a default conversation for us Stanford designers when we are thinking of branding work. - Joseph Hei

I run a tiny branding shop too :) http://www.aandjdesignworks.com/ - Avantika Agarwal

To add one more to the list, we've had a fantastic experience with Casey Martin at Play. I like a couple things about working with Casey:

He has chops from Leo Burnett but is starting his own agency in the Bay, so you get lots of attention.
He's the one calling the design shots, so you know a junior associate isn't doing all the work.
He's easy and fun to work with.

-DeWolf Emery

I highly recommend Tolleson in SF:https://tolleson.com/work/

I have worked with them on several projects and they do very thoughtful and beautiful work across multiple disciplines.

- Kamran Arshad

I’ve worked with Play Studio and Silas Reeves for branding and highly recommend both. - Gabrielle Guthrie
