A small studio that creates a lot of big buzz.
Our creatives support industries through branding identity design, business coaching, media presence + exclusive market strategies.
The stories we could tell.
The greatest businesses, whether they are multi-billion dollar industries or a small town local favorite, all have a story of how they came to be— and ours is similar.
Coming from a very non-traditional educational background, earning a Graphic Design + Science Psychology degree at Portland State University, Kristen, founder of Rogue Raven Studio, ventured out as a freelance designer, determined to forage her own path in the design and marketing industry.
Kristen started not one, but two businesses under the umbrella of Sugar Spruce Company and single handedly managed both graphic design clients and custom baking clients simultaneously. To most, the connections between design and baking came as a surprise, but the success did not. Both companies took off in the blink of an eye, but after 6 years of running both full time, and a life changing move to her hometown, Bozeman, Montana—she decided putting all her effort into a design studio was most important.
Her personal approach is defined as “beyond the cookie cutter, way out of the box”, and has proven to be highly successful and lucrative by countless clients along the way. With over 15 years of personal and professional business, design and marketing experience, Kristen offers a “like-family” type of working relationship while offering a robust service selection. Prioritizing long term relationships and a dominating style of work execution that maximizes company profitability and production.
Rogue Raven Studio is a curated team who provide exclusive quality branding identity systems, effective social marketing strategies, full range print and web design and business coaching, around the world. While small start-ups and well-known global brands may operate at different intensities, their strategies and visual graphic needs are essentially the same. We believe that exceptional graphic design work should be within everyone’s reach and we aim to support each from behind the scenes.
What we Bring to the Table.
-
Branding is the external representation of your business’s ecosystem. So, creating a logo actually does breathe life into an idea, gives the business an official identity, and is the foundation of who you are and why you exist.
-
We look at constraints as opportunities to problem solve with deep, thoughtful, marketing solutions. We lift our clients up to create the reality of their dreams. Our purpose is to do project-based work for clients that align with our core values. We know these partnerships will thrive and create a solid foundation on multiple levels.
-
Intentional messaging is a process of discovery to uncover what your customers and potential customers actually care about. It’s about digging into the root of why, how, who, and what. It’s about taking the time to understand how your customers or prospective clients feel about the problems your business, services and products aim to solve.
-
Content strategies should be aligned with the brand values and categorized into brand or content pillars.
These pillars embody your branding identity and something to create education and stories around, as well as to find experts, influencers, and co-storytellers who also care about the same or similar pillar.
Content marketing is most effective when there is a mutual understanding and benefit.
-
Nurture marketing is the idea that we should find a natural, authentic flow to stay connected with our customers and those that support our business. When we over or under communicate, we lose the balance needed to create loyalty and longevity.
Nurture marketing is all about identifying the customer milestones and creating moments throughout their journey with you. It’s about celebrating accomplishments of tasks, goals reached, and acknowledging the customer as a critical component of the business.
-
Established businesses are always analyzing strategies to adjust what still suits them and what does not.
Often times, branding identities need a refresh or a complete overhaul; this also applies to marketing strategies. Auditing is an intense but extremely beneficial look at everything marketing related in terms of your business.
As we dissect all digital platforms and assess print materials, a timeline and guide will be presented, with new forward thinking strategies to maximize results.
