Overview
Our approach is truly bespoke: At Mode, you'll only work with top industry talent, and we custom-tailor our teams to fit your brand.
We make a point of "living your brand," so we get to know and understand who's buying your product and why.
We might be called on to make what we design, so from clean and simple to complex and impressive, it must be designed to be functional and real.
Our measure is your success. We believe great creative is only great if it sells, both internally and externally.
What We Do
Off-the-rack methodologies do not seem to suit our clients well. We prefer to "live your brand," understand its naked truths, and then design a strategy that expresses those truths in a culturally relevant way.
STRATEGIC STORYBOARDING - enables you to see your marketing challenge or solution before you spend against it.
BRAND EXPRESSION - a visual articulation of your brand's unique values, personality and equities in a way that is easily understood by others. The visual representation of the
Creative Brief.
IDEA MODELING is our way of translating innovative and entrepreneurial ideas into something tangible.
What We Do
Mode Design Group is known for creating lifestyle brands, but every style, from tried and true packaged goods to runway trends, has its ideal expression. The Mode Style is the perfect articulation of our client's style needs. Our teams are purpose-built to fit your specific design need; importantly, we will not hesitate to bring in a specialist if the project requires. This bespoke approach gives us great latitude in the types of creative deliverables we can offer, and the core services include:
Product Concepting
Packaging Design
Gifting
Retail Theater
Retail Activation
Prototyping
Light Manufacturing
Go-to-Market Strategies
What We Do
Our clients often ask us to make what we design, so from the beginning, we know it has to work and has to be good. Rather than ultimately limiting, this experience allows us to push innovation where we know it can work, and it gives you the security of knowing that we go into every project with our eyes open and our pencils sharpened. We routinely get things made that others say can't be made, and yet, we won't sell you design that cannot be produced. Example deliverables include:
prototyping in most common consumer materials
Limited-run fabrication/production for non-mechanical items, with an emphasis in luxury objects via Society Awards
Consulting help to ensure the design vision is met
What We Do
We understand great creative needs to sell internally as well as externally. As such, we prefer to be a creative partner throughout the development and launch process. Working with your internal and external stakeholders and our constellation of launch partners, we can act as your Creative Director on
