Brand strategy and creative direction for brands that mean something
Buffer & Muse is a brand strategy and creative direction practice for early-stage startups and creative professionals who are ready to close the gap between what they do and how the world sees it.
We work at the intersection of brand positioning, visual identity direction, and content strategy — holding all three together under a single strategic point of view. Most agencies split this work between departments. We integrate it. That's the edge.
We take on a maximum of two clients at a time. Every client gets full attention, which means the work is better and the relationships are real.
What we do
Brand Foundation
For founders and creative professionals who need to know who they are before they can express it. Positioning, messaging, and visual direction — before you brief a designer or write a word of copy.
