What we do
We work at the intersection of business strategy and brand. We define brand direction before execution begins. Our role is to clarify positioning, align decisions, and create a strong foundation for creative work that follows.
How we work
- Decisions before design
- Strategy before execution
- Clarity before growth
Every engagement follows a structured strategic process, tailored to the business and the decisions at hand.
Perspective over process
Portland Design Co is not built around frameworks or rigid methodologies.
The studio’s approach is shaped by experience, pattern recognition, and an understanding of how brands operate in the real world. Each engagement is approached on its merits, with the process adapting to the organisation, the challenge, and the decisions required.
The focus remains the same
- Clear decisions
- Considered execution
- Long term brand strength
Strategy sets the direction.
Execution brings it to life.
We begin with a clearly defined brand strategy.
From there, we can support the creative execution through design and delivery, guided by the strategy.
This ensures
- Consistency from decision to implementation
- Fewer handovers and less dilution
- Creative work grounded in purpose
