Studio Mega

What Studio Mega does

Studio Mega is a privately held, independent creative agency founded in 2015 and headquartered at 2636 NE Sandy Blvd in Portland, Oregon. Operating with 11–50 employees under a hybrid in-office model (Tuesday through Thursday), the studio delivers a unified suite of creative services spanning four practice areas: Brand (visual identity systems, brand architecture, naming, packaging), Content (campaign strategy, photo/video production, social content), Digital (UI/UX design, front-end development, website experiences), and Experiential (retail concept design, environmental branding, event activations). Studio Mega is not a technology product company; its deliverable is creative work produced through direct human craft and project-based client engagements, supported where needed by a network of specialty partners (e.g., Dot Dot Dash for AR technology, Matchless Build for installations, McCall Architecture for built environments).

The studio's client base is concentrated at the enterprise tier and spans multiple verticals: sports and athletic apparel (Nike, Jordan Brand, CamelBak, Gatorade), global consumer brands (PepsiCo, encompassing a rebrand of more than 500 food and beverage brands — the first corporate rebrand in 25 years), gaming and technology (Microsoft/Xbox, Snap Inc., Kodiak Robotics), hospitality and travel (Powder Mountain, Vacasa), and nonprofit arts (Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts). Marquee projects include the design of Jordan Brand's Los Angeles flagship store with rooftop court and Flight Lab training space, the Xbox Halo Infinite augmented reality campaign at an Oregon Ducks football game (2025 Webby People's Voice Winner), Nike Air Max Day activations across multiple U.S. cities, and a Vacasa identity system. The studio has accumulated multiple 2025 Webby Awards across at least 10 client projects and has received press coverage in Forbes, Hypebeast, LA Times, WWD, SportsCenter, Bleacher Report, Complex, Barstool Sports, and Geekwire.

Studio Mega's revenue model is professional services: project-based engagements delivered as an integrated extension of client teams, priced on a scope basis with no publicly disclosed fee schedule. Distribution is direct-to-client, sourced through portfolio website traffic, Webby recognition, earned press, and inbound outreach (primary contact [email protected]). There is no disclosed external institutional investment, and the firm remains founder-operated with no parent company, subsidiaries, or public market presence. The company is actively operating and hiring, with the only disclosed internal compensation signal being an $85–115K salary band for a Sr. Brand Designer role.
