What Studio Two does

Studio Two is a privately held full-service design and branding agency founded in 1994 in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, and reorganized as a distributed virtual operation across the Berkshires, Miami and Seattle after 2016. The firm delivers brand development, graphic design, web design and development, packaging design, photography, video production, web hosting and SEO/SEM services primarily to non-profit organizations, small and medium businesses, and select enterprise clients across the United States. Core offerings center on a values-driven brand methodology that moves from strategy and naming through identity systems, supported by in-house web development on open-source platforms with e-commerce, security and hosting capabilities delivered via a partnership with Logical.net in Albany, NY. Notable long-tenure clients include the Berkshire International Film Festival (13 years), The Mount (since 2003), DUNCH (since 2011) and Lincoln Road (since 2018), and the firm has been recognized with 11 GDUSA American Graphic Design Awards in 2013.

The firm operates as a professional services agency on a project-based, custom-quoted pricing model with multi-year brand stewardship contracts on the upper end. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, referrals from long-term clients, portfolio credibility and active content marketing through its website and blog. Studio Two is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment, owned and operated by founder Kevin Sprague (Owner and Creative Director) with Partner Heather Rose and a small senior team including Senior Web Designer Christine Cooney and Senior Designer Amanda Bettis. The firm maintains strong vertical depth in non-profit, cultural, healthcare and specialty food/beverage branding, with growing exposure to enterprise accounts in aviation, construction, manufacturing and real estate.
