Drive Brand Studio

What Drive Brand Studio does

Drive Brand Studio Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned full-service marketing agency incorporated in New Hampshire and headquartered in a converted barn at 170 Kearsarge Street, North Conway. Founded in 1997 and operating with a team of approximately 12-13 people under President Nancy Clark, the firm delivers integrated marketing services spanning brand strategy, logo and identity design, web design and development (built on Wix, Craft CMS, and Shopify), PR, digital marketing, social media, photo/video production, and campaign development. Service delivery is project-and-retainer based at quote-based pricing, with three productized website tiers (No Code Wix, Craft CMS, Shopify) targeting SMB and e-commerce clients.

The agency's customer base is anchored in the New England tourism and ski-resort ecosystem (Telluride, Bromley, Cranmore, NH State Parks, MWV Chamber of Commerce) but extends selectively into the Southeast (Golden Isles) and Mountain West (Telluride), with additional work across craft beverage, real estate, and nonprofit sectors. Technology infrastructure relies on third-party platforms (Wix, Craft CMS, Shopify, Constant Contact, Cloudflare, Google Analytics) rather than proprietary systems; no APIs, mobile apps, or AI/ML products are disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-client via website contact forms, phone, email, and walk-in office visits, supported by an inbound content engine built around the 'Our 2¢' blog and an active presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Spotify.
