Identity

What Identity does

Identity is a Tallinn-based creative agency (legal entity Identity OÜ) founded in 2002, operating with 1-10 employees from a single headquarters at Laeva 2, 4th Floor, Tallinn. The firm delivers professional services in brand strategy, brand naming, visual identity design, brand concept development, packaging design, communication strategy, rebranding, and brand launch campaigns. It markets itself as a 'strategic-holistic' creative practice combining brand strategy with creative execution, and claims over 25 years of experience with 200+ brand concepts created for clients. There are no disclosed technology products, APIs, patents, or proprietary platforms; the offering is human-driven creative and strategic consulting rather than a technology product.

The agency's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospective clients engage via website inquiry forms (quote requests, guest speaker invitations, cooperation proposals), with project-based professional services engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as custom quotes per project. Customer segments are primarily enterprise companies and government institutions, with notable logos including Inbank (financial services), Retro FM (broadcasting), Thermory (manufacturing), the Government Office of Estonia, Kalev (food & beverage), Iglusaun (consumer goods), and IIZI (insurance). Geographic reach claims Europe and Global, though operations are concentrated in Estonia.

Documented client outcomes include Retro FM achieving 315% business growth and becoming Estonia's most-listened radio station, Inbank reaching 220% of savings deposit targets (11 million EUR), and the EU2017 communication strategy generating 70 million EUR in profit. The firm has won the Estonian Marketing Efficiency Award in 2014 and been a finalist twice in 2016. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are disclosed; ownership appears to be founder-held.
