Analogue

What Analogue does

Analogue (operating as Analogue Agency) is a private, Amsterdam-based brand and digital design studio co-founded by Julian Mollema (Creative Director) and Ralph Tilon (Managing Director). The studio delivers brand identity systems, digital experiences, UI/UX design, campaign websites, e-commerce platforms, and related content and strategy services for enterprise and mid-market clients. Its delivery stack combines no-code development on Framer with full-stack capabilities and an official Shopify Plus partnership for commerce builds, alongside content, motion, and social media design services.

The agency's target customer is design-led product brands — companies that treat design as a core differentiator and need cohesive identity and digital platforms that match premium product quality. Named clients include Vitra, Polaroid, Tony's Chocolonely, Leica, Atomic, ILGM, Fyron (and portfolio brands OFYR, BSTRD, The Bastard, Grill Guru, Grizzly Grills, Inferno), M1 Capital, Travelteq, Equip, Stories, Boldking, Maven 11, and Oratio, spanning consumer goods, financial services, healthcare, real estate, Web3, and cannabis. The studio has been recognized with Framer Website of the Year (Vitra Panton, 2025), Framer Site of The Year (THE ONE case), Awwwards Site of the Day, and editorial features in Klikkentheke, Visual Journal, and The Brand Identity.

Commercially, Analogue operates a sales-led B2B professional services model with project-based engagements and likely retainers, acquired through portfolio/case-study marketing, awards-driven inbound, and client referrals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Beyond services, the agency operates a proprietary physical product line — the Analogue aF-1 35mm camera — sold direct-to-consumer via its own Shopify storefront. Geographic reach from a single Amsterdam base covers Europe, North America (USA), and Asia (Singapore).
