What Studio More does

Studio More is a London-based boutique branding and packaging design agency founded in 2015 by Dan Wilson (Creative Partner), with Nikita serving as Managing Partner. Operating with 1-10 employees from its headquarters at 52 Holloway Road, London, the agency delivers integrated branding engagements to ambitious entrepreneurs and growth-stage consumer brands across the food, beverage, and personal care sectors. Its publicly documented client portfolio includes James White Drinks, Nirvana Brewery, Didsbury Gin, UpCircle, Tea+, and Cool Cold Brew.

The agency's core offering is a single integrated branding service combining brand strategy, naming, visual identity, tone of voice, messaging, packaging design, website design, social media direction, and brand guidelines. Studio More does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its work is human creative services delivered through a 'designing from the inside out' methodology underpinned by a 4-step brand planning process. The agency also publishes a free 4-Step Brand Plan checklist as a top-of-funnel lead magnet and maintains a Journal blog for thought leadership.

Studio More generates revenue through project-based engagements priced at flat fees reflecting the expertise required and deliverables expected, rather than time-based billing. The billing cadence is structured as multi-year contracts, and the firm operates a consultative, survey-driven intake process via Typeform. Go-to-market relies on direct engagement, content marketing, and an organic social presence on LinkedIn and Instagram, targeting decision-makers at growth-stage consumer brands in the UK and selected international markets served through client relationships (including Australia, Finland, and Portugal via the UpCircle engagement).
