What Singular Studios does

Singular Studios is a strategic branding and design agency headquartered at Stadsgården 6 in Stockholm, Sweden, operating as an independent entity within the diversified NOVA Consulting Group. The firm delivers three integrated service pillars: Brand Strategy (varumärkesstrategi) covering analysis, positioning, platform development, architecture, naming, and customer segmentation; Brand Design (varumärkesdesign) encompassing visual identity, packaging, and touchpoint design; and Brand Communication (varumärkeskommunikation) including messaging platforms, tone of voice, employer branding, and implementation strategy. Its proprietary 'Singular Brand Study' is a quantitative research methodology that measures awareness, preference, and attitude to produce data-driven brand strategy insights. The client base comprises enterprise organizations across the Nordic region and select international markets, with publicly visible engagements spanning STIM (music rights, 100-year anniversary), HIQ (technology consulting), Birka Gotland (cruise, relaunched with Viking Line and Gotlandsbolaget), Evli (Finnish wealth management), Viking Line, Destination Gotland, Stockholms Gas, Solkompaniet, and Forefront.

The firm is led by co-founders Tobias Brandt (Head of Strategy) and Herman Kipowski (Head of Design), supported by a named senior team of approximately twelve professionals across digital strategy, UX/UI design, CRM strategy, media strategy, copywriting, and CX strategy, drawing on backgrounds from agency, client-side, technology, and startup environments. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct enterprise engagement via the website contact form, LinkedIn, Instagram, and referrals, supplemented by published case studies as primary marketing collateral.

Singular Studios operates a project-based professional services revenue model with custom engagements and multi-year contract cadences; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per engagement based on scope and complexity. As a self-governing entity within the NOVA consulting group — whose other entities include NovaLab, Dekode, NortherBeat, Rocket, Infunnel, Epinova, Pineberry, Egde, Cloudnine, and Novacare — the firm gains cross-sell potential into digital, e-commerce, CRM, and cloud capabilities while retaining its brand-and-design specialization.
