ONE AGENCY, EVERY PART OF THE LAUNCH

WHAT ASTUDIO BUILDS AROUND YOUR BRAND

A product rarely fails on its own merits. It fails because the story around it, the positioning, the image, the route to the buyer, was never built with the same care as the product itself. ASTUDIO exists to build that world: brand, positioning, story, image and the path to the right buyer, all under one roof. We design the room the product sits in, not just the product.

STRATEGY, CREATIVE AND PRODUCTION, ONE TEAM

Most agencies hand a brand between a strategy shop, a creative studio and a production house, and something gets lost at every handover. ASTUDIO keeps strategy, creative, production and digital on one team, working from the same brief from the first idea to the final cut. Toufic Araman sets the strategy and client direction on every account, and the team delivers under it.

LUXURY AND GOVERNMENT, TWO WORLDS WE KNOW WELL

ASTUDIO has built campaigns for BVLGARI, Piaget, Cartier and Al Majed Oud, and our portfolio has been featured in Vogue Arabia and Harper’s Bazaar. Luxury is where our instincts are sharpest: jewellery, fragrance and fashion, with the discretion and detail that high-end clients expect. We also work with government entities on their own marketing and communication needs, applying the same strategic rigour to a different kind of audience.

WORK BUILT TO BE SEEN, SHARED AND REMEMBERED

BVLGARI’s Wonders of Love and Piaget’s Ramadan #TurnLifeOn campaign are two examples of what happens when strategy, branding and production move together instead of in sequence. For SÉLECT LABEL, we built the name, the branding and the website, and we continue to run its social media and paid media. Every project carries its own brief, but the same discipline runs through all of them.

A HOUSE BUILT SINCE 2006

ASTUDIO has grown, project by project and client by client, since 2006, into a full-service house that brands, large and small, come back to. We are not a vendor hired for one deliverable. We are the team that stays with a brand’s story as it moves from an idea into a launch, a season, a reputation. See the full range of what we build, or talk to us about what your brand needs next.
