BrandingFERN & FORGE
ConceptA craft homewares maker needed to look like it had been around forever — without lying about being new. We built a wordmark that ages well and a system that doesn't.

A perfectly ordinary can of sparkling water.
02 — Selected work
Five clients. Five personalities. All fictional, all ours.
Concept work, made to show what we do. Every brand below was built from scratch to demonstrate a capability — not to fill a grid.
Branding
PackagingBLOOM
ConceptBotanical sparkling water in a category full of mountains and ice. We gave it a garden instead. The can you saw upstairs? That's the real one.
PrintTHE LONG WAY
ConceptAn independent travel publication for people who think the journey is the point. Editorial system, type, and a layout that breathes between photographs.
WebsiteHALO
ConceptA wellness app that didn't want to look like every other wellness app. Calm, warm, and confident — the digital equivalent of a deep breath.
CampaignNIGHTOWL
ConceptA late-night diner that closes at 4am and opens at 4:01. We made a campaign that glows in the dark, for the people who are still awake to see it.

04 — The studio
We care entirely too much.
Lucky for you, that's literally our job.
Media Mania is a small studio with an inconvenient habit: we treat every project like it's the one we'll be remembered for. That means we argue about kerning, we rewrite headlines at midnight, and we refuse to ship work that could belong to anyone else.
We're not nostalgic for nostalgia's sake. We just believe advertising and design should have actual ideas in them — the kind that make a stranger remember your business a week later. Your business stays the hero. Our job is to give it a personality worth remembering.
01
Brand strategy
Positioning, naming, voice. The decisions that make everything else easier — including the decision to hire us.
02
Identity & design
Logos, type, color, systems. A look that holds together across a billboard and a business card.
03
Packaging
Structural and surface design for things people pick up. We design the shelf moment.
04
Print & editorial
Books, magazines, reports, mailers. Paper that earns the mailbox and the coffee table.
05
Websites
Design-led sites that load fast and read clearly. Built to be maintained by humans, not just us.
06
Campaigns & film
Through-the-line ideas with legs. We make the thing, then we make it move.
05 — Project inquiry
Tell us about the thing you're trying to make people remember.
We read every one of these. The more specific you are, the faster we can come back with a real answer — not a form letter.
