With music, both the score and performance matter. Notes provide structure. Key, pitch, and meter add color. Improvisation allows for surprise. Design functions in much the same way. Strategy is useless without road-tested applications. Tight cohesive systems are fine, but not at the expense of soul and feeling. Logos, colors, and taglines don’t make people care. It’s what you do with them that matters.
Volume is a creative agency that digs deeps to find that core essence of what you’re trying to communicate and then creates the most engaging ways to deliver it. An outdoor campaign? If that’s what would work best. A video? Sure. An exhibition? Let’s build it! Digital? Of course. All of these at once? That’s our favorite.
