Over the past twelve months, the Studio Seventeen office has gone through some significant changes, working with some exciting new clients, setting up some challenging new goals and introducing new members to our office.
We’ve created some bespoke and beautiful new projects for our clients, helped businesses find and develop their brand identity and worked with some incredible names to produce amazing results. It’s not been an easy year, but it’s been great to push ourselves creatively for our clients.
However, through both remote working in lockdown and our return to the office, we’ve drunk a lot of coffee, put in some serious Slack time and amassed a slightly worrying collection of houseplants, so we felt it was time to count up our stats for Studio Seventeen’s 2021.
