Every space has a story

Let’s build your brand around them

Who Is Storied?

Storied is not an ad agency. We’re not buying media. We don’t build websites. We won’t run social media ads. We can help you find the right people to do what a typical agency would do, but those things aren’t who we are.

We’re focused, intentional and unapologetic about one thing; the absolute best brand identities and the highest quality is our goal. Our clients (we call them our friends) expect that and we deliver.

What We Do

We do one thing really, really well—we craft brand identities that tell the stories of the places they represent. If you’re reading this, you already know that a logo is not a brand. A brand is an experience. It’s everything your customers and guests come into contact with.

The best brand identities (which happen to include logos) make people feel drawn to and attached to a brand. Great brand identities are an extension of a person’s own personal identity; a way they show who they are.

Who We Serve

There’s another thing we don’t do. We don’t serve everyone. We work in 3 specific places within the luxury category. This allows us to stay focused on excellence and do the highest quality work that’s possible.

How We Work

Just like a great story, your space has all of the key components; characters, setting, plot, conflict and resolution. Our unique process uncovers that story and we translate it into a brand identity that gives life to the entire brand experience.

Our model is different. We don’t have full-time creatives on staff because your project is unique. It’s ineffective to use the same full-time creatives with specific styles on every project. Getting the right talent on your project with the right mix of experience and skills that match your goals is central to our process.

Plus, you don’t pay for the unnecessary frills you’ll get with a full ad agency so we can focus on one thing-a killer brand identity system.

Our Clients

Our #1 goal is quality. That means quality in our relationships as much as quality in our product. We always close projects with happy clients. Always. Because we know that in luxury, our brand reputation is our greatest asset.

Brandon has the ability to see a bigger picture than I could see. He never pushed his ideas or agenda on me, but when I asked for his suggestions, he presented possibilities that matched my overall goals. He then offered specific, concrete ways he could help me achieve them. I trust Brandon completely.

Storied's design is next level and market knowledge is top tier. Portraying luxury is something we strive for in all levels of our business and Storied helped achieve that goal.

Storied captured the look and feel of our vision and we trust their services and will definitely use them again.

Brandon was so great to work with. Although my project may have been small it was important to me and my business and he treated it as such. He really helped me capture the vision I was looking for.

Storied was so incredibly easy to work with. They brought my vision to life in a way that I didn't even see it needed. Brandon understood what I wanted to create. He was professional, he listened, but also got me to think differently which was awesome.

Storied Founder

I’m Brandon Marcum and I bring over 20 years of brand and identity experience from boutique design studios and in-house design and marketing teams, to Creative and Marketing Vice President roles, including roles at the #1 fastest growing company on Forbes 100 list.

After so many years of give and take (mostly give) with clients and colleagues over the proper emphasis on design, specifically brand development, I started The Storied Company. “Good enough” was no longer good enough for me. I love to team up with luxury real estate owners who understand how important a brand really is and who will have the same extreme attention to detail and expectation of quality that I have.
