CUT THRU is a multi-award-winning branding agency with offices in Sydney and Brooklyn, New York. Boutique Branding Agency of the Year at the Netty Awards in 2023 and 2024, and a multi-category standout again in 2025.
Most agencies sell you a logo and a mood board. We sell you market share.
We took the guesswork out of branding. While others bet everything on one "genius" idea, we build multiple brand and website versions, then split test them in the real world, on the channels you will actually launch on. You go live on evidence, not opinion. The method is conversion-centered, grounded in the 3Cs (Customer, Company, Competitor) and double-blind testing.
Results:
Blossom: $0 to $1.6B in funds under management in under five years.
Talent Recap: built to over 15 million YouTube subscribers, one of the largest channels in the world.
Pacific Legal Foundation: repositioned a public-interest law firm holding more US Supreme Court wins than any other (22).
Quillette: grew its YouTube audience past 100,000 subscribers.
Paperform: a 25% drop in bounce rate and 22% lift in conversion, plus Best Abstract Logo Design at the Netty Awards.
Industries: finance and fintech, legal, media and publishing, SaaS and enterprise software, real estate, professional services, health.
Services: brand strategy and positioning, naming and messaging, visual identity and logo design, product-market fit testing, conversion-focused websites and landing pages, campaign rollout and lead-gen assets.
Recognition: Boutique Branding Agency of the Year, Netty Awards (2023, 2024); multi-category standout (2025); #1 branding agency in Sydney and top 5 in New York (Clutch); Top Branding Company Globally (DesignRush, 2022).

Our Story
CUT THRU started with a simple frustration: branding runs on guesswork, ego, and whoever shouts loudest in the room. We thought that was a daft way to spend a client's money. So we swapped opinion for evidence. We build multiple versions, split test them in the real world, and launch only what wins. The mission is brands that perform commercially, not just brands that collect design awards, though we collect plenty of those too. Cut through, or don't bother.
What Sets Us Apart
Conversion-Centered Design
We rebuilt Paperform's identity and bounce rate fell 25% while conversion climbed 22%. That is the job. We design against a number, not a mood board. If a logo, page, or line of copy does not move a buyer to act, it does not ship. Compliments are pleasant. Conversions get paid.
Product-Market Fit Testing
We test brands to product-market fit before you bet on them. We build multiple versions and split test them on real audiences who do not know they are being watched, on the channels you will launch on. For swimwear label Fearless, we tweaked until it hit fit: 27,000 pre-orders at launch.
$50B in Equity, Grown and De-Risked
Most agencies treat branding as a gamble. We treat it as managed risk. Simple Dose: click-through up 127%, cost per click down 61.9%. Psychology Fitness: a new category that let them charge 3x. Blossom: $14M in 14 weeks. Over $50B in brand equity grown and de-risked. Returns, not roulette.
