OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Kue Studio?

I needed help creating a brand identity and brand assets for my artist project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Kue Studio helped me find and articulate my brand heart, logo, and identifying assets such as fonts, colors, and textures. The team also created brand-identifying artwork, templates for social media, and a brand website that serves as a landing page. Kue Studio handled the full design and development of my website.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Kue Studio.

Kue Studio was referred to me. Their company values aligned with mine, and I saw some of the work they did for a previous client in the same industry and liked what they produced.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with Kue Studio from December 2025–January 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Kue Studio defined a clear creative positioning system, including one brand statement, five core creative pillars, and a “why artists work with me” narrative, which I now use across my bio, pitches, and release materials. The team also delivered a complete, reusable brand kit, including two word marks, multiple lockups, a limited color palette, a two-font type system, and repeatable graphic motifs, eliminating the need for custom design on each release. Moreover, Kue Studio produced 10+ exportable visual assets and social templates optimized for digital platforms, which I directly applied to my upcoming releases. The team also prepared full release-ready artwork in multiple formats for my first artist-featured release. Additionally, Kue Studio created a single landing page system with short and long bios, consolidating artist identity, music, and contact info into one access point. My website traffic increased by 200% as soon as it launched. Much of what Kue Studio created for me resulted in hundreds of hours saved. The new brand assets and templates helped convey my sonic identity through a consistent visual brand. For example, the visual textures on our website that Kue Studio created helped potential clients understand my sound and the type of sonic textures and approach I take in my collaborations with artists.

How did Kue Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Kue Studio was extremely responsive, delivered everything on time, and was very collaborative in allowing me to test out my ideas and adjust based on our understanding of my creative identity. We communicated through virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Kue Studio's thoughtfulness in their use of research, design taste, and communication was impressive. We had a great and productive working relationship. I was extremely impressed with their commitment to ensuring that I was happy with each of the deliverables and their thoroughness in trying to understand me and my vision for my brand.

Are there any areas they could improve?

It would've been great to have a couple more touchpoints throughout the day so we could iterate more quickly, but that's very minor and unique to my situation since things were moving so fast, and I had to review many different artifacts by the end of the day.

Kue Studio led the full creative scope for KTM Agency’s rebrand and website redesign. This included developing an all-new visual identity system, modernizing our logo, selecting updated brand fonts and color palette, and establishing a refreshed look and feel that better represents our agency’s expertise and evolution. From there, they designed and built a custom Squarespace website that brought our new brand to life - complete with updated service pages, case studies, team bios, and a dynamic portfolio section showcasing client work. The Kue team also produced detailed brand guidelines, provided website training to our internal team, and collaborated closely with us on creative direction, layout, and content integration. Key deliverables included: 
-- Comprehensive brand identity development (logo, fonts, color palette, and visual system)
-- Full website redesign and build on Squarespace
-- Creative direction, design concepts, and content layout
-- Brand style guide and implementation assets
-- Website training and ongoing creative support

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The results of our rebrand and website launch have been outstanding. Within days of the site going live, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from clients, partners, and industry peers - many calling it “next level” and “a true reflection of who KTM is today.” The new brand identity immediately elevated how we show up in the market and has directly contributed to an increase in new business inquiries and partnership opportunities.

From a performance standpoint, we saw a significant lift in website engagement, with time on site and page views both increasing, and traffic nearly doubling in the first month post-launch. The new design has also streamlined our internal workflow, making it easier for our team to update content, showcase new work, and maintain brand consistency across all platforms.

Most importantly, the rebrand gave our agency a renewed sense of confidence and cohesion - both internally and externally - and has positioned KTM as a truly elevated, full-service leader in PR and marketing across Southern California.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Kue Studio’s project management was exceptional from start to finish. They consistently delivered every milestone on time - often ahead of schedule - and kept the entire process organized, transparent, and stress-free. Communication was always clear and proactive, with regular check-ins and progress updates that helped us stay aligned at every stage.

What really stood out was their thoughtfulness and flexibility. When our internal team needed extra time to review content or provide feedback, they graciously offered to “pause” the project so we wouldn’t burn through our budget unnecessarily. That level of consideration is rare, and it showed how invested they were in our success, not just in finishing the job.

Overall, they managed the project with professionalism, patience, and care - making the experience incredibly smooth and collaborative from day one.

What was your primary form of communication with Kue Studio?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most about Kue Studio was their willingness to take on every bold idea I threw their way - and not just meet expectations, but exceed them. I had a very specific creative vision for the new KTM website, with lots of movement, digital graphics, and unique animations that would make the experience feel dynamic and elevated.

Instead of pushing back or simplifying, they leaned in completely. The team embraced the challenge and executed transitions and animations they’d never done before, learning and innovating in real time to bring my vision to life. The end result is a site that feels fresh, modern, and distinctly “us.” Their creativity, technical skill, and can-do attitude truly set them apart.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Kue Studio could have done differently?

Honestly, no. Our experience with Kue Studio was excellent from start to finish. They were responsive, creative, organized, and delivered everything exactly as promised - often ahead of schedule. I truly wouldn’t change a thing about the process or the final product.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since the launch of the new Saffron Cowboy website, designed and developed by Kue, we’ve seen significant and measurable improvements across several key business areas:

1. Increased Brand Visibility
65% increase in website traffic within the first 60 days of launch, driven by organic search and social media referrals.
Website visitors now spend 2.5x more time on site, engaging with our brand story, menu, and event updates.
2. Higher Customer Engagement
Newsletter sign-ups grew by 40%, thanks to prominent CTAs and a clear value proposition.
Our inbound inquiries (collaborations, media, wholesale) doubled in the first quarter after launch.
3. Improved Conversion Rates
Conversion rate for event RSVPs and pre-orders increased by 30%, supported by intuitive user flows and clear design.
Bounce rate dropped by 22%, showing that visitors are finding what they need and staying longer.

Kue was also highly responsive to feedback. Whether it was a design tweak, a shift in our copy direction, or a last-minute change to a launch element, they handled it with flexibility and care—without compromising quality.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most about working with Kue was their rare ability to blend artistry with strategy. Another meaningful part of this project was working with an entire team of people of color—creatives who brought cultural insight, lived experience, and a shared sense of purpose to the work. That representation wasn’t just refreshing—it shaped a process that felt deeply aligned with our values and our audience.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Kue Studio could have done differently?

Our experience with Kue Studio was overwhelmingly positive, and we would work with them again in a heartbeat. 

One area for potential growth would be offering a few optional post-launch check-ins built into the scope—whether for analytics, performance review, or small refinements—could further strengthen the hand-off experience and support long-term client success.

That said, the professionalism, care, and follow-through Kue brought to every stage of the project more than outweighed any minor areas for improvement.

We needed to add more information for a new program we launched. However, we were having difficulty with the Wordpress backend to do this without altering the original layout. "Cards" representing our services were not laying out as we liked and buttons were jumping around the page. We needed improvement on our site navigation as well.
