Brand strategy, identity, and positioning

Brand is a business problem disguised as a design problem. Marin is an independent, founder-led brand strategy and identity consultancy. We make companies easier to choose and harder to compete with: competitors can't claim their space, customers choose for clear reasons, and price stops being the only lever. We partner at pivotal moments, at launch, before expansion, or when the brand can no longer carry what comes next. The people who built the firm do the work. Clients include Hilton, Technicolor, and Vantiva, alongside regional brands and growth-stage companies.

Our Story

Marin is an independent, founder-led brand strategy and identity consultancy, started in 2013 by husband-and-wife team Michelle Marin and Michael Bassolino. We built it the way we prefer to work: close to the problem, accountable for the outcome. No layers, no handoffs. The people who built the firm do the work. We make companies easier to choose and harder to compete with, defining how they are positioned, understood, and chosen. We stay intentionally small to stay sharp.
