Simplifying the path between challenge and change

Change is hard. And, the route to it is rarely without a fork, detour or roadblock or two. When the way forward is hindered by barriers bespoke to your brand, Capsule calls it a ‘special project.’ Leveraging our disciplines in research, strategy, messaging and design, we provide a process, perspective and final product that’s tailored to your brand’s transformation journey and simplifies your path between challenge and change.

THERE'S ONLY A THREE LETTER DIFFERENCE, AFTER ALL.

WHAT MAKES A PROJECT SPECIAL?

Whether you prefer to call it a quirk, an outlier or a curveball, we believe every brand has at least one piece of their puzzle that doesn't quite match the picture on the box. We’re drawn to special projects where the challenge is so unique it stands out like a sore thumb. Where no Google search term known to man exists to save you. Where complexity grows exponentially. Where the capacity of internal teams have hit their limits, and timelines and bottom lines have been all but exhausted. Where the road less traveled is the optimal route. 


TYPES OF PROJECTS

We’ve found that a project achieves special status when it falls into one of the following categories: 

Crafting concepts from the ground up
Distilling distinct parts and unique voices into one cohesive story
BGM
Carving out a brand’s distinct spot in a crowded space
Fine tuning experiences to reduce friction and improve functionality
Pivoting your identity to reflect a new direction or underscore a core value
Creating opportunities to unlock new growth potential

Bespoke doesn’t begin to describe…
