Recently Studio Blackburn rebranded SO Energy and their great print and digital campaign called ‘We mean Green’ which ran for eight weeks used to promote the environmental benefits of rail travel during COP26... which when posted on Instagram few ‘creatives’ reacted to.

EP03 Studio.Build

My guest joining me today is Michael C Place, founder and Creative Director of Studio Build.

Studio Build is an award-winning creative agency with an international reputation for creating strong visual narratives.

Michael has worked with Nike, Made, The Stow Brothers and Generation Press, amongst others.

I first met Micheal at an ‘twitter meet up’ in Shoreditch London probably back in 2015? It was the first time we had met, and found out that we both really like Duval, which is probably one of the best beers and beer logos out there.

He’s worked with many talented clients such as Gary Hustwit who directed such great creative films from Objectified, Urbanized and Helvetica to name a few.
