About Us
The very definition of curation lends itself to what is at the core of RubyOnyx Marketing & Creative.
curation
/kjʊ(ə)ˈreɪʃn/
noun
the action or process of selecting, organising, and looking after the items in a collection.
A brand is just that, a collection of many elements that make you who you are and convey what your business is all about.
And to build a brand you have to be passionate; you have to have a vision and you have to go all in.
Brand Curators Amanda Dennis and Kirsti Reynolds have passion, they have vision, and they will always go all in.
They don’t work FOR their clients; they work WITH their clients. This style of working relationship they build with clients results in a solid brand, both in design and strategic direction. They work with you to understand your goals and your objectives but most importantly to ensure you end up with a brand that represents YOU.
Branding is not just a name. It’s visual presence, it’s content, it’s an experience, it’s a relationship, it’s a personality, it’s what makes you different, it’s consistency and it should be what makes you unforgettable.
“Branding should not be approached with a one size fits all attitude. Branding is what sets you apart, it’s what allows you to tell your story, in short, it’s your identity”. – Kirsti Reynolds –
Having worked with some of this country’s biggest and well-known companies, the team at RubyOnyx have the experience and the knowledge needed to bring your brand to life.
