We specialize in strategy, creative, and production, spanning digital and physical projects. Hott Studio is powered by a lean team of two with a network of collaborators, which enables us to bring ideas to life without the bloat of a large agency. In short, we produce the biggest bang for your buck.
Our work is grounded in our philosophy of Minimum Viable Brand. We believe that simplicity, consistency, and potency enable growing brands to punch above their weight. So, we start with strategy to unearth the essential needs of your company. We then go all-in on high-value areas that actually move the needle.
