Stray Dog® is an independent brand and digital studio based in Austin, working worldwide. Every project runs through the people who sold it — no account layer, no handoff to a junior team.
We work in two-week cycles with a shared board, one weekly call, and a written summary every Friday. You always know what shipped, what slipped, and why.
Fourteen brands, five categories. We take on four projects at a time.
A brand that tries to please everyone convinces no one. Every project starts by deciding what it is not.
Momentum is a feature. Long timelines breed committees; short ones breed decisions.
Before illustration, before photography, before effects — get the words and the letters right.
Guidelines, tokens, documented builds. A system you can run without us is the deliverable.
Positioning, naming, messaging and the argument for why anyone should care. Two weeks, one room, a written verdict.
Marks, type, colour, art direction and the guidelines that keep it intact after we leave.
Design and build, from a one-page statement to a full CMS. Fast, accessible, and handed over documented.
Film, 2D and 3D animation, sound. The part that makes a site feel like a place rather than a page.
