Studio Nine is a strategy & creative consultancy. We partner with ambitious companies on a simple bet: that the best work happens when strategy and execution are made in the same room, by a small, senior team that cares as much about the craft as the strategy.
Get the strategy right, and everything else follows.
Studio Nine was founded in London in 2017 on the belief that strategy compounds when the work in market stays faithful to it, and that ambitious companies don’t need more vendors. They need partners who can think and make in the same conversation. We work with founders and growth-stage teams, pre-seed to Series C, on scoped projects and ongoing retainers. Every project starts with Listen, before any design decision is made.
Decks are deliverables. Strategy is what the team chooses to do every Monday morning. We design for the second one.
Every project is led by a senior partner. We don’t sell down to juniors. We don’t grow to be big. We grow to be sharper.
We measure ourselves by the decisions our work helps clients make, not by how many files we hand over.
Quality of craft isn’t a vibe; it’s compounding interest on every customer impression. We argue for craft like we argue for budget.
Studio Nine is a strategy and creative consultancy based in London. The studio was founded in 2017 by Simon Lodge, and Nine Marketing Studios Ltd trades as Studio Nine. It partners with ambitious companies, founders and growth-stage operators, from pre-seed to Series C. Studio Nine works with clients across the UK, US and Europe.
Every Studio Nine engagement is led by a senior partner, never handed down to juniors. The studio spans five capabilities: Strategy, Brand, Campaign, Digital and Systems. Work is sized to the brief and held accountable to the number it is meant to move. Studio Nine often serves as the outsourced marketing function for the companies it works with.
Studio Nine has partnered with Harbinger, Team, Mercado Labs, InfinitForm, Landi Technologies, ElectroTempo and OW Logistics. Mercado Labs worked with the studio from pre-seed to its 2024 acquisition by CargoWise. The studio publishes its thinking in a regular journal on strategy, brand and modern marketing operations. Studio Nine is based in London and available worldwide for remote engagements.
The best work starts with a conversation, and a decision worth making.
