ABOUT
Matchstic is a house of creative professionals, each bringing unique skills and perspectives to the table. From the co-founders Craig Johnson and Blake Howard, to the brand strategists, designers, and copywriters, each member plays a pivotal role in shaping the brand identities they work on. While Matchstic's office is based in Atlanta, they operate as a fully remote company, adhering to three core principles: courage, truth, and harmony.

They advocate for boldness, prioritizing genuine relationships and outcomes. Their human approach leads to straightforward and intelligent work. They encourage understanding and empathetic interpretation of others' intentions, words, and actions. These principles shape their distinct strategy in branding.

Matchstic stands out from the typical branding agency. They identify as "Curiously Offbeat", comprised of a diverse team of strategists, designers, writers, illustrators, photographers, artists, collaborators, and branding experts.
They are not a full-service agency, a marketing execution firm, or a PR firm; instead, they have carved out a niche in the market as a brand identity house that focuses on making brands "Radically Relevant".
