MEET RYAN URRY
Ryan Urry is a South African brand strategist and designer focused on finding and solving the problems that sit beneath a business's branding.
Rather than starting with what a brand should look like, Ryan looks at why it isn't working in the first place: unclear positioning, weak differentiation, inconsistent communication, poor brand foundations or an identity that no longer reflects the business.
Through his work and the development of BlackBerd Studio, Ryan explores the intersection of brand strategy, identity design, business and creative problem-solving.
His perspective is simple:
Don't just make the brand look better. Figure out why it isn't working.
