Consumers are not very familiar with communicating with brands through a television set, a radio, or on a postcard to a stranger, but thanks to the crazy number of hours they spend every day on them, they do understand Snapchat, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and Periscope. Conversely, advertisers get how to talk at audiences through TV, radio, and print — even online — but they rarely know how to speak to or with them, which is the golden opportunity digital marketing affords brands.

A NEW BRAND DAY

What we do at Heresy is find ways of helping a company’s unique brand voice communicate directly to its audiences using methods they will enjoy and welcome rather than tolerate or block. As a brand or marketing director, or the leader of a business, your goal is to be be top of mind in a positive light and we want to make sure you’e doing so for both short- and long-term benefit in the social mobile digital universe by using every advantage available.

Our team enjoys nothing more than a creative technical challenge that revolves around being true to a brand.

Established in 2010, Heresy is an independent, virtual, creatively driven digital branding agency headquartered in Austin, Texas with talent situated all over the world from Toronto to Singapore.

Who are we? We’re a collection of award-winning creative directors, strategists, art directors, writers, designers, and developers who share a common thread having worked together for years in teams in the most senior positions at some of the top ad agencies around the world.

SERVICES

Digital strategy

We know a digital strategy involves more than a web site and a few banner ads. Every business has a unique need. And every one of them deserves a unique solution. As we’ve been involved in global online campaigns since their inception on the Web, we know what’s been done, what’s been shunned, and what’s still to come.

Brand strategy

If we’ve learned anything over the years it’s that we don’t know your brand better than you… even if we do. But what we do know is how to help you and your audiences get the most out of it.

Site and app design

There are no words our writers could pen to describe our passion for designing some of the most engaging and user-focused web sites and mobile apps in the world. So we recommend taking a look for yourself in our portfolio section where several of our award-winning projects are described.

Animation and illustration

Whether motion graphics, animatics or our unique animated illustrations our artists offer years of experience interpreting brands from a graphic perspective. Since we do it all in-house, we can offer prices that won’t make your head spin. Unless you want us to create an avatar of your head spinning. Hey, that would look really cool.

Technical development

Our developers aren’t buried in a basement dungeon without windows, surrounded by their Star Wars figurines. They’re Trekkies. And front-and-center at every meeting with the planners and other creatives, involved in the process from beginning to end. Although we have to admit, sometimes they do bring their action figures.

Graphic design
and art direction

What it must be like to view the world through some of our art directors’ and designers’ eyes. No, really. They live and work in cool places like Singapore, Brisbane, Shanghai, New York, San Francisco, and Austin. In their work, maybe you’ll see what they’ve seen.

Copywriting

Our scribes have honed their craft over decades, writing award-winning copy and content for countless Fortune 500 companies and brands. That kind of sustained dedication can only be born from the sad reality of never having sold a screenplay.
