About us

Origami was founded
to inject more rigour
into brand development.

Coming from business backgrounds, we know that branding isn’t just another word for marketing or advertising.

It’s about identifying the essence of what you do, distilling it down to a core promise that everyone in the company understands and believes in, and delivering it every time your customers interact with your company, or service, or product.

When that happens it inspires and ignites transformational business change.
