Studio Tomo is a branding collective that partners with leaders committed to building a better world for all.

We’re a collective of independent strategists, designers, developers, writers, researchers, publicists, and marketers with deep experience in nonprofit branding, marketing, and communications.

 TESTIMONIALS

James led the branding strategy and messaging work for our organization and we now have a clearer, sharper sense of how we convey who we are to the public. He brought a keen eye and ear — and a sense of humor — to the entire process.
— Nick Hodges, SVP & COO, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors
 
I had the privilege of working with James when my team hired him to advise us on how to create a strong and unique value proposition and point of view. We left with a clearer purpose and restored energy, and we are still building off of that impactful time to this day.
— Ashley Rigby, Regional Sales Manager, Herman Miller
 
James brought structure and clarity, amplified the humanity in our work, and through a combination of grit and creativity, helped develop some of our boldest ideas, which challenged our clients to up their ambition.
— Andrew Chern, Principal, SYPartners
 
James is gifted at helping organizations find their unique essence. He’s also a pleasure to deal with — smart, fast, and unusually adept at managing complex projects with a large set of stakeholders who aren’t always singing the same song.
— Marci Alboher, VP Narrative Change, Encore.org
 
James was not only a consultant doing his utmost to deliver on his promises to his client, but he was an extension of our team. He has remained a responsive and trusted advisor.
— Matisse Bustos-Hawkes, Communications Director, WITNESS
