Our story

In 2007, the earliest days of Speak!, we had little more than a Mac, a used IKEA lamp and a picture of the Hawthorne bridge in a small office overlooking the county jail. There was no portfolio or client list to speak of. We paid the bills by taking on odd-job design projects from friends, family and former co-workers.

One step led to another, and today, Speak! works with some of the most admired brands in the world. We are a tight-knit SWAT team of status quo stompers in Portland and Minneapolis who help our clients solve problems and seize opportunities. Somewhere along the line we even won the same innovation award award as an infamous Tesla CEO, on the very same night.

That’s the more or less of it. But if you’re still curious, keep scrolling.

How We Work

We know some things. You know some things. Collectively, we know a lot of things. We believe the best work happens when we stop thinking of ourselves as a client and an agency. But instead as one strange but strangely effective team. Just a bunch of smart folks in cahoots — building ideas, and building on those ideas some more. And then some more. And then . . . well you get the point. 
OUR PROCESS

Your Brand is in Good Hands

We're here to help technology companies build indelible brands that inspire and motivate their customers to action. Our motivation is a world where every technology company creates meaningful and enduring customer connections.

What sets us apart from other creative firms is that we unify all the services required to build or reinvent a brand—strategy, messaging, and design—without the overhead of a larger agency. Our experienced pros, work with you across all phases so you never get the "B" team. We keep things lean, simple and straightforward.
