Who we are

M81 is a strategic branding studio located in Toronto, Canada. We’ve helped over 100+ small businesses launch premium brands and websites.

Curious by nature. Our approach begins with a deep understanding of your business. We work to understand who you are, where you are going and who you are talking to.

This allows us to design a brand that looks great, connects with your target audience and is strategic in its positioning.

Relationships are at the heart of this process and every business is unique. We always take time to learn about you, your goals, and how you define success before we start working on the solution.

The M81 process helped us refine our thinking and clarify our vision. Our new brand system is an absolute grand slam home run.

Our Method

The North Star Approach

Your brand’s North Star is the promise it makes to your customers. It’s the “only-ness” that sets you apart from the competition. Not sure what your North Star is?

It can be impossible to score when you don’t know where the goal is. A comprehensive brand strategy gives everyone an easy-to-grasp understanding of what your purpose is. When we’re all aligned on the same brand purpose, we begin looking at the same North Star. We finally have a goal to take aim.

The M81 methodology helps you uncover your brand’s purpose, sets you apart from your competition, and attracts the type of clients who believe in what you believe.
