In June last year, Instagram shared that they are no longer classifying itself as a photo-sharing app, and the drastic changes haven’t stopped from there. We have seen Reels take off, Stories get new features and purpose (with all users
In the world of social media, it is commonly perceived that things posted online are ingenuine or staged and more of a highlight reel than reality. Therefore, the notion of authenticity can sometimes go astray. For businesses and brands, appearing
Often people think that once they have a logo, they have a brand. This is not the case. A brand – including your website design – is your company’s entire identity, from who you are and what you stand for
“Let’s go viral!” – is a phrase that’s definitely easier said than done. However, going ‘viral’ may not be as beneficial as you might think – especially for a business trying to grow on a new platform. TikTok, the rapidly
We’ve said it a hundred times before, but we’ll say it again – your brand is SO much more than your logo. All the best brands we love have comprehensive branding strategies that have allowed them to grow into the
After two years of being in and out of lockdown, many workplaces are back in the office full time. As a result of time apart, growing teams and a new ‘normal’, team bonding is an important way to ensure your
The speed at which the web development space is changing is rapid. Navigating this landscape and adapting to changes plays a significant role in the work of web developers, as well as the companies they work for. The ability to
Jeff Bezos, Executive Chairman of Amazon, put it well when he said, “A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn your reputation by trying to do the hard things well.” Essentially, you can’t just
Your reputation is the most important thing when it comes to your business. There’s no point in having a great branding strategy if your company has a reputation for poor customer service or a bunch of negative online reviews. Just
We don’t believe the best brand stories are invented.
They’re found in the reasons a business began, the decisions made along the way and the people behind it. The things they care about, do differently, and perhaps don’t even realise are interesting anymore.
Often, you’re too close to your own business to see what someone else might find remarkable.
That’s why we ask questions, listen and look a little closer.
The story is already there. You just have to know where to look.
At the heart of @joannaphotography.au’s new identity is a refined wordmark designed to balance timeless elegance with a sense of movement and connection.
A sophisticated serif typeface was chosen for its enduring quality, warmth and understated premium feel. The letterforms evoke a sense of craftsmanship and longevity, reflecting the brand’s focus on creating imagery that grows in meaning over time.
Connection between the A and N introduces a sense of movement and continuity, symbolising the relationships, stories and moments that unfold throughout life.
This is why we start with your story. It’s often where the most distinctive part of a brand identity is hiding.

There’s nothing more terrifying than the invasion of AI-generated social posts.
Except, perhaps, thinking branding is just a logo.

What makes a brand memorable?
It’s a question we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about.
Over the years, through workshops, conversations, research and more strategy documents than we could count, we started to notice the same themes appearing.
The stories that shaped a business. The beliefs behind it, where it’s going and the people it exists for. How it shows up, the perspective it brings, the impact it wants to make, and whether what it’s building can last.
These are the things we consistently investigate. So we gave each one a mark.
Past > Beliefs > Future > Connection > Identity > Expression > Impact > Longevity
Together, they form our Eight Mark Philosophy. A way of looking a little closer at what already exists within a business and finding the things that can make its brand unmistakably its own.

A few months into life at Oraco and Kannika is already deep in content plans, client shoots, brand partnerships and lots of ideas for our own branding along the way.
She brings a background in content creation, social media and influencer partnerships, but what we’re loving most is the perspective she brings to the work and the questions she asks along the way.
Very glad to have this face around the studio 🤎
On location with supervision 🤎
We loved teaming up with @joannaphotography.au on this shoot for @waltarahomes.
Together, we created a library of authentic, high-quality content that helps tell the brand`s story across socials, websites, campaigns and beyond.
A well-planned content shoot means months of purposeful content, giving brands the confidence to show up consistently and connect with their audience.
And of course, no shoot would be complete without Bobby, Scott`s very dedicated on-site supervisor, making sure everything ran smoothly 🐾
