Welcome. In lieu of your normally scheduled agency-landing-page-back-slappery we've assembled some simple and direct answers to the first few questions that seem to be on anyone's mind when introduced to Ocupop.
Ocu-What?
Ocupop is what the industry-types would call a boutique agency. Between our principals, designers and a select set of trusted sub-contractors and interns, we offer everything from brand strategy and identity systems, to printed and digital collateral, to software, environments, interiors, and consumer products for clients of nearly any scale.
Our size affords us the agility to adapt to clients’ individual circumstances, while our experience, ingenuity, and unwillingness to sleep assures insightful, holistic, sustainable solutions in all variety of creative capacities.
OCUPOP: Ocu – eye, pertaining to sight: Pop – Popular Culture…easy to say, easy to spell (and the dot com url was still available in 2003). So there you go, answers number one and two to “Ocupop, what is that?”

Ocu-Why?
Why work with us? Well, because you’ll actually be working WITH us, that’s one huge reason why. No account planners, no middle men, no slick sales-sters, and none of the overhead that goes along with ‘em! We interface directly with decision makers and fanatically pursue perfection in planning, execution, and implementation. Projects are completed quickly and efficiently, and with refreshing candor and commitment…always aspiring to the ideal that we work WITH you, not for you.

Again, to be perfectly candid, we’re in this game to make our clients’ brands perform…and as such, we will fight and scrap and claw and beg until we’re satisfied that the result is nothing short of exemplary.
So, if you are looking for switchboards, hold music, synergy, ideation, and enough buzz-words to fill a conference room, we’re probably not the ONE. But, if you love what you do and are proud of your company, your product and your employees, chances are we might fit right in. We thrive on relationships of mutual respect, commitment and enjoyment – WITH our clients, our collaborators and each other; we’re all in this together right?
Ocu…hmmmmmm.
Too often the conversation stops here…staring across the table, agencies and clients make a few ill-founded assumptions of cost and compatibility and move on. This is never the way it should be – this isn’t a poker game, it’s a relationship. So in an effort to keep bluffing (real or perceived) from getting in the way, here’s a few of the cards we’ve got in our hand…

Ocu-Who?
“Who do you do work for? Have you done anything I would have seen?”
We have worked with clients of every imaginable size, with budgets from meager to massive, but above all else, we try to provide insightful, powerful, and sustainable design and marketing solutions that resonate with our clients and their customers. We’ve worked with mega-brands like Burton, Trek, and Puma, and at the same time have built countless long-standing relationships with boutique brands in industries ranging from finance to plush toys.
Below are a few examples that we hope illustrate the scale and scope of our aptitude and experience…and if these five Case Studies aren’t enough, there are plenty more right here… (and oh yeah, the answers to your questions are, everybody, and probably not)
