Elevate your taste. Don't replace it.

Creative by Request

Tools for the good of creativity.

Creative by Request is a creative studio working across strategy, brand, communications and operations. We build creative intelligence, or Ci: tools that elevate creative taste without replacing it.

We take what a company is trying to say and make it unmistakable, then make sure the business behind it can actually deliver on the promise.

What we do

Four disciplines, one studio.

Most problems that look creative are really a strategy problem wearing a creative costume, or an operations problem that surfaced as a message nobody believes. We work across all four so the answer holds together.

Strategy

Choosing what not to do. Fewer, sharper bets, and the discipline to protect them once they're made.

  • Positioning and differentiation
  • Portfolio and offer decisions
  • Pricing posture

Brand & creative

Identity and creative work that survives being shrunk, reprinted and read by someone who isn't paying attention.

  • Identity systems and art direction
  • Packaging and product presentation
  • Web and digital experience

Marketing & communications

A clear point of view people can recognise, believe and want to belong to, not a list of features.

  • Messaging and narrative
  • Campaign strategy and channels
  • Launch and go-to-market

Operations

Operations exist to protect the promise the brand makes. The inside should feel as intentional as the outside looks.

  • Process and documentation
  • Creative and approval workflow
  • Systems that outlast the person who built them

How we work

A system we believe in.

  • Strategy is the act of choosing what not to do.
  • Simplicity is a competitive advantage, not a style.
  • Great marketing starts with a great product. No message rescues an ordinary one.
  • If a brand is for everyone, it is for no one.
  • Work should be long-lasting, and thorough down to the last detail.

Introducing, Tars.

Your in-house creative partner.

Tars is a Ci advisor we built and use ourselves. It reads your own strategy, brand and operations documents and answers from them, so it argues from your principles rather than from generic best practice. Your company beliefs built into the model.

Context

Answers grounded in your own documents, not in whatever the internet averages out to.

Sight

Upload a deck, brief or a contract and let Tars be your guide.

Reasoning

Tars reasons with your core context documents and judges its reasoning based on your company standards across marketing, creative, comms, and strategy.

Introducing, Case.

It asks to see.

Case is a conversation. Talk to it about whatever you are looking at, and when seeing the thing would actually change the answer, it says so and asks you to hold it up. Then it looks, and picks up where you left off.

No account, nothing to install. The picture is described and dropped: nothing is written to disk, and nothing leaves our building. Case runs on the same hardware as Tars, air-gapped, with no inbound internet access.

Also from the studio

Tars Vision. Projection for all to see.

A real-time visual tool for live work: generative projection loops you shape and run from a browser, with nothing to install. Built for stages, installations and screens, and free, with no account, no model behind it and nothing to sign up for.
