Background.
Studio 420 is a subsidiary of Planet Media, established in 1999 in San Francisco, California, and founded by Kurt Whitt.
We're an accomplished digital agency designed to solve complex communication challenges. We position brands to improve awareness, engagement and loyalty among customers and employees.
As senior-level strategists, writers, designers and producers, we develop strategic programs, messaging platforms and identity systems, and we execute on every level of brand marketing and communications.
As a boutique branding, website design and digital marketing agency, Studio 420 works closely with its clients to define and develop their identity, position and presence in their marketplace.
Small team. Real support. Full transparency.
We walk beside you
Not ahead of you, not behind you. You are consulted and advised at every stage, from the first strategy call to the final launch checklist, and every decision is made with you in the room.
Real people, real support
You always talk to the people doing the work. We answer within one business day, and we stay after launch with maintenance, fixes and honest advice, for as long as you need us.
One shared workspace
Every project lives in Basecamp, our online collaboration hub. Messages, files, to-dos and timelines in one place, visible in real time, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Small on purpose, always current
Senior specialists only, no layers, no juniors learning on your budget. And our toolkit never falls behind: high-performance web builds, marketing automation and AI, applied where they actually help your brand.
From our founder
We approach every project in the true spirit of partnership. You will always get our best work and utmost attention, no matter what your marketing budget.
