About
Collide is a distributed branding team where strong brands are built in collaboration between entrepreneurs and independent brand makers.
We don’t subscribe to the traditional agency model, and we have replaced the classic hierarchy with horizontal management. We team up with independent specialists with proven expertise and build partnerships across businesses. Thus, each team member understands the whole project, sees their role in it, and knows how to achieve the goals.
