Strategically led, no fluff or BS, just grounded thinking that gets to the essence.

Making Complex Simple
The marketing environment has changed more in the last 5 years than it has in the last 50. The rapid rise of digital, the changing role for traditional channels and a more connected and informed consumer means brands are in a state of constant evolution. At the same time, the media landscape has become more complicated at the cost of transparency, making it more difficult for businesses to ensure they are getting the most of their brand and marketing investment.

We solve this important problem by driving greater transparency, accountability, value and perhaps most importantly through creative solutions that have cut through.

Steph Boyle
Co-founder SO Creative / Creative Director

And when it comes to her work, Steph is savvy, sharp, symbolic and a great story teller! It was during her 10 years of designing advertising for various brands that she found her true creative niche – problem solving for brands. Even though she spends time problem solving on the computer, she still loves to use pencil and paper wherever possible for a project, revisiting her childhood where she’d spend hours listening to music (that still happens) while drawing.

She loves a good pun and her branding projects reveal her passion for symbolism but say the words ‘creative freedom’ when talking about a project and she won’t let you down. Her ideas and concepts are built on her ability to listen to your story (over coffee of course) and her understanding of the importance of creating an emotional connection, trust and recognition through branding, communication and design.

Olivia Smith
Co-founder SO Creative

And when it comes to her work, Olivia is original, organised, outstanding, and obsessed with what she does! As a marketing, design & communications professional, her rap sheet includes big brands like Europcar and RACV. The accolades began in her tertiary studies, and they’ve continued throughout her career.

Her 20 years of experience has covered the tourism, retail, professional services, property development and manufacturing industries. She’s obsessed with brands, what they say and who they talk to. At university her major was ‘Psychology in advertising’, and she’ll tell you this was the single most profound knowledge she received. It catapulted a career that morphed from design into marketing – for her a seamless transition, for the businesses she’s worked with, an unmatchable combination, delivering results.
