Our Short Story
Do Great Work.
Do Great Work On Time.
This golden rule has helped us navigate 15+ years of tough problems and even tougher deadlines. The importance of time can’t be understated. But sometimes, doing your best work means scrapping what you have and starting over. It means not being afraid of a great idea just because it may be difficult.
But how does someone sit down and “do great work?”
We think it begins with understanding the bigger picture.
We Build Traffic-Stopping Brands
For us, branding, digital, and content are all part of the same picture. So, we built an agency with deep expertise in each area, integrated to function in perfect harmony. From our experience, that is pretty rare. Ultimately, we create holistic brand worlds that encompass every moment of the consumer journey, both digitally and IRL.
We believe in the power of simplicity and focus on breaking down complicated ideas into easily organized components of a story.
People come to us to: launch their new brand or refresh their current one, create a best-in-class ecommerce experience, create digitally-native content, drive sales and awareness through paid campaigns, plan and manage their social accounts, and serve as an extension of their team.
We work in just about a 50/50 split between project and AOR partnerships, having worked with some of our partners for 10+ years. These partners range from pre-launch start-ups to big-brand fortune 500’s.
Our Proven Process
The Montoya Design approach to every engagement is to clarify and validate the business vision, develop an impactful brand strategy, then execute on the most appropriate and effective tools for ongoing client success. Rinse and repeat.

Our Services
- Discovery
- We meet with internal teams to discover insights and trouble points. We process existing research and briefs, or commission research as needed. We also research internal capabilities and implementation, to be considered when developing brand tools. Out of discovery, we arrive at a handful of key truths which pave the way for strategy.
- Brand Strategy
- We sort and re-sort our key takeaways from discovery to arrive at a succinct brand statement. We consider everything from purpose and personality, to competitive landscape and demographics, to resources and scale, in order to map out a smart way to execute on that statement.
- Brand Architecture
- We create usable hierarchy for new or unruly brands. We’re experts at taking complex input and creating smart structures that allow brands to grow.
- Branding
- Does your brand image and messaging need a complete overhaul? We take a holistic strategy to branding that satisfies your goals and projects a professional, unified appearance to users.
- Visual Identity
- We imbue all of our work with intelligence and great aesthetics. We empower our clients to communicate clearly with the consumer. And we create identities that are a visual expression of the brand personality.
- Print Media Design
- Looking for a unique way to connect with prospects and existing customers? Print media can stand on its own or complement your digital marketing initiatives. The possibilities and combinations are nearly endless.
- Logo Design
- In many cases, your logo is a user’s first exposure to your brand. Does your logo represent what your business is all about? We can help you update your existing logo or create a new one that truly speaks to your brand’s purpose.
- Writing
- We bring brands to life through language. We create language systems that embody a brand’s personality. From copywriting to tag-lines.
- Art Direction
- The image is often a core element of a brand. We bring our refined eye to shooting, both stills and live action.
- Marketing Strategy
- We value strategy above all else. We take a step back from solutions to identify and tackle underlying problems. Putting a Band-Aid on a bad digital marketing strategy won’t help you in the long run.
- Experience Design
- We help clients activate their brands across platforms, helping to create a variety of expressions of the brand voice. We wrangle complex technical constraints to create powerful experiences.
- Web Design
- When built right, your website can be a brand champion, customer service representative, and salesperson all in one. It starts with a well-built framework and a timeless visual design.
- UX
- Great user experience starts with an intuitive, easy-to-use website. In order to sell, you first need to understand who you’re selling to, what they need, and how you can help them.
- Ecommerce
- Whether you already have a brick and mortar storefront or you’re starting a new online business, your eCommerce site can make or break your long-term growth and success.
- Email Marketing & Automation
- Our experts use email marketing best practices that target prospects based on where they are in the buyer’s journey. This strategy is at the heart of our email automation services.
- Hosting & Maintenance
- Web hosting and maintenance services are often an afterthought. They’re typically thrown in at the end of a proposal or tacked on as an extra cost. But reliable web hosting and maintenance services can make a huge difference in your day-to-day business management.
