We’re a branding agency focused on helping athletes, teams and brands tell their stories, build their communities and maximize their potential.
Our Story
We've seen first-hand the power and influence that sports command. The ability to unite people. The ability to inspire people. The ability to impact people. It’s a tremendous platform with immense potential. However, we've also seen that without a cohesive strategy and consistent, compelling content, the potential often goes unfulfilled.
Based on that belief, we launched Brandfly Studios. We're a branding agency headquartered in Detroit who pride ourselves on creating powerful content for our clients and their fans. Our passion is fueled by our love for problem solving, storytelling, brand building and the belief that there is no better platform than sports in which to do it. With an experienced and nimble team of creative talent, we will help every athlete, every team and every brand fulfill and exceed their potential.
