Off course you need a great portfolio, some known logos in the clients area, and a cool identity. But can’t you be a little bit funny or something? What if I tell you that over 65% of the clients would choose a design studio with at least one joke on the homepage? OK, not true, but Hey, nobody made this kind of study yet!

Thanks for the list! Great Stuff!
Hey gents, thanks for the nod. Undoubtedly, we get more inquiries about work through our personalities on the website than anywhere else. People like to work with people who are talented, trust-worthy, and like-able. If we can knock out 2 out of 3, right out of the gate, why not?
Cheers,

You have great examples of humour that works. The thing is it has to be carefully thought and and executed well or it can backfire. And of course it goes without saying that the portfolio can’t be weak – otherwise being clever doesn’t matter….
