With a decade of experience in design, editing, brand building, and event marketing, our core team brings together a unique suite of expertise to help your business achieve its marketing and branding goals.
Design
One of the most powerful tools that businesses and organizations can use to their competitive advantage is great design. Whether you have an established brand or need help with the basics, we can deliver an interactive solution that ties in seamlessly with the rest of your marketing efforts. If you don't have a fully developed identity, don't worry. We can help with that too.
Development & Technology
Websites developed by Act 2 Studio are built on the architecture of Drupal, a powerful, open source content management system (CMS). Drupal has a nearly decade long track record of providing an award winning CMS solution backed by thousands of developers from around the world. The benefits to you include: no proprietary licensing fees, constant development of new functionalities, and a powerful blend of features.
How we do it
Our creative process engages our clients in 3 stages: explore, design, and deliver. Exploration engages the client in idea generation sessions to help us understand the client’s goals. At the same time, we explore on our own to discover and present relevant industry research and benchmarks. In the design stage, ideas come to life as we develop designs that match the client’s requirements. Finally, a thorough, multi-step feedback process leads to final project files being delivered to the client.
Who we are
Act 2 Studio is led by Zarghun Dean. A media and design veteran, Dean spent a decade as founder, publisher, and editor of TRIBEZA, the voice of Austin's creative class. During his tenure, Dean and TRIBEZA received numerous accolades, including the John G. Flowers Award for Excellence in the Promotion of Architecture in the Media, the Austin-American Statesman’s “Fortunate 500,” and the Austin Under 40 Awards for Arts & Entertainment.
Although all design and development work is done in-house, we rely on a network of writers, photographers, illustrators, and editors to meet our clients’ objectives. Each project has its own unique set of goals and challenges. Our approach allows us to create a custom team that is best suited to meet your project’s goals and objectives.
