Martin Piper
"Meaningful Shit", Ideation, Collaboration, Branding, Consultation, "Being better" Partner
A 25-year industry veteran, Martin is a recognized leader with a proven track record as a troubleshooting and ideation specialist. Working in everything from external signage and architecture to printing and finishing, he moved onwards to television and promotions where he honed his craft as a leader designing collateral for 3 television stations. He followed this with a 5-year stint in technology and training and finally landed in craft beer as a creative director, taking on all identity responsibilities from branding and packaging to full-scaled releases and activations.
Building this arsenal of skillsets was the result of an unrelenting appetite for learning. First, the extensivity of available vehicles used to convey messages. And second, the importance of a unified visual language to reach a larger more versatile audience to take full advantage of a literal strength in numbers.
