( 01 )Who runs it

  1. 01

    “Decides how the brand looks, and why.”

    Karlos Valero

    Art direction · Brand

    Disciplines
    Identity · Packaging · Art direction
    Delivery
    System, applied guidelines and final artwork
    Rule
    Concept before execution
    How they work

    He always starts with the inventory: what carries the client’s name today and what state it is in. The concept comes from there, not from a moodboard. He prints before approving and writes the guidelines while designing, not afterwards.

  2. 02

    “Decides how it behaves, and writes it in code.”

    Kayro Valero

    Design and development · Web and software

    Disciplines
    UI design · Front-end · Custom software

    Site or system, repository and living guide

    How they work

    He designs the interface and builds it himself, so there is no translation or handoff to get lost. The design variables in the guidelines and the ones in the code are the same file. He measures performance before delivering and leaves the repository documented so the client can carry on without them.

    “Decides what to say, to whom, and on which channel.”

    Strategy first, channels after
    How they work

    He sorts out the business before touching the channels: what it sells, to whom, with which message and where. He leads marketing strategy and communication, and coordinates implementation with design and development so every campaign is measured from first contact to sale. He also leads Mamás Seguras, an ADISIV initiative with international reach, directing campaigns, content and partnerships.

( 02 )Who we work well with

We work well with

  • People who have a decision to make and can make it.
  • Companies that already sell something and need to look like it.
  • Small teams where the person who approves is in the meeting.
  • Clients who prefer one argument to three options.

We are not for

  • Anyone who needs five pieces a week.
  • Projects with a six-person approval committee.
  • Anyone looking for the lowest price on the market.
  • Brands that want to start without defining who they sell to.

( 03 )Manifesto

Simple doesn’t mean easy.

Behind a clear solution are questions, tests and decisions.

We choose what adds value and take care of every detail so brand, communication and technology work in the same direction.
