The ideas that connect us through art, literature, culture and scholarship are expressed and appreciated through our brand consulting philosophy. We seek to define why these ideas have power, and to express that power through image and language— to produce human experiences that awaken, illuminate, and attract.
To see our philosophy in action, view our work.
Andrew Beck and Austin Stone founded Beck & Stone out of the conviction that brand challenges can be solved with strategic application of informed design principles. A deliberate pursuit of beauty and wisdom in presentation and functionality is key to the management and growth of influential brands.
This philosophy informs our:
Design

We always grounds our creative work in the aesthetic tradition that best fits your organization’s culture. Literature, dialectic, and fine arts each offer unique motifs that we can weave into your visual identity. We also eagerly hire and nurture talent with the intellectual curiosity and passion to create under these stimulating constraints.

Strategy
Business strategists have been crucial to enterprising ventures since ancient times. Cicero’s treatise De Officiis describes the importance of careful planning before setting out: “In all business affairs, prior to commencing, diligent preparation ought to be employed”. Beck & Stone’s strategy team prides itself on the diligent preparation and execution of your goals-oriented action plan and the minutiae of carrying it out.
Consulting

Nobody can master every art, but leading an organization often demands a broad scope of mastery. That’s why you need consultants with a broad range of skills, experience, and connections who can navigate the twists and turns of your undertaking. But instead of understanding your vision and coming alongside you, the largest consulting firms will only try to make you align with their vision of what a company should be. Not Beck & Stone—we select for clients whose mission and culture we can understand and embrace, and consult in earnest.
“Thanks for your excellent advice and collaboration. We’re grateful to have Beck & Stone as a partner.”
