SouthSouthWest is a branding and design company from Melbourne, Australia. We work with clients from around the world to maximise the value of their product, service, organisation or region through applied creativity. We specialise in tackling the question of identity; thinking big and applying broadly.
The studio is recognised for clarity of thought. Our process bridges insight and intuition, enabling us to work with focus across diverse challenges. Always hungry for new horizons, we will continue to grow locally and across the globe through partnerships built on respect.
Service offering
Our service offering starts with the understanding and definition of identity. We undertake research, develop a strategy and test creative ideas until we have a holistic answer. Having established a considered framework we bring together our creative team to build the story across all channels.
We have high level, hands on experience executing across online, broadcast, publication and social mediums. We see image making, photography, illustration and video as core tools for telling a story and have in-house resources allocated to delivering all of these with a clear, single voice.
Team
Andy Sargent
Creative Director
Andy runs fast and hard; on the track and in the work he creates. His personal approach is to listen intently and consider deeply, driving the creative process forward with energy and purpose.
He is a true collaborative thinker with strong links to industry, having been a former councillor of AGDA (Vic), a current Australian Africa Business Council board member and a prolific public speaker on all things design and creativity.
Adam Gibson
Creative Director
Adam is a purist. As a surfer of the wind and waves he understands the power of elemental forces; a notion which has always informed his creative approach. He brings to the team a holistic understanding of the theory and practice of typography-driven design across all mediums, with particular focus on the expression of identity online.
With over ten years experience behind the lens Adam is an authority in the area of photography and a sought after speaker on creativity in the modern world.
Jonathan Price
Director of Strategy
Jonathan bridges the gap. He has spent the last twelve years finding creative solutions to business challenges within a brand and design studio environment. He connects psychology, economics and language with design thinking to create strategies that work.
Within the team he works between strategy, client service, concept and editorial development. The underlying passion which informs his approach is an admiration for the rogue creativity of conceptual art.
Jesse Mallon
Designer
Jesse is a skilled designer with a unique sense of composition and typography. In his fours years of industry experience working in studios across Melbourne he has achieved outcomes well beyond his years, across print and digital mediums.
He has particular interest in cultural projects where he brings a broad depth of social understanding to every brief.
