Brand strategy, technology, and creative production for growing beauty and wellness brands. Work with us before hiring, while building your team, or alongside it, through a focused project or a 3–6-month partnership.

What you get

✦ Strategy

Define your positioning, understand your cultural context, and create a clear architecture for your brand. Paula turns that direction into practical guidance for your messaging, content, and creative decisions.

✦ Technology

Mark builds and improves websites, backend systems, customer questionnaires, and data collection workflows. He implements AI agents and operational automation, and helps prepare your website and product information for AI-led commerce and discovery.

✦ Creative

Nina leads campaigns, photography, video, and design, from creative development and production planning to the finished assets. We assemble the specialist talent needed for your brief, with deliverables, timing, and production costs agreed in your proposal.

✦ One team. A scope shaped around you.

Start with a focused project or a 3–6-month partnership. We agree the priorities, deliverables, team, timeline, and investment around your needs. The brand audit is an optional first engagement.

Three leads. One main contact.

Paula is your main contact and leads brand strategy, positioning, cultural positioning, and brand architecture. Mark leads technology, from websites and backend systems to AI implementation. Nina leads creative production across campaigns, photography, video, and design.

We bring in photographers, filmmakers, editors, and other specialists where the agreed scope calls for them. You can engage one discipline or bring our capabilities together around your priorities.

You're not behind. You're just building in the wrong order.

For founders building brands meant to endure

✦ You’re building in beauty or wellness.

✦ You’ve moved beyond figuring things out.

✦ You care about depth, not just attention.

✦ You can feel the category shifting.

How we think about brand

✦ Start with the thinking.

Beautiful design matters. But before we make something look right, we want to understand what it needs to say. We start with what your brand stands for, who it’s for, and what makes it worth choosing. Then we build from there

✦ Stay curious about culture.

We pay attention to trends, but we’re more interested in what sits underneath them. The shifts in culture, behaviour, and taste that tell us where people are going, and where your brand has the opportunity to go with them.

✦ Make clarity useful

Strategy shouldn’t live in a deck. It should make the everyday decisions easier, what to say, how to show up, where to focus, and what to leave behind. When the thinking is clear, everything gets a little easier.

✦ Make it feel inevitable

The best brands don’t feel like they’re trying too hard to be different. They feel like they’ve found the thing that was there all along. That’s what we’re looking for: the idea that makes everything else click into place.

In their words

I had an abstract vision of how I wanted the brand to feel like and H&F brought that to life with creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of my goals - making the brand feel authentic, inspiring, fresh, uniquely mine and aligned with my values

Working with Hunter & Florence made me feel so supported. I only needed a small brand kit to get started, but Paula still treated it with so much care and creativity. She captured the feeling I wanted for May Senses in such a simple, beautiful way and gave me the confidence to show up more professionally online. It feels like my brand finally reflects who I am.

Filia Garden is such a personal project for me, and I wanted the branding to feel natural, welcoming, and timeless. Paula understood right away what I needed to get started, and delivered everything so quickly, without it ever feeling overwhelming or complicated. That gave me the motivation and excitement to finally launch the concept. It already makes Filia Garden feel more real and alive.
