We create persuasive visual concepts.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, we provide clients around the world with design & art direction services that evoke attention and show purpose.

Approach

We believe that in today’s diverse media system, design must be reactive. It needs to respond to the stimulus of market demands, evoke attention and be compelling.
This is precisely what drives Longton.

We offer experience behind every job and approach work attentively. Intensive research allows us to be reactive, and challenging our designs keeps the work fresh and inspiring. By intentionally remaining small, our efforts on each project are larger. Our designers are in direct contact with clients, from start to finish. For us it ensures the message never gets lost in the design process, and for clients, it means the work is aligned with business objectives. When required, our studioʼs creative rigor combines input from our extensive creative network to ensure the right fit for each project.
