OB2.HOUSE

A small studio
that ships.

OB2 House is a Manchester creative studio. We work with startups, sports and betting businesses on brand and product — from the strategy that decides what a thing is called, to the interface people actually use.

What we do

Brand strategy

Positioning, naming, tone of voice. The argument before the artwork.

Visual identity

Marks, type, colour and the system that keeps them consistent without us in the room.

Product & interface

UX and UI for apps, dashboards and marketplaces. Designed to ship, not to present.

Creative strategy

Paid social and performance creative, informed by CRO experimentation rather than taste.

How we work

01

Scope

A fixed, written scope before anything starts. You know the cost and the deliverables up front.

02

Build

Weekly checkpoints. Work in progress shared early, when it is still cheap to change direction.

03

Hand over

Files, guidelines and a system your team can run without us.

Background

The studio is led by Owen Burrows, a designer with a paid media background — creative strategy, paid social and performance marketing, with hands-on CRO experimentation. Previously in-house at Better Collective, and before that designing brand and product for startups through the WeAreNova co-foundry.

That mix is the point. Most brand studios hand over a logo and leave. Most performance shops optimise creative they had no hand in designing. We do both, which means the identity is built knowing how it will be tested.
