SOME CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BUILT.
OURS JUST HAPPENED.

---

Listen carefully, think strategically, and deliver creative that resonates.

Katy and Jim met while working at the same retail and point-of-purchase agency in New York City’s Flatiron district — back when the century was still young. What they discovered early on was a shared instinct: that the most effective creative lives at the intersection of imagery and language, and that solving a client’s problem well means understanding their business first.

That philosophy became the foundation of Craneco. Studio.

Between them, Katy and Jim bring decades of experience working across a remarkably wide range of clients — from startups finding their footing to Fortune 500 companies refining their reach, from transit authorities, to academic and financial institutions, to agencies of every size and shape. That breadth has made them resourceful, adaptable, and fluent in the challenges that businesses face at every stage of growth.

What hasn’t changed, regardless of client or industry, is their process: listen carefully, think strategically, and deliver creative that resonates. It’s an approach that turns first projects into long partnerships. Some of their client relationships span more than twenty years — which, in this industry, says everything.
