New work // Branding a people's alternative.

Lystr is here to shake up the property game. A brand for the homeowners who’ve had enough of paying for the privilege of being patronised, it’s built for the people who believe they can sell smarter, without the middlemen, the markup, or the mayhem. The objective was to build a brand that felt like it gets them. A brand that sides with the people tired of inflated egos and hidden fees.

The launch campaign was a mockumentary-style video series that introduced audiences to a lineup of overconfident, overstretched, and out-of-touch agents, each one an exaggerated reflection of the industry’s worst clichés. Shot in cinéma vérité style reminiscent of The Office and Utopia, each vignette plays out like a slow-motion car crash of ego and incompetence.

Too often, identity gets reduced to a set of parts: a colour palette, a font system, a logo lockup. But identity isn’t your style guide ... not really. Those are tools. What matters is how you use them. That’s where creative direction lives: in brand expression, tone, vibe, and energy. Identity is the personality and soul of the brand.

Take Supreme and Uniqlo. Same raw materials: red, white, a nod to minimalism. But they couldn’t be further apart. Supreme flirts with minimalism, then hits you with a maximalist punch. Uniqlo is restrained, consistent, functional. On the surface, their style guides might look alike but they’re drawing from completely different cultural codes, with completely different brand intentions.

We often meet companies sitting in a form of brand purgatory. The business has matured, maybe the product’s sharper, the team’s more experienced, the ambition’s grown bolder; but the identity still feels like an artifact from an earlier stage. A little of what they used to be, a little of what they hope to become,and a whole lot of guessing in between. The branding might be costing opportunity, reputation or pricing power.

But it’s not always about a disconnect between the brand and the business. Sometimes, it’s about vitality. The brand is just … dull. Brands lose energy when they aren’t nurtured, when they’re left to sit in a kind of strategic stasis. And vitality — the thing that makes a brand feel culturally awake — needs to be maintained. It doesn’t need constant reinvention every year, but it does need thoughtful stewardship. Neglect it, and it starts to wilt.

Release day for dear fried of the Mude team and loved working on the branding and creative for his debut single ‘Self Defence’.

is one of Australia’s most respected songwriters — crafting hits for Guy Sebastian and working chart-toppers across Korea and Japan — Ned built his career behind the scenes, a comfortable distance from the spotlight. Now, backed by 3Keys Records and armed with a collection of unreleased songs, he’s stepping forward, finally placing himself at the centre of his own story.

One of the brand’s quiet signatures is the wordmark itself, the ‘Houston’ line beneath his first name is set in his mum’s handwriting. It’s her maiden name, and a subtle tribute to the person who gave it to him.

We deliberately centred Ned’s visual storytelling around his hometown of Canberra. While his career has seen him constantly on the move — writing in studios across Stockholm, Nashville, Korea, and beyond — this release felt distinctly personal and needed to be anchored to his origins.
