Frequence / MadHive · Deep Dive 01 — Brand & Identity

A brand that grew up to stand with the giants.

When I arrived, Frequence looked the part of a startup — Bebas Neue headlines and a loud orange palette. To pitch Nexstar, Hearst, and the biggest media companies in the country, the brand had to mature. I led it through three evolutions and built a full system spanning film, print, web, research, and trade shows.

Brand Films

Setting the tone, on screen

From recruiting to product launches to category vision, the films defined how Frequence showed up — confident, modern, and unmistakably ours.

The Branding Playbook

One system, documented

A 34-page playbook codifying logo usage, color, typography, voice, and application — so the brand stayed consistent across a 40-person creative team and every external touchpoint.

Logo System

A mark that scales

The refined wordmark, badge logomark, and identity guidelines — plus the moments where the brand flexed, like our Pride mark.
