Our Approach
Look like a billion bucks.
It’s not enough to look like a brand. You have to think like a unicorn. 🦄
01.
Brand Strategy
It’s not enough for your startup to have product-market fit. You need to stand out as new category leaders. Through our principle of Product-Marketing Fit, we help you create a brand that not only satisfies a demand but invents a desire.
02.
Brand Identity
When building a brand, your startup has to go beyond just creating a customer. It needs to create a new culture. Through our principle of Disruptive By Design, we help your startup build a brand that is as innovative and inspirational as your products.
03.
Brand Experience
Your startup doesn’t need another website. It requires a new way to engage your customers more compellingly. By applying our Brand Experience (BX) principle, we help build a journey for your startup that informs and inspires.
Startup Experience
Our stable of startups.

Testimonials
Fearless founders.
Because our value proposition is so radically different, we needed to find a way to meaningfully communicate the Superlayer vision. It needed to be powerful enough to generate interest while clearly reflecting the values of our distinct offering of founding, funding, and following through to build premium Web3 consumer projects.
Mahesh Vellanki
Co-Founder, Superlayer
Team Sightbox understood our needs from the start. The team accommodated our requests, guided us through the stages, helped with copy and creative, were super flexible, and responded quickly. Instead of just finding a good vendor, we found a great partner.
