Alexander Isley Inc. was founded in 1988 and has evolved into a nine-person brand development and communication design firm with offices in Georgetown, CT.
We are experts in brand development and communication design for organizations involved with culture, fashion and retail. We work with companies and institutions to help craft their brand personalities and introduce them to the public. Our teams of designers, writers and strategists work among all disciplines to establish and convey a consistent voice, attitude, and point of view.
Along the way, we have developed a particular focus and expertise in implementing sustainable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices.
While the work our firm undertakes is quite varied, our approach to solving problems is consistent: do the research, ask a lot of prodding questions, establish an appropriate plan of action, and above all, always determine what a design should do before thinking about what it should look like.
We then produce a solution that is direct, appropriate, memorable and seems effortless.
This approach has worked well, as we at Alexander Isley Inc. have earned the trust of our clients while gaining an international reputation for innovative, influential and effective work.
Alexander Isley Inc. has received recognition and numerous awards in the field of corporate identity and marketing communications. Alex and our staff of designers have created effective, award-winning work for a diverse range of clients including Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas, Giorgio Armani, Aéropostale, El Palacio de Hierro, Reebok, Starbucks, Discovery Communications/Animal Planet, Toys “R” Us, Linens N Things, Chevron Texaco, Accenture, Deloitte., PepsiCo, the Museum of the Moving Image, United States Green Building Council and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to name a few.
