Read by Ilse and Junia, both studios. Every enquiry gets an answer inside two working days, including the ones we say no to.

Two rooms

  • Berlin

    Hof 2, Zundelstraße 1410997 BerlinGermany

    Mon—Thu 09:00—18:00 CET

  • New York

    Floor 3, 312 Kellner StreetBrooklyn, NY 11222United States

    Mon—Thu 09:00—18:00 ET

Both rooms are working studios, not showrooms — come by, but tell us first so somebody is there.

Send the brief

Six fields.
No forms after this one.

This opens your own mail app with the answers filled in — nothing is stored here and nothing is sent anywhere else. Prefer to write it yourself? hello@voltastudio.co works just as well.

What the business does, what is going wrong, and what would have to be true in a year for this to have been worth it. Three sentences is plenty.

What happens next

  1. 01

    Two days

    Ilse or Junia reads it and replies. If it is not for us we say so in that reply, with who we would send you to instead.

  2. 02

    One call

    Forty-five minutes, no deck. We ask the awkward questions early — budget, decision-makers, and what has already been tried.

  3. 03

    A written scope

    Phases, dates, people and a fixed fee. You have it before anyone signs anything, and it is what we are held to afterwards.

Asked every week

Do you work with early-stage companies?
Yes, but rarely on a full identity. The positioning sprint exists for exactly this — three weeks, one written position, and no logo until there is something for it to mean.
Can you start next week?
Almost never. We run two projects at a time and the queue is usually four to eight weeks. If the date is immovable, say so in the first line and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.
Will we own the work?
Fully, on final payment — files, fonts licensed in your name, and the working sources. No retained rights, no ongoing licence, no hostage-taking.
Do you pitch for free?
No. We will show you five relevant cases and talk about your problem for an hour. Speculative creative is a tax on the clients who did hire us, and we would rather not charge it.
