FortyTwo Studio

Based in Aberdeen, FortyTwo Studio works across Scotland with a client base concentrated in food and drink, hospitality, architecture, and independent product brands. Its portfolio includes whisky and gin producers, rum labels, restaurants and bars, furniture and craft businesses, architecture practices, and lifestyle brands, indicating a focus on smaller, often heritage or premium-positioned companies rather than large corporates. The studio positions itself as a brand and digital agency built around long-term client relationships rather than one-off projects, with a small team of one to ten people. The agency's work spans brand strategy, identity creation, packaging, and web design, alongside services including SEO, advertising, content marketing, public relations, social media marketing, and UX/UI design. Described service areas cover positioning, naming, tone of voice, and internal brand engagement on the strategy side; brand identity, art direction, packaging, print, and graphic systems on the design side; and web development, ecommerce, and UI/UX design in digital delivery. Project examples show recurring combinations of brand creation, packaging, and web design delivered together, such as full identity and packaging systems for spirits brands, rebrands for architecture and chemical companies, and campaign rollouts for trade associations. Additional listed capabilities include exhibition design, wayfinding, artwork production, social campaigns, copywriting, and animation, suggesting projects are typically handled as combined brand-and-digital engagements rather than single-discipline briefs.
