One studio.
The whole stack.

Most brands stitch together a designer, a developer, a marketer and a strategist who never speak. i3 is all of them — under one roof, aimed at one outcome: work that lasts, and sells. Start anywhere on this list; most clients end up using all of it.

01

Brand & Design

Outcome: a brand people remember — and trust.

The foundation i3 was built on. We shape a vision into an identity that’s impossible to forget and ready to sell — across every medium, from a logo to a shelf to a catalog.

02

Web & E-Commerce

Outcome: a store that sells, not just one that looks good.

Websites and online stores built to convert — and we actually run them. i3 is fluent in both Shopify and BigCommerce, and builds the merchandising and conversion details most studios skip.

03

Marketing & Social

Outcome: attention you earn, then convert.

The engine that fills the funnel your brand and store create. We grow organically first — content, social, email — then amplify with paid media that earns its ROAS. Anyone can rent sales; we build growth that compounds.

Fractional CMO

Outcome: a CMO’s judgment, on a fractional basis.

Senior marketing leadership embedded in your business — owning the strategy, the channels, and the number. The same playbook that drove triple-digit growth at two companies, available to yours.

AI Integration

Outcome: faster and smarter — without adding headcount.

We help you put AI to work across your brand and marketing — and we run i3 on it ourselves. From strategy and tooling to hands-on builds, so a lean team ships like one twice its size. Tool-agnostic, and always testing what’s newest.

How to work with i3

Engage however fits the job.

Ongoing design, web and marketing support on monthly hours. For brands that keep moving.

Senior marketing leadership, embedded — strategy, channels and the number, monthly.

Advisory sprint

A short, focused push — positioning, a go-to-market plan, or a rebrand audit. Big clarity, fast.
