Oates Design began as an advertising design firm in 1987, with a mission to develop and enhance the client’s corporate image— we strive to discover, in a reasonable amount of time, and for a reasonable price, the concept and execution that best promotes and/or serves this image. Our clients range from mom and pop shops to manufacturers, Fortune 500 corporations, distributors, logistics and service companies, many of which are household names (see ABOUT).

Our fortés: corporate identity (branding), signage, and the design and production of all types of print promotion such as direct mail, annual reports, print ads, posters, announcements and packaging. The list doesn’t end there. Oates Design has the capability to design any image our client needs to project.

 

Having experienced so many different business models in our 22 years, Oates Design saw opportunity in product concept, design and development, and began to call on manufacturing and venture firms to share unprecedented product ideas. (See greatest hit to date at PRODUCT Design). We are interested in partnering to develop and license (and sometimes promote) products conceived here.
