Whether you’re launching a new venture, outgrowing your original story, or preparing for a massive scale-up, our project commissioning model provides a focused, deep-dive intervention. We enter your business with a clear mandate: to build the structural brand integrity required to win the next phase of your journey. **Brand on subscription** For startups, the price tag of a world-class brand is often a barrier to the very credibility they need to succeed. Our Brand on Subscription flips the model. We build, launch, and manage your brand for a flat monthly fee over a 24 or 36 month term. You get a Tier-1 brand system and an experienced creative team in your corner from day one, without the heavy capital outlay. At the end of the term, we transfer ownership of the brand to you and switch into a project billing engagement. **Consulting fees** Built for our operators who need sharper thinking at the moments that matter. When decisions carry risk, visibility or long-term consequence, we step in to provide clarity, challenge and direction. We work directly with founders, executives and boards to pressure-test positioning, refine narrative, guide portfolio decisions and resolve brand questions before they become expensive problems. This is senior, hands-on thinking. Short engagements with high leverage. From pre-investment due diligence and growth planning to brand architecture, go-to-market strategy and governance, our role is to bring structure and judgement to complex situations. Clear thinking, plainly delivered, with commercial outcomes front of mind. **Venture studio** Maker Street Labs is our most committed alignment model. We move past the traditional fee-for-service relationship to become a dedicated stakeholder in your success. By trading our intellect and capability for equity, we remove the capital friction of building a Tier-1 brand while ensuring our incentives are permanently tied to your cap table. Our team sits inside your organisation to provide board-level brand governance and strategic oversight at the most critical stages in business. Straight answers about working with a branding agency in Brisbane. #### Questions **What does a branding agency in Brisbane do?** Maker Street Studios is a branding agency in Newstead, Brisbane. We work through brand strategy, naming, identity, design and launch for startups, scaleups and investors. Engagements typically run four to twelve weeks, with a senior team from day one. **Where is Maker Street Studios based?** Our studio is at 22 Ross Street, Newstead, Brisbane QLD 4006. Maker Street Studios was established in 2013 and is led by Creative Director Casey Midgley. **Do you only work with Brisbane businesses?** No. We work with founders and scaleups across Australia and globally from our Brisbane studio, as well as businesses here in Brisbane. **What's the difference between a branding agency and a design agency?** A design agency usually leads with visual output, like a logo or a website. A branding agency starts with strategy: positioning, naming and messaging. Then it builds the identity system that expresses it. That’s how we work. **How do I get in touch?** Call 07 3556 5329, email [studio@mkrst.co](mailto:studio@mkrst.co), or [book a strategy call](https://mkrst.co/contact/).

[Zolari Studios Interior spaces for how you live, work and play.](https://mkrst.co/work/zolari-studios/) [Electric Island Australia's Sweatiest Festival.](https://mkrst.co/work/electric-island/) [Witzer Construction, Technology A safer way to trade](https://mkrst.co/work/witzer/) We operate at the two most volatile inflection points in a business’s lifecycle: The start and the scale. Both arrive fast in a city growing like Brisbane. For Brisbane startups the foundation is the most important piece of the puzzle. It’s the framework for every conversation, pitch, and hire you will ever make. At Maker Street, we build brands with the structural and cultural integrity to survive the real world from day one. For scale-ups, the challenge shifts. Growth creates friction, and we see it across Queensland’s fastest-moving sectors: energy, property, tech and professional services. A gap forms between the powerhouse your company has become and the outdated story it’s still telling. That gap is called Brand Debt and it erodes momentum and stalls decision-making. ![Casey Meyrick MKRST](https://mkrst.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Casey_Meyrick_MKRST_2024.png) ![Maker Street Studios branding studio in Newstead, Brisbane](https://mkrst.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG_1136-scaled.jpg) ![Casey MKRST onsite](https://mkrst.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Casey_MKRST_onsite.png) ![Maker Street Studios branding studio in Newstead, Brisbane](https://mkrst.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot-2026-03-01-at-4.46.43-pm.png) ![Maker Street Studios branding studio in Newstead, Brisbane](https://mkrst.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG_8825-scaled.jpg) #### Creative agency.
