Metabrand Startup Branding Agency

(Our Story)

A synthesis of big agencies' branding approach and bold digital experiments for startups.

Metabrand's journey began in 2018 as a small, three-person local agency with a strong desire to redefine branding.

We observed how branding was evolving in the digital space while traditional agencies struggled to adapt and relied on outdated frameworks. With extensive experience building major global brands at Landor and Interbrand, along with developing innovative digital products—such as complex websites and apps for brave startups—we decided to merge these two areas of expertise into a unified framework.

Since then, our team has grown by 12 times, and we’ve successfully completed over 100 projects for Tech, Fintech, AI, SaaS, and Startup clients across the USA, UK, Canada, Israel, Australia, Sweden, and Cyprus. In 2024 alone, we delivered 28 branding and website projects for clients from 9 countries.
