Glo Creative Co. was founded in 2022 by Simone Jacob and Kelly Ghom in Charleston, SC. Since our founding, we've grown from a two-person studio into a full creative team and won a Branding + Brand Identity award along the way. We believe the strongest brands are built with consistency, intention, and emotional connection. That belief shapes every brand system we build, from strategy and identity to digital experiences and content production.
ABOUT THE STUDIO
We work with early-stage founders and emerging brands in aesthetic spaces.
OUR CREATIVE PROCESS
03. Launch Ready
A brand guide sitting in your Google Drive isn't a finished project. We make sure you leave knowing exactly how to use what we built across every platform, touchpoint, and moment that matters.
02. One-Concept
We don't present three options and ask you to choose. We do the thinking, make the call, and bring you one direction we believe in completely. It keeps our process focused and puts the expertise where it belongs — within a strategic foundation.
01. Strategy-First
Before we open a single design file, we spend time understanding your business, your audience, and what you're trying to build. Every creative decision we make flows from that foundation. It's why our brands hold up, and why our clients don't end up rebuilding in three years.
COMMUNITY
We are working to share our resources, perspective, and process as an ongoing practice — from brand strategy and creative decision-making to the real moments inside a project that reshape how we think about building a business. Every month, we publish a flagship issue alongside strategy deep dives, notes from inside active projects, and client stories that show what's possible when a brand is built with intention.
We’re building a space for founders, growing brands, and fellow creatives. This is where the resources, perspective, and community that once lived behind a studio engagement are accessible to anyone ready to build something worth noticing.
