Hacala Studio
Est. 2003

One mind behind all your businesses.

Brand creative direction for founders who keep building.

The more you build, the more brand decisions need to be made.

Some route back to you, but the ones that don't get handled by someone without your standards.

That's when brands start to drift.

What I do

I lead the creative function across all your ventures.

Strategy, design, copy, operations, and AI. I work alongside you, run the creative directly, and bring in the right people when the work needs more hands.

Your standards stay consistent.

Two ways to start

Brand Clarity Diagnosis

A 2- to 3-week engagement. I audit each venture and your portfolio as a whole. You leave with a written audit, a prioritized roadmap, and a clear picture of what working together would address.

Senior Creative Direction

One ongoing creative partner embedded across all your companies. The Diagnosis credits toward this if you continue.

I also take on occasional project work if it's interesting and clearly-defined.

About

Robert Hacala

Robert HacalaSenior Creative Director

Been at this since 2003. Twenty-three years across project work, embedded creative leadership with serial entrepreneurs, and operations at a publicly listed holding company (Onfolio, Nasdaq: ONFO).

I've watched companies fragment as they scale. Founders struggle to keep their brand standards from slipping across multiple ventures.

It doesn't have to work that way.

Here's where it all comes together.
