(Profile)

Parasol is a creative consultancy specializing in branding, design and intelligence. We build brand identities, develop online destinations, produce editorial content and compile bespoke intelligence reports for international clients who want to better understand and leverage their place in the world and engage with evermore discerning consumers.

Parasol was established in 2008 by Ramiro Oblitas and Saul Taylor. After spending 15 years building global brands and working with the best creative talent in the world, we made a decision; we only want to work with clients who have the same values as us – uncompromising quality, attention to detail and determination – no matter what their size. In fact, we prefer working with small-scale, big-hearted hopefuls like ourselves.

(Our collaborators)

Our endeavours have given us unrivalled connections with designers, writers, photographers, editors, illustrators, filmmakers, architects, artists, philosophers, policy-makers, urbanists, economists and entrepreneurs who we gather together under our parasol to inspire collaborations on projects with our clients.

So, whether you are a start-up who simply needs a compact brand identity, a local producer who wants to see more of yourself on shelves overseas, a hotel that could do with some editorial guidance or a city with some image issues; we will sit with you, listen to your story and help you tell it with more imagination, confidence and substance. And don’t worry, even if you’re big and bulky and just in need of a little workout, we’d love to hear from you.
