We are a global venture studio.
We believe that our legacy will be work that drives genuine value and inspires massive change. As a team and with our partners, we hold each other accountable to create beautiful work that is progressive, bold, and purposeful. And together, we can meaningfully address the issues and interests of our time.
Josephmark was established in 2004, when the term ‘venture studio’ simply meant that we had a lot of explaining to do. Soon enough – and with a lot of effort, skill, and love – Josephmark and the venture studio model grew in kind. Now, we span two continents and 50+ team members, with decades of experience creating, designing, growing, and connecting world-class brands and businesses.
Who is JM?
Collectively, we are designers, developers, strategists, writers, shapers, and technologists.
While our disciplines and expertise are as diverse as our backgrounds, we share a common vision of designing a better future – for ourselves, for our partners, for the world, for you.
