Defy is a multidisciplinary agency combining equal parts talent, strategy, and cultural insights into creative that drives value for our partners. We’re not interested in incremental change. We’re here to radically improve your next strategy, creative direction, or production so you can blaze past the competition. 

Usually that means crafting something that looks and sounds anything but usual for your industry. Pulling that off requires clients who have the guts to reach outside their comfort zone. We’re certainly not for everybody, but the ones we are for wind up standing out and exceeding all expectations.

    Creative Lead at Macro, A Savills Company

    Macro Company Rebrand
    Project Type: Creative
    Review Date: 22 December, 2021
    Defy did a fantastic job from start to finish assisting Macro in a company rebrand that was announced March of 2020. We were very pleased with their ability to communicate concepts and bring the vision of CEO, Michael Glatt and Macro's new brand to life. Defy is a talented, agile, and engaged agency that pays attention not only to the details needed to be captured for a brief or review session, but also to big picture project perspectives. All contributed to a well-rounded, top notch engagement.
