Most brands dont lack ideas.
They lack accuracy.
Everyone talks about culture.
Very few truly move within it.
Too often, culture is treated as something to analyse.
Instead of something you live, feel, and practice.
And people can tell the difference immediately.
At SUBSTANCE, we dont observe culture from the outside.
We move through it. We work with brands, but also with places,
communities, movements, and scenes.
We dont design brands only to be understood.
We design brands to be lived and felt.
