Who we are
Turtle Labs builds brands, tools, knowledge and marketplaces for a more intelligent and sustainable future, so people can grow without asking the planet to pay for it.
How this happened
We started as a branding and design firm in 2014, 12 years ago, with a vision to build businesses that share equal responsibility as a human. Since then we have supported businesses big and small with sustainable branding and design solutions across strategy, identity, digital experiences and growth.
Over time, the work showed us a bigger opportunity. People need more than a better brand: they need better ways to learn, grow a career, build a business, use their natural intelligence and choose products that do not trade away the future.
That is why Turtle Labs is growing into four connected ventures. Same responsibility, different front doors: Studio for branding and design, BrandOS for business growth, Natural Intelligence for learning, and US - The Useful Store for a fairer marketplace.
The group, in numbers
Four figures we can show the working for.
What each of these counts
- Brands impacted
- Every brand Turtle Labs has worked on since 2014: strategy, identity, web, film, packaging and growth. Counted once each, whatever the size of the engagement.
- Lives touched
- People inside those businesses and the communities they reach. An estimate, and labelled as one.
- Products endorsed
- Products and services we have assessed and been willing to recommend. Separate from the Useful Store listing standard, which is stricter.
- Brands scored
- A different number, and a BrandOS one: 184 brands have run the free assessment. It measures usage of one product, not the group's work.
What the badge means
Every one of them carries A Turtle Labs company or A Turtle Labs product. That is not decoration. It means the promises on this site apply there too. If one of them breaks them, that is on us.
- Turtle Labs Studio: A Turtle Labs company. Running.
- BrandOS: A Turtle Labs product. Running.
- Natural Intelligence: A Turtle Labs company. Taking shape.
- US - The Useful Store: A Turtle Labs company. Taking shape.
