In short

Helms Workshop opened in Austin in 2010 and works from South Lamar with a staff of designers, copywriters and brand managers. Its specialty is the consumer brand that gets picked up off a shelf or out of a shipping box, so packaging carries as much weight here as the logo. That focus on physical goods is what puts it at #6 on our Austin list.

Austin Beerworks was one of its first clients, and the relationship produced the cans that helped make the brewery's name, a later rename of its Peacemaker beer to an Anytime Ale, and a 99-pack. Tecovas got a refined identity plus a packaging and unboxing system for boots made by hand in León, Mexico. For Everlywell, moving at-home lab tests from online-only into retail stores, it rebuilt packaging architecture across more than 30 products.

Food, drink, apparel and hospitality brands, mostly in Texas, that need naming, identity, packaging, copy and merchandise from one team are the obvious match; Howler Bros, Blackberry Mountain and The Historic Pearl sit on the same list. A SaaS company needing a product interface, or anyone with a complex web application to build, would be buying a skill set Helms does not offer.
