Our Ethos

For us the story begins at the sighting of an opportunity to challenge the norm. And at this point, we bring specialised knowledge and fresh thinking to the fore so a premium product and venue can be realised with originality.

We love what we do and are drawn to like minded people; new world thinkers with old school values that are in pursuit of absolute quality above all. Together we’re redefining what premium and luxury means to the world today, and we like to think we’re shaping its future to benefit both people and the planet. We’re scaling it, making it more relevant, and broadening its appeal to people with an insatiable thirst for discovery.

What started as twin brother design partnership has grown into a passionate squad of thinkers, creatives and producers—and extends to a greater network of industry specialists. One that has taken over a decade to cultivate.

The future is bright and we welcome anyone to join us for the ride.

Matthew and Terry Squadrito, Founders

We live for the good things in life; Sipping a well made whisky or savouring that perfectly balanced espresso – and apply that same appreciation and care to the brands we build.

Over the last 14 years we've crossed paths with the best makers and shakers across food, beverage, hospitality and wellness. Brand innovation is our life blood and the role we play is more than a creative one.

After 14 years in the game, we’ve become quite good at transforming brands so they connect with tomorrow’s consumers. These days our role is a lot more hands on. We’re revolutionising products and venues from idea through to commercialisation.

So you won’t be surprised we’re dropping the ‘INK’. Because transforming brands that outperform in the market takes a SQUAD of specialised consultants, creatives and producers.

We are SQUAD.
