Today we’d like to introduce you to Connor Robertson.
Hi Connor, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Robertson & Co. started with a passion for people and creativity and a desire to bring those two worlds together. From the beginning relationships have been at the heart of our studio. We’ve always wanted to get to know the people behind the work and understand what gives purpose to what they do.
That approach has shaped Robertson & Co. into a creative studio where authentic relationships guide the work. For us the creative process starts with listening and getting to know people. That connection gives the work meaning and helps us create something that feels true to who they are.
As we’ve grown that purpose has stayed with us. We want the work we create together to build a sense of community and give people something they feel connected to.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the biggest challenges has been learning to be patient in a world that moves so fast. Everything we do at Robertson & Co. is centered around people and relationships. Those connections take time to grow and we’ve had to remind ourselves to give them that space.
There’s always pressure to move faster or get to the next thing. It can be difficult to keep relationships at the center when you’re also trying to grow a business. We want the experience of working with us to feel organic and give people time to feel comfortable enough to share who they are.
That patience also applies to learning and perfecting our craft. It keeps us curious and excited about the work but it can also make it hard to feel like something is ever finished or good enough. We’re learning to appreciate where we are while still making space for what we can become.
We’re still finding that balance and a lot of our growth has come from being patient with the process and with ourselves. Through all of it we want the people behind the work to remain our priority.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We are a creative studio built around people and the belief that great storytelling can move people and brands forward. We specialize in design, motion and stills. We partner with our clients to create work that feels purposeful and true to who they are.
Every project starts with listening. Before we begin shaping an idea we want to understand the person behind it and what they’re hoping to share. We’re a small team and stay hands-on throughout the process, which allows the experience to feel personal and collaborative.
I think what sets us apart is how much we value the relationship behind the work. Building trust takes time and we want people to feel comfortable being themselves. That connection shapes what we create together and is something we care about just as much as the finished work.
I’m most proud of the people we’ve connected with and the places this work has allowed us to travel to. Being invited into someone’s world and trusted to help tell their story means a lot. Those experiences continue to shape how we see the world and remind us why we started Robertson & Co. in the first place.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
We never imagined we would be able to make a career(s) out of being creative. To now have the opportunity to partner with people and brands around the world is an honor and something we don’t take for granted. We’re grateful for the people who have trusted us with their stories and allowed us to be a small part of what they’re building. Getting to do work we love while connecting with people along the way means more than I could have imagined.
