Projects
- Secret 7"Grounds For Divorce In 2014 Christopher Doyle & Co. were invited to submit a design for Secret 7".

- GoodcallGoodcall is an international sales and marketing start-up with offices in Sydney and San Francisco. Christopher Doyle & Co. were engaged to name and brand the company prior to it’s launch. ‘Goodcall’ armed the team with a brand name that references both the desired positive outcomes of phone service sales and the decision their partners make in choosing to work with the team.

- Natasha CantwellRenowned New Zealand based photographer Natasha Cantwell is blessed with two things: an innate ability to capture the beautifully strange details of everyday life, as well as a surname more interesting than most. In anticipation for her relocation to New York we developed a verbally led identity for Natasha that showcased both these blessings, making light of her limited, yet wonderful talents.
