We build brands that mean something.

who are we

We started 852 Tangram because we believe good businesses deserve great brands and great brands deserve to be built with intention.

We work with purpose-driven organizations: social enterprises, B Corps, community-rooted businesses, and founders who care about more than the bottom line.

Our team brings together brand strategy, design, website, social media, content, advertising, motion graphics, animations, photography, and video production under one roof, so you get a consistent creative partner, not a revolving door of freelancers.

852 is Hong Kong’s regional code for our hometown.
Tangram is a puzzle made of different pieces that fit together to form something whole.
That’s exactly how we work.

about us

our services

  • Positioning, naming, visual identity, and brand guidelines. We help you figure out what you stand for and make sure everything you put out into the world reflects that.

  • Logos, pitch decks, social graphics, motion graphics, and print. Everything built to feel like you, not a template.

  • Social media content, SEO, website copy, email campaigns, and bilingual content (English + Traditional Chinese). Words that actually connect and bring leads.

  • Event coverage, brand shoots, product photography, and highlight reels. We’ve covered everything with photography and videography from wedding, corporate gala dinner, theatre comedy shows to global CPG brands.

  • More than aesthetics, we devote 30% of our work to positive change. Collaborating with non-profits, we amplify social causes.
