A solo-powered creative agency for technology companies, AI labs, and venture capital.
How it works
Subscribe
Join the membership. Get immediate access to your Slack channel and Linear board.
Request
Drop requests via Slack or Linear. Positioning. Website copy. Launch campaigns. Naming. Press strategy. All of it.
Receive
Get your work back inside two business days, on average. Review, request revisions, move to the next thing.
The Process
Discover
Positioning audit, market mapping, competitive analysis. We figure out where you actually stand before we propose where you should go.
Define
Brand strategy, narrative architecture, messaging frameworks. The thinking that makes everything downstream hold up.
Create
Copy, messaging, campaign assets, content. Execution that matches the strategy. Shipped in weeks, not quarters.
Deliver
Systems over one-offs. Everything we build gets stronger with use. Messaging frameworks, content libraries, brand infrastructure.
Capabilities
Eight Pillars
Strategy
If nobody understands what you do or why it matters, nothing else works. We run strategy workshops, define your target audience, map your competition, and build the positioning that makes your company legible.
Deliverables
Media / PR
We build press strategies, work journalist relationships, and get your story placed in the right rooms.
Deliverables
Naming + Voice
Your name is the first thing people remember. Your voice is how they recognize you everywhere else. We build both from the ground up.
Deliverables
Messaging
Words that make complex technology feel inevitable. We write the messaging frameworks, taglines, and pitch language your company thinks in.
Deliverables
GTM
Go-to-market systems that start with positioning and work outward to channels, campaigns, and measurement. Strategy wired to execution.
Deliverables
Brand Marketing
Campaigns and brand systems that get stronger the longer they run.
Deliverables
Growth Marketing
Paid media strategy, conversion optimization, and copy that actually moves numbers.
Deliverables
Content
Editorial, social, and thought leadership. Written where your audience already is.

JA Westenberg
Founder / Creative Director
Since 2020, Studio Self has built brands for technology companies across venture capital, deep tech, enterprise SaaS, and fintech.
That work has produced millions of words across hundreds of publications, with features in Wired, TIME, The Australian Financial Review, The Next Web, and The New York Times.
Studio Self exists because technology companies and AI labs need the same level of strategic and creative work as companies ten times their size, without the overhead, junior handoffs, or process theatre.

FAQ
Most requests are completed within two business days. Larger projects (full messaging frameworks, GTM strategies, brand narratives) are broken into stages, with each stage delivered in that same window.
After subscribing, you get access to a dedicated Slack channel and your Linear board. We run a short intake call, you drop your first request, and we’re moving.
JA Westenberg. Every request. There’s no team behind a curtain. One person does the work and talks to you about it.
No. Add as many requests to your board as you want. They’re worked through one at a time.
Billing cycles are based on a 30-day period. If you use 15 days and pause, you have 15 days remaining whenever you unpause.
Bigger projects (full GTM strategies, brand narratives, launch campaigns) are split into milestones. Each milestone is treated as its own deliverable so you can review and redirect as we go.
Drop them in Slack or add them to your Linear board. Attach a brief, any references, and whatever context helps. Loom walkthroughs work too.
Revisions are unlimited. We keep going until you’re happy with it.
Design, development, video production, and motion graphics. We handle strategy, brand, messaging, content, PR, GTM, and growth. Everything on that side is fair game.
Subscribe, get your request done, then pause or cancel. The membership works for single needs and ongoing partnerships both.
Absolutely. The monthly plan has no minimum commitment. We also offer 6-month and 12-month prepaid plans at 10% and 20% off.
