A creative agency for science
Husband-and-wife team Barney and Emilie founded Cobo Creative in 2015 with the idea of designing communications for science, technology and engineering.
Our mission is to make complex ideas simple. With Barney’s design background and Emilie’s knowledge of digital and data, we’re instinctively able to see both sides of a problem. It’s why we’re great at cutting through the complicated to make our clients’ knowledge more accessible to the world.
Over the years, we’ve had opportunities to apply our skills in a range of complex markets, from the pharmaceutical industry to the public sector. Every project has sharpened our approach and shaped who we are.
