MAKING A MARK

Our work, our purpose, is to make a positive impact on the world around us: to help visionary companies bring remarkable innovations to life with creative and effective names and identities.

Catchword recently worked with global petcare leader IDEXX to create the name and visual identity for its groundbreaking pet-owner engagement platform. Vello—whose name combines velocity and hello in a short, natural coining—revolutionizes the way pet owners and vet practices connect. Vello enables pet owners to become fully informed partners in care, which means healthier lives for our four-legged friends.
