+ The Studio

Two brothers.One obsession:Making good businesses look impossible to ignore.

A desk mid-project: two monitors of work in progress, a laptop, a lamp still on.

+ Why We Started

Too many genuinely good businesses don't look like genuinely good businesses online.

The company might be great. The work might be great. The people might be great. But none of that matters if the first impression doesn't communicate it.

So we built Kwic Shake to fix that.

We're not interested in creating marketing that simply checks a box. We want someone to land on your site and immediately understand:

“These people know what they're doing.”

We want your customers to trust you faster.

We want your business to feel bigger.

We want your digital presence to finally match the vision you have for the company.

That's the goal.

Make them remember you.

I don't want another agency. I want someone who actually gets it.
Something we hear a lot

+ What You're Actually Getting

You won't get lost here.

  • You won't be handed off to a salesperson.
  • You won't become ticket #1847.
  • You won't need a meeting to schedule a meeting.
  • You'll talk to the people actually doing the work.

Less agency.More partnership.

+ Who's Behind It

The Team

+ Creative Director

JonahJarmus

Jonah — portrait, 4:5

Jonah brings the operational side of the business to the creative side. His background is in project management, business operations, leadership, and getting complicated things moving in the same direction. He's the person making sure the big idea actually becomes something real.

  1. Operations is the home base.

    Built a background in project management and running the overall operations of companies.

  2. Youngest of three brothers.

    Learned early how to hold a position in a room full of strong opinions.

  3. Started at the sink.

    Humble beginnings as a dishwasher, which is where most people find out what real work ethic looks like.

  4. Indiana Tech graduate.

    Degree in Business Management.

  5. Captained a lacrosse team.

    Student athlete who led from the front.

  6. Served on the Indiana Tech Lacrosse Leadership Council.

    Chosen to shape the program, not just play in it.

  7. Dog owner.

    Generally the calmest voice on any call.

  8. Drove a 2015 Jeep Patriot that fell apart one part at a time.

    Handles adversity extremely well. Nothing a client project throws at him has ever quite matched a Tuesday morning in that Jeep.

In other words

He makes the machine work.

+ Lead Digital Marketer

AidanJarmus

Aidan — portrait, 4:5

Aidan has spent roughly a decade building websites and working on digital experiences. His focus sits where strategy and creativity overlap — figuring out what a business needs to say, how it should look, and how to turn attention into action. He also has a background in entrepreneurship and a passion for creative work outside of client projects.

  1. Ten years of website design work.

    A decade of building sites that actually do their job.

  2. Oldest of three brothers.

    Been setting the pace since the beginning.

  3. Started by mowing lawns and knocking on doors.

    Same job as today, really. Find the people who need something, show them you will do it right, then do it right.

  4. Went through the entrepreneurship program at Indiana Tech.

    Learned how to build a business, not just a service.

  5. Produces EDM as a passion project.

    Music is where the creative side gets to run without a client brief.

  6. Believes mental health matters.

    Being happy and being yourself is what lets you spread it to everyone around you.

  7. Sailed the Florida Keys as a Sea Scout.

    Learned to read conditions and adjust, which turns out to be most of marketing.

  8. Once fixed the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron with a six iron and a flathead screwdriver.

    Outside the box thinking, documented. If your marketing problem has an obvious solution, it probably will not be the one he uses.

In other words

He makes people care.

Different strengths.Same standard.

One thinks about the operation.

One thinks about the experience.

Both think about the customer.

And because we're the ones building Kwic Shake, we're invested in getting it right. No giant agency hierarchy. No disappearing account manager. No three-week wait for a simple change. Just two brothers who care deeply about the businesses we get to work with.

Make them remember you.

Curious what we'd build for you?
