Marlon Tate is an independent award-winning creative agency with offices in Athens, London, Jupiter and Mars. Described as sensitive, considered and essentially poetic, our work focuses on strategic and surrealist narrative-driven branding and advertising for brands and places.
Marlon Tate is an independent award-winning creative agency famous for claiming to have offices in space. Founded in 2020 by āpop starā art director Nikos GeorgĆ³poulos, best-known for his 2019 widely-publicised āTime travel brandingā trilogy, Marlon Tate has been described as sensitive, considered and essentially poetic, producing strategic and surrealist narrative-driven branding and advertising for brands and places.
In 2020, we branded Greeceās first coliving brand, āIliorā, as an imaginary country and in 2021 we launched East Londonās biggest urban regeneration project as a festival of electronic music, managing to attract the attention of a sceptical local community. We have previously created campaigns, websites and music videos for Frieze Art Fair, Dimand SA, Lamda Development, EMI Music and the World Architecture Festival. With a small office in London and the main one in Athens, Marlon Tate is a small yet prolific agency of five people. Recent projects include: the iconic brand narrative and website for the second tallest building in Greece, the Piraeus Tower (Dimand SA); the surrealist brand identity for Dakis Ioannou-owned boutique hotel in Athens; the award-winning marketing campaign for Eastman Village in North London (Barratt Homes); and the variable brand identity for the Hellenic Institute of Architecture.
