Dixon Baxi is a studio that really inspires us at Changethethought. They are uncompromising in their quest to do the best work possible for their clients and impact the bottom line all while maintaining the integrity of their aesthetic. They have recently updated their site with new and as always inspiring projects.
Here is a quote from a Dixon Baxi client that is proof of the pudding:
“DixonBaxi helped MTV2 find its balls again. They helped us to refine the MTV2 brand positioning, to fuse the channel with attitude and deliver a radical on-air look that was visually striking. And our audience loved it. Our ratings increased immediately and it is without doubt the freshest looking channel in the music section of the EPG.”
