Instrument

Premium digital design and experience agency within the Stagwell network, recognized for high-craft work with major tech brands especially Google

Instrument is a Portland, Oregon-based independent digital design and experience agency founded in 2000. The agency specializes in brand experience, digital product design, campaign creative, and interactive storytelling, with a particularly strong reputation for its long-standing partnership with Google — producing work across Google's product launches, brand campaigns, and digital experiences. Instrument has built a distinct identity at the intersection of design craft and technology, earning recognition for visually sophisticated and technically ambitious work. The agency joined the Stagwell network through the 2021 merger of MDC Partners and Stagwell Group, making it a subsidiary of Stagwell Inc. (NASDAQ: STGW). Within the broader AdTech and marketing services ecosystem, Instrument occupies a premium creative and experience design niche, differentiating itself from pure-play advertising agencies through its deep technical execution capabilities alongside strategic and creative services. Instrument serves a roster of major technology, consumer, and media brands, with Google remaining its most prominent client relationship. Its work spans brand identity, digital campaigns, product UX/UI, motion design, and emerging platform experiences. As part of Stagwell, Instrument benefits from access to a broader network of data, media, and technology capabilities while maintaining its creative independence and Portland-based culture.
