[ Studio by LINK · creative & growth agency · Chicago ]

We see what you are. And what you could be.

Websites, social media marketing and events for local businesses. We don't hand you the same look as everyone else. We start with who you already are, and find the people who haven't found you yet.

[ 01 — Our perspective ]

Most agencies give every business the same template. We start with yours.

  1. Look closer

    Before we design anything, we study your business as it is: your customers, your space, your street, what people already say about you.

  2. Keep what's yours

    The corner bakery shouldn't look like a startup. We sharpen the identity you already have instead of replacing it with a trend.

  3. Find who's missing

    Every business has audiences it isn't reaching yet. We look for them, and for the platforms and partnerships that get you in front of them.

Good to know

Are these prices fixed?

They're starting prices. After the discovery call you get a written quote for exactly what you need. Complex features and integrations are quoted individually.

Is hosting included with a website?

No. Hosting, domain registration and ongoing maintenance are separate from the website build.

Does my ad budget come out of the monthly fee?

No. Advertising budgets, software subscriptions and other third-party costs are paid separately, so you always see exactly what goes to ads.

Who will I actually work with?

Riya Tulsiani, who runs Studio, handles your discovery call, creative direction, filming and day-to-day contact herself.

[ 05 — Our process ]

How we work

  1. 01

    Discover

    A discovery call, then a close look at your business, your customers and the competition down the street.

  2. 02

    Strategize

    We decide together what to make, who it's for and where it should live, and put it in a written plan and quote.

  3. 03

    Create

    We design, build, film, edit and write, with set revision rounds so nothing drifts.

  4. 04

    Grow

    For ongoing work, we post, track what's working and adjust each month, with a report you can actually read.

Part of LINK Student Network.

Studio by LINK is the creative and growth agency of LINK Student Network LLC, based in Chicago. LINK is a student network; Studio is the part of it that does paid work for real businesses.

Riya Tulsiani founded Studio and runs it herself: every discovery call, the creative direction, the filming and the day-to-day contact. She's also building her own brands, RN Experiences, Tucked and met., so the advice you get comes from someone launching businesses too, not just designing for them.

The work is made by students. That is the point, not the excuse: we're fast, current and fluent in the platforms your customers are already scrolling.
