At Accent, we unite two worlds: Swiss precision and Bay Area boldness. From Zurich to San Francisco, our team has spent decades shaping brands that stand the test of time, across industries, cultures, and continents. We don’t believe in noise or trend-chasing; we believe in clarity, craft, and lasting impact.
Keeping it personal in the global arena
In an industry where personal touch often gets lost in global pursuits, we maintain a personal connection with our clients. Our small size allows us to intimately understand the unique aspects of your business, providing bespoke solutions.
Founded by Edwin Schmidheiny, who has spent more than 30 years at the forefront of the world’s leading brand agencies, we remain dedicated to the art of creating brands that endure.
