We recently connected with Armen David and have shared our conversation below.

Armen, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

Thank you for the question. STARMEN is a brand development agency with over a decade of experience, dedicated to transforming companies into extraordinary brands. Our mission goes beyond creating logos or taglines; we’re here to design brand experiences that drive innovation, accelerate growth, and make a real impact.

The story behind our mission is personal to me. After years of watching brands struggle to connect with their audiences in a meaningful way, I saw an opportunity to bridge that gap by helping companies connect with their purpose and communicate it authentically. We focus on building brands that not only stand out visually but resonate deeply with people. Every project we take on is about more than just aesthetics – it’s about helping businesses tell their story in a way that builds trust and creates lasting value.

For me, this mission matters because branding has the power to shape perceptions, build communities, and ultimately drive meaningful change. We want our clients to see their brands as more than just a business asset; they’re a platform to make an impact. That’s why we’re committed to creating brand experiences that go beyond the ordinary, blending strategy and creativity to bring out the extraordinary in every company we work with.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Thank you for the chance to share a bit about myself and STARMEN. I founded STARMEN over a decade ago with a vision to turn companies into extraordinary brands. My journey into brand development began from a blend of passion for creativity and a desire to help businesses grow meaningfully. I started in this industry because I believe that great branding is more than a logo or a tagline – it’s a powerful way to inspire, influence, and impact.

STARMEN is a brand development agency that specializes in transforming companies through brand experiences that drive innovation, accelerate growth, and create meaningful impact. Our services cover everything from brand strategy and identity design to digital marketing. We’re proud to partner with clients across industries to build brands that don’t just look great but resonate on a deeper level with their audiences.

What sets STARMEN apart is our commitment to understanding each client’s unique story and translating that into a brand experience that feels authentic and compelling. We’re proud of the impact we’ve made, from helping startups establish a memorable identity to partnering with established companies looking to reimagine their brand and reach new audiences. It’s especially rewarding to know that our work has won awards, but the true highlight is seeing the long-lasting relationships and value we create for our clients.

For those learning about us for the first time, I want them to know that at STARMEN, we’re dedicated to helping brands not just exist but thrive in meaningful ways. We’re here to turn ideas into powerful brand experiences that inspire connections, tell stories, and ultimately make a difference.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

In the early years of STARMEN, we encountered a major project setback that tested our resilience. We had been brought on to develop a brand campaign for a promising client, and after investing months of strategy work and creative development, the project was abruptly canceled due to the client’s internal shifts. This hit us hard, not just financially but because of the team’s dedication and belief in the project’s potential.

Rather than dwell on the setback, we saw this as a chance to build a stronger foundation for future projects. We refined our processes, tightened up project parameters, and found new ways to manage expectations and maintain flexibility, both for us and for our clients. This experience taught us to embrace adaptability, keep our team motivated through challenges, and treat each setback as an opportunity for growth. That resilience has stayed with us, shaping the way we approach every project and client partnership since.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

A pivotal moment came when I realized that STARMEN needed to evolve to keep pace with the rapid shifts in digital branding. Our clients were looking for more than strategic insights—they needed approaches that would drive measurable growth and adapt to a constantly changing landscape. To deliver that, we needed to rethink both our team and our approach.

This meant making some tough choices. A few key team members who had been with us for years were comfortable with our established methods, but I saw that to stay agile and relevant, we needed fresh perspectives and a culture open to change. Bringing in new talent with innovative ideas and a digital-first mindset transformed how we operated, allowing us to craft strategies that didn’t just look good on paper but actively propelled our clients forward.

That pivot redefined STARMEN’s trajectory. We became a more nimble, forward-thinking team focused on delivering real results, helping clients connect meaningfully with their audiences and achieve sustained growth. It showed me that sometimes evolution requires uncomfortable shifts—but that’s how we stay impactful and keep moving forward.
