Utah Business

Utah Business Magazine is the leading voice for entrepreneurs in the state. To compete in the print marketplace, they wanted to upgrade their image with unique and creative photo shoots that pushed the boundaries of their brand and helped them to stand out. This is a collection of the various covers and article layouts we’ve produced for Utah Business since 2018.

Utah Business is an established magazine in the state as the primary source for industry news with an emphasis on entrepreneurship. As often happens with companies, their internal creative became stagnant without outside perspective and expertise. Looking to “up their game”, Ori Media was hired to work with their new Editor In Chief, Elle Griffin, on exploring new concepts that were louder and more daring than their past issues. Our work with them included photo, video, and layout print design.
