About Us
Rival is a strategic brand and product studio for companies passionate about building the future — across tech, culture and business. We are a remote-first team with density in Edinburgh and Montreal.
We help teams get clearer on what they stand for, build an identity people remember, and create interfaces that make the technology feel as good as the idea behind it.
We work most often where credibility is hard-won — technical, regulated, and trust-dependent categories where the product and brand have to earn belief before the sales conversation starts.
Leading the team
We bring hands-on experience, from scaling our own companies to working with Fortune 500s.
Parker Curry
Founder, Product & Design
Parker is an exited founder and product strategist who has spent his career building brands and products at the intersection of technology and culture. After his last startup was acquired by a Tiger Global-backed scaleup, he joined and led new product development.
Tamara Belair
Founder, Brand & Strategy
Tamara is a brand strategist and founder of The Brandsider, a media and research platform decoding the world’s most magnetic brands. Before that she led complex brand transformations for Fortune 500s at Lippincott — including Nokia’s global rebrand.
We’re always looking for exceptional people.
Rival is a small, senior studio. We bring in trusted collaborators across product, brand, and digital — people who care as much about the thinking as the finish.
