Athlon

In 2011, Ranzie Anthony, a creative leader with over a decade of experience in the design world, co-founded Athlon, a global brand and digital product studio. Having started his first design business back in 1998, Anthony saw an opportunity to create a new kind of agency—one built for what he calls 'changemakers.' The firm's mission was to partner with both established market leaders and ambitious startups to design and build brands, products, and experiences. Athlon's business model is centered on combining brand strategy with digital product design to improve how people interact with technology and services. This approach attracted a diverse client roster, ranging from giants like Amazon and Unilever to innovative startups. Instead of seeking a singular, major event like an IPO or acquisition, Athlon's journey has been one of steady, global expansion. The company grew its team and established a worldwide presence with studios in London, North America, and Europe. This international footprint allows the agency to work with a diverse set of clients, helping them launch new products, create complex digital platforms, and build brands from the ground up.
