About STUDIOetc

STUDIOetc designs, builds, and manages innovative, environmentally responsible tradeshow exhibits and events, merchandising and retail, and print and communications. STUDIOetc is a national full-service, dream-it, design-it, do-it-and-then-some organization that delivers the highest levels of creativity, results, and affordability alongside progressive leadership and sustainable business practices.

We believe that individual leadership working within business industries will encourage the groundswell of change our world needs to be a better place. B Corporation provides a platform of measurement for this commitment.

STUDIOetc leads with an environmental sensitivity that assures marketing and merchandising products are made in a way that decreases the use of natural resources. Working with clients in our community and across the country, our designers and fabrication teams provide extensive experience in building with the newest in technologies, materials, and methods.

The Change We Seek®

STUDIOetc embraces the sustainability model of business, which includes a balance of concerns, prioritizing people and planet, alongside profit. In this way, STUDIOetc is ushering in The Creative Economy of our times and joining the growing community of businesses who are formulating a new path for business.

• STUDIOetc uses eco-ethical construction materials and educates clients on renewable materials, energy use, "cradle to cradle" design, and waste reduction. STUDIOetc's campus is a model green space, which we share with the community and other industries, hosting events that provide education and discussion about green practices.

• STUDIOetc is proud to support the effort to measure, reduce, and offset our CO2 emissions. Our Honda Element corporate vehicle, along with several of our employees' vehicles, have been carbon neutralized. As a service to our clients and our planet we offer the ability to carbon neutralize your trade show booth, display and even your travel to and from shows.

• Our electrical power now comes exclusively from wind, solar, and recovered methane landfill gas energy. Based on STUDIOetc's annual electric usage, this creates an environmental equivalent of planting 671 trees, or not driving 678,420 miles in a automobile, or permanently removing 58 cars off the road.

• In addition to being green STUDIOetc believes in giving back to the community through donations and through education. STUDIOetc actively participates in donating time, money, and materials to multiple charities including the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, local homeless shelters, and a local organization called Good Works which helps people in Chester County, PA maintain their homes so that they are safe and habitable. In addition to donations, STUDIOetc invites high school and college students interested in the design world to tour the design campus, ask questions, and be immersed in the daily process of the studio.
