Eastern Standard is an award-winning digital and brand experience consultancy headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in 2014 through the combination of esteemed branding agency Tabula and award-winning web developer Context via a longstanding and successful partnership on various high-profile accounts. Now unified under one roof in midtown Philadelphia, Eastern Standard works with a diverse group of major corporations, nonprofit organizations and prestigious universities, employing high-level business strategy, exceptional design and advanced technology across a multidisciplinary environment. The agency's founding partners reflect expertise in each of three core areas — strategy, design and technology — informing every part of the firm's work and setting it apart from competitors offering only design or only development services. Eastern Standard operates as a true end-to-end digital partner rather than just a design shop or development vendor, guiding clients through brand strategy, audience research, UX design, CMS development and post-launch optimization with a single integrated team. The agency holds recognized partnerships in both Drupal and WordPress ecosystems, including an Advanced Partner designation with WP Engine and Bronze Partner status with Acquia.
