Like many great ideas and inventions, Studio2 was born of an unmet need. After 10 years as a marketing manager in the financial services industry, Chris Opsahl was ready for a change. Around that same time, his wife Laura found herself frustrated with the high prices and big egos of the design firms she hired in her own work as a marketing and communications consultant. In 2000 they solved both problems with the launch of O & O Marketing, which later became Studio2.
