Q3: For the Love of Creating
Why We Launched Our First Merch Drop
At The Bit Agency, we have a little tradition: scheduling meetings at completely unreasonable hours when most of the world is asleep, and our creative brains clock in. During these impromptu night owl rendezvous, we’ll build out full-blown agendas, only to toss them aside halfway through and spiral into manic concepting sessions.
Oddly enough, that's when our best work happens.
One of those beautifully unhinged sessions sparked a convo about the creative plight. You know the one... Create, burn out, question everything, recover, repeat.
Somewhere between the spiral and the comeback is where we had an epiphany. We realized that as much as we live and breathe graphic design and creative strategy for our clients, we need to make space for design that’s just for us. Design that brings us joy, refuels our brains, and keeps the creative spark from burning out.
So we created that outlet.
Introducing Q3
Q3 is our designer-focused merch line. It’s part apparel collection, part creative release, and 100% us. Every piece is inspired by the ups, downs, and caffeine-fueled chaos of working in (and owning!) a creative agency. This isn’t just about slapping our logo on a hoodie. It’s about expressing what it feels like to create on purpose and stay inspired, even when things get messy.
Why “Q3”?
Once a year, we hit pause on the client work and make something just for the love of making. No briefs, no revisions, no client feedback (bless). Just raw ideas, a little design therapy, and what it means to be in the business of creating. Then, we release those designs every year in the third quarter.
Yep. Limited runs, once a year. Grab ‘em while they’re hot, wear ‘em out, come back next year.
Our First Drop
Our first drop is called Creative Department: Party of Two. It is a wearable celebration of two full years of The Bit. Two crazy fun years of growing our agency from the ground up; just us two creatives and our two favorite ways to caffeinate (bonus points if you know who’s hot and who’s iced).
You already know we’re fully committed to the Bit, so we’ll keep doing this as long as the ideas keep flowing. If it resonates with even one designer, strategist, creative director, or keyboard warrior who has ever felt the pressure to stay inspired 24/7, then it’s already worth it.

With love (and way too many lattes),
The Bit Ladies
