Welcome Stranger brings home 8 awards at Pele Awards 2026

What an inspiring night at the 2026 @peleawards!

Our boutique studio of three brought home:

• Best of Show: Design

• Five Pele Gold Awards

• Three Pele Silver Awards

From the very beginning, we asked ourselves: Can Welcome Stranger stay small, be selective with our clients, and still create truly exceptional work for companies we genuinely believe in?

To be recognized by our peers alongside agencies 10x our size only reinforces the feeling that we’re building something special.

Every project is a collaboration, and great work only happens because of great clients.

Congratulations and mahalo to the incredible partners who trusted us with their vision.
