Design enhances every contact point of your business

Design is primarily about thinking. Round the table with you or in the quiet of our studio. When we delve into the fundamentals of your brand and your audience, the rest follows naturally. Here’s what we can do for you.

  • Brand strategy

    We work with you to develop the big picture: what you and your brand stand for, what your customers want, and how the market works. These are the insights from which we chart a course for long-term success together.

  • Brand identity

    There’s something special about the way you do things – the big idea at the heart of your brand. Our job is to capture that idea graphically, and to develop a visual toolkit for consistent and engaging storytelling.

  • Packaging design

    In a crowded retail world you need a stand-out look with maximum shelf-appeal. From one-offs to full product ranges with hierarchies and sub-brands, we improve visibility and desirability. We get your products moving faster.

  • Print design

    Print has so much potential for impact and inventiveness. From flyers to mailers to press campaigns to brochures running to several hundred pages, we’ll create the literature that drives your message home.

  • Digital design

    Just about everything digital for more clicks and engagement. We create the look and the content for websites, digital ads, social media campaigns and animations.

  • Art direction

    Bring your brand to life with beautiful photography and telling illustrations. For a consistent look, we can source or manage it all: photographers, stylists, illustrators – in the studio or on location.

 

How we get more for your business

Every design team has a process. Essentially they’re all the same, even those that apply the gloss of a ™ symbol. But we like to think that our approach is more collaborative and more empathetic. We work with you to create design that fits like a glove.

  • Understanding

    Nothing beats spending time with you and your team to find out what you believe in, how you go about business, and what you want to achieve. We also research your market – how it operates, what it needs, and how you can make more of the opportunities out there.

  • Planning

    It’s time to build on what we’ve learned. We refine your brand or product proposition, talk to stakeholders, and look afresh at the market and the competition in the context of what we now know. We gather the data and insights we need to generate a clear creative brief.

  • Concepts

    All the preparatory work comes together as we develop creative concepts that bring the big idea to life. Each one is supported by a rationale rooted in the research and insights from our earlier work, together with examples of how each concept works in the real world.

  • Development

    Next we refine your preferred concept in line with your feedback and, if relevant, feedback from the market. This is the opportunity to really craft things and resolve the details through discussion and collaboration. Design that feels right to you has to be a shared process.

  • Finalisation

    Crafting and refinement is complete and we’ve arrived at something that’s absolutely right. So now comes the practical bit: developing artwork and guidelines whilst liaising with printers or developers to achieve the quality you expect. The world is about to experience your brand afresh.
