Our guiding principles

As a team, we’re committed to thinking and acting in ways that benefit everyone. At our heart, we’re guided by four key principles. 

Place

We focus on brands defined by a sense of place. We have a deep connection to Cornwall and the environment, and aim to enhance the unique characters of places through design.

Connection

We aim to connect people together, with projects that benefit people, communities and the planet. We have a community-focussed ethos that drives every project we undertake.

Detail

We are dedicated to provide focussed and strategic practice in all of our work, ensuring every project is executed with meticulous attention to detail.

Fairness

As an employee-owned company, we embody fairness by ensuring that every team member has a stake in our success, fostering a more sustainable future.

Our process

Your brand’s on a journey and we’re here beside you. From initial immersion to future-focused thinking, we’ve designed a process that helps shape success. 

Immersion

Learning and listening

At the start of any project, we’re on a quest to become part of your world. This means we’ll ask questions, get a feel for who you are, and discover as much as possible about your brief, your goals, and your audiences. 

Strategy

Thinking and planning

Our shared success comes down to shared goals. Having a clear strategy allows us to stay focused, and to work towards what matters most. We’ll spend time considering your brand strategy so that we always have your destination in mind. 

Action

Shaping and feeling

Perhaps we’re building your brand identity, telling your story, or crafting standout communications. Our creative stages are where we take everything we’ve learned and defined, and begin shaping it into something tangible. 

Longevity

Living and breathing

But it doesn’t end when we hand over the final version. Brands truly succeed when they consistently engage and inspire – meaning it’s not just about one project, it’s about how it plays a part in your tomorrow.
