Design
Our creativity has the energy to craft real, meaningful connections.
Branding
Unique and instantly recognisable, a strong visual identity forms a powerful touchpoint with your audiences. It’s how you build consistency, show personality, and mark authority.
Your visual identity is often the initial touchpoint with your brand; it’s the all-important first impression, but it also flows through everything you produce. Encompassing your logo, typography, colours, and application, it’s how you infuse your brand with style.
Brand illustrations create an identity with distinctive character. Unique to you, illustration can be the ingredient that brings elements together and captures the imagination of your audiences.
Well-designed, user-friendly guidelines act as the cornerstone of your brand. This is how we clearly set out the standard for visual excellence, creating consistency across your platforms and materials.
Printed, physical and digital communications
Whether it’s producing collateral for your new brand identity or working on a standalone project, we offer creativity by the bucketload – as well as a refreshingly different take on familiar formats.
Navigating your world can be an effortless and enjoyable part of your wider experience. We create well-considered signage and wayfinding solutions, so that every brand interaction sparks a positive reaction.
From brand guidebooks to bespoke journals, tell your story through engaging editorial design. We help brands sail the waters of page planning, content and imagery with a steady hand and a strategic eye.
Translate your stories and messages into attractive, interactive environments. Whether you’re staging an exhibition or attending an event, we’ll think creatively to bring your brand’s narrative to life.
We create pieces with standout appeal, from brand packaging to maps, merchandise and stationery. Backed by decades of experience, we’re experts in the art of print – from initial design concepts to foils, finishes and paper stocks.
The digital realm offers almost endless opportunities to meet your audiences. From advertising campaigns to social media styling, we help make online interactions every bit as meaningful as those taking place offline.
Digital UX and website design
The best website designs take a step inside audiences’ minds. That’s why our user-focused process delves into who your audiences are, what they (and you) need, and how you can get them there.
Your website should pre-empt a user’s needs and guide them smoothly and effortlessly to their goal. Through focused user experience workshops, we’ll dive into who your users are, their objectives, and how you can meet them, so that we can design with these in mind.
With a mobile-first approach, we design websites that fuse useability with style, gently guiding your users to meet their goals.
Art direction
Your visual style and creative vision should flow through everything you produce. We work with brands to art-direct fresh imagery and video content, offering support from initial mood-boarding to final cut.
Brand photography can be the key to powerful storytelling. It immerses, intrigues, and represents who you are. We work with photographers to create a seamless fit between your brand strategy and the images it inspires.
We take a hands-on approach to art direction, working closely with videographers from initial briefing to post-production, ensuring that your final edit finds its place in your wider brand story.
Illustration adds personality, achieves depth, and realises the impossible. We commission and art-direct original illustrations for everything from websites and print to brand identity.
