How we work
Driven by your objectives, we strive to achieve great results through a combination of thorough understanding, strategic thinking and compelling design solutions. We offer this through our team of planners, designers and account managers, who work closely together to provide a seamless interface with the client.
We have the capacity and flexibility to work in a way that matches your organisation’s culture. We like to work closely with our clients, becoming an extension of their team, with an in-depth understanding of their business. Whilst our account managers are always the main point of contact, direct contact between client and design teams is positively encouraged.
We are proud of our reputation for excellent client service. As an owner-managed business, you can be sure that senior management is directly involved in every project, overseeing relationships with the client and ensuring quality control and customer satisfaction.
Our approach results in long lasting relationships. We like to think this is because our clients value our contribution in delivering effective design that helps brands to grow their business.

Who we work with
For over 50 years, we’ve worked across multiple industry sectors in the UK and worldwide, with clients ranging from established multinationals looking for a brand refresh to start-ups needing a launch identity or campaign.
We’ve helped BUPA to become Spire Healthcare plc, and Heathrow Express to transform to a more premium transport brand. We created an immersive, digital training app for telecoms giant Vodafone and designed a microsite for global insurance brand Liberty Specialty Markets to communicate their CSR programme. We’ve helped launch Dirty Beets veggie burgers in Macy’s New York and have designed exhibition stands and brochures for family watch business, Royal London. And we’ve created new brand identities for children’s charities SOL and Robbie’s Rehab.
The communications challenges for these organisations couldn’t differ more but this is what motivates us – the opportunity to work alongside great clients using our creativity and experience to help their brands to grow their business.
