About us

We were born in London and have grown to become one of the North’s leading brand design consultancies, whilst still maintaining our roots in the South. We have been in the branding business for over four decades and have gained over 130 global brand design awards, through focusing on our clients and helping them build brand success. Our clients stretch from Tongham to Taipei, and from Northampton to New York – several of them have been supporting us for two decades or more. We work in a Victorian library that we have converted into the ideal studio space to help harness our inspirational energies. We encourage commitment and engagement by ensuring our team has a stake in our business and we’ve nurtured a team spirit that’s enabled us to survive and thrive – most of our people have been on board for a decade or more.

We are a multi-discipline consultancy made up of specialist teams that focus on the core areas of brand delivery:
/ Brand strategy and design
/ Marketing communications
/ Digital Media
/ Packaging Design
/ Retail
With over 30 years’ experience designing for some of the world’s most successful organisations and brands, we have built up an unprecedented wealth of market knowledge and insights. In creative terms we can compete with the best in the world. In strategic and marketing terms we are designers with extensive experience in brand management and practical marketing. We also have strategic partners, with additional complementary skills, that give us an incredible resource enabling us to tackle successfully the most complex and challenging briefs.
