About us

We have a story about an elephant that has been with us since we started many moons ago but first of all here's the sales pitch...

With 40yrs experience of brand building, design, advertising, film making and more we're proud to say we are now one of the most awarded agencies in the world and the only UK agency outside of London to have been listed in the UK Creative league table. We love an idea, enjoy our work and take great pride in our craft. And although proud of our creative standing we take equal pleasure in the fact that many of our clients have been with us for more than 5 years several more than 20! which is probably the best indicator of how we look after our clients, how we place great importance on collaboration and attentive service, and, hopefully, that we're quite good fun to work with.

We don't have a typical type of client or project, with our clients ranging from governments to garden designers and the scale of our projects spanning postage stamps to football stadiums. We are equally at home developing strategic brands for global institutions such as AstraZeneca and The British Council as we are creating posters for a local charity football competition.

Our clients include AstraZeneca, BASF, the BBC, British Council, Comic Relief, The Co-operative Bank, Film4, JD Sports, The National Football Museum, Royal Mail, London Zoo, UCL, World Gold Council and a hairdressers in Rochdale.

Enough of the big sell and back to the elephant. This story was overheard by our founder and sums up how we approach our work far more eloquently than we ever could: Once, there was an old Indian wood carver who carved the most beautiful elephants from unpromising blocks of timber. Asked how he did it, he simply replied: “I just cut away the wood that doesn’t look like an elephant.” which in our words means we look hard to discover what it is you need to say, stay focused on a core message and then use creativity to ensure the results get noticed.

If that has piqued your interest we'd love to hear from you.
