Founded on two guiding principles

Our working method ensures an efficient and impactful outcome, whatever your creative project.

When founded in 2002 by two designers, the agency adopted their two guiding principles:
1. Ensure the designer remains at the core of the process, in order to simplify the lines of communication.
2. Allow the client to have direct and frequent access to the creative team, encouraging genuine collaboration that results in a meaningful working relationship.

This working method provides the perfect platform from which to produce highly creative and commercially effective work, without the need for account handlers or project managers. Work that our clients and our creatives can be equally proud of.

Our People

Mark Ross

Managing & Creative Director

A keen 'twitcher' for 45 years, an avid listener of music for 40 years, an enthusiastic scribbler and doodler for 35 years, jabbed and parried badly for 25 years. 8 years in and still working on my first novel – a piece of fiction based on a lucid dream! Which just goes to prove inspiration can come from anywhere.

Dalia Jaffar

Marketing and PR Director

A flavour loving foodie educated by Lebanese and West African foods. Brummie born but narrowly escaped the accent. Marketeer and lecturer, singer and mother to one sassy chihuahua. My mantra; feel the fear and do it anyway – except for anything related to heights, then be afraid… be very afraid. The latest challenge; a Masters in Nutrition. Being a student is less fun than I remembered.

Nick Plant

Senior Designer

My top five songs of all time changes on a daily basis but always contains Venus in Furs by The Velvet Underground. I read restaurant menus and decide what I’d eat despite having no immediate plans to visit the establishment. I’ve been told I own too many coats but 13 clearly isn’t too many. Also, an enthusiastically amateurish cyclist on target to cycle 3000km this year.

A list of services alone serves little purpose

So here’s a few words not on what we do, but on how we do it.

Everything we do starts with the brand. Initially, it may take the form of a workshop or simply listening hard to the brand story – it’s whatever it takes to ensure the brand vision, mission, positioning and strategy are in place. Once we’ve gained a comprehensive understanding of the brand, we’re happy to provide the necessary services to take your brand wherever you want it to go.

Recognition

Our team of talented creatives have picked up in excess of 60 national and international design awards, proving that our creative work, works.
