Standing out in a crowded marketplace
We’ve looked after the MSA Safety brand for years now – producing various materials and exhibition graphics for shows all over the world. Using all our experience, we were tasked with ensuring MSA’s new safety equipment made a huge impact at one of Germany’s most prestigious trade shows.
Launching the new brand to thousands of employees at once
Thames Water is the largest water utility in the UK, with thousands of employees spread across four regional offices and 970 water or sewage works. Our role was to quickly rollout the new corporate brand in every available space so everyone saw it at the same time.
Creating a contemporary look for a brand with plenty of history
The Heritage Food Company started life in 1979 and so did its brand. We were asked to breathe new life into the look and feel of the company, while retaining that connection to its past. The results can be seen on everything from its stationery to delivery vans.
Getting a crucial message out during a busy festive season
As an approved supplier to the popular Taste of London food exhibition, we were asked to create a stand for its nominated charity, Action Against Hunger. With limited time, space and budget, we created an exhibition stand that drew in the crowds.

Branding & Graphic Design
Graphic design is all around you. It’s how you communicate your brand values and key messages. From advertising to packaging, marcomms to corporate documents & stationery, good graphic design is essential for maintaining brand presence. We can produce the brand assets that will get you noticed in a competitive market.
Digital Design
The boundaries between our digital and physical worlds are blurring. Customers and employees now expect a digital brand presence as much as a physical one. We can work with you to take your physical brand online – whether that’s a responsive website, ecommerce store or single-use app.
“Chris was terrific to work with. He was able to take the creative brief we gave him, intuit what we were looking for, and translate that into a stunning design for our stand at the UK MarTech Expo. He’s fast, professional, and very easy to work with. I’d highly recommend him!”
