What our Branding Agency believes

Brand design is about knowing what your business stands for and giving it a face that people actually remember. Most clients come to us when their story’s messy or outdated. The logo doesn’t match the product anymore. The messaging’s been twisted by too many campaigns. We love that challenge, from strategy to visual identity, we line up what you say, show you our creativity, so it finally feels like one brand again.

We work with founders, scale-ups, and marketing teams who need their brand to perform creatively. Whether that means a full rebrand, a new system that scales, or bringing consistency back after growth, we build the frameworks that make creative teams faster and customer experiences sharper. Everything happens in-house between our London and Surrey teams, tight collaboration with people who understand how design and business link when it’s done right.

Let’s Talk

WHAT STRATEGIC BRANDING DELIVERS

Direction

A brand sets the course for how a business should behave. It gives the team a framework for making decisions with parameters that keep everything pointed the same way. The value is in consistency. When everyone’s aligned, execution gets faster and sharper.

Clarity

Strong brands remove hesitation. They give people a common language, so design, marketing, and product teams stop interpreting and start building. It’s clarity that scales.

Resilience

Markets evolve, tastes change, products pivot, teams get replaced . A strategic brand holds its shape through all of it. It adapts at the edges without losing the centre. That’s what strategy really delivers: a structure that keeps the business coherent as it grows.

Why choose our brand development agency?

NATIONAL EXTENSION COLLEGE

A brand realigned for modern learning

The National Extension College wanted a brand that appealed to how people learn today, online, flexible, no barriers. We took it apart and rebuilt it from the ground up. Cleaner structure, plain language, stronger visuals. What they’ve got now feels modern, open, and confident.

Brand Development FAQs

Questions we are asked before we are hired?

How do you start a branding project?

We always start by mapping how your brand behaves now and how it wants to behave. Tone, design systems, internal comms, the customer flow. We look at your data and real touch-points before creating any visuals. Then we start prototyping ideas in Figma with the goal’s to find a structure that scales. Strategy first, design second. Always.

What makes your branding agency different?

We build transformative brands the way engineers build systems, modular, testable, built to flex. Everything’s designed to work across digital and print, user interfaces to signage. but we go further, design libraries, motion specs, tone frameworks that plug straight into your marketing stack.

How do you define a visual identity?

The logo, typography, grid, and motion rules are just the surface. The real work sits underneath, contrast ratios, accessibility, type scales that behave across breakpoints. We stress-test everything in product UIs and campaign layouts before sign-off.

How long does a branding project take?

It depends on scope, but a full new identity usually runs six to twelve weeks end to end. Discovery, design, rollout. We prototype early, test in real context, and keep feedback fast. Most of the time goes on systemising, building design libraries, tone rules, templates. The polish comes last. Deadlines matter, but we never trade structure for speed.

How do you make sure the brand lasts?

We build it like we would build software, not a once off campaign. That means defining rules, typography grids, design tokens, component libraries, tone frameworks. Everything links back to strategy so new teams can evolve it without breaking what works. We stress-test across devices, channels, formats.

Can you work with our internal team?

Always. Most of our projects are hybrids, part agency, part embedded partner. We slot into your design, marketing, or product teams to build from the inside. Shared Figma files, open Slack channels, live feedback loops. It’s faster and cleaner that way. Your team keeps ownership, and we leave behind a system that’s simple to run once we’re out.

How do you test if a brand works?

We test it on various screens and devices, Mock it up in print, stationary, billboards, posters anything thats relevant to your business. We run prototypes through accessibility checks, compress logos to favicon size, print test runs for colour accuracy.

What do we actually get at the end?

A suite of brand documentation, logos in every format, typography rules, grid specs, motion and tone guides. Templates for social, ads, decks, print. Source files, not screenshots. All organised in a shared folder your team controls. We hand over something you can build on and maintain.

How do you approach tone of voice?

We map language patterns across your business, we look at your website, emails, and internal comms, then build a voice that fits your culture. Clear syntax rules, word banks, writing examples. It’s practical, not poetic. Once documented, your team can write confidently without every line being reviewed.

Can you rebrand without changing everything?

Yes, and often that’s the most cost effective way. Sometimes the logo’s fine but the eco-system around it isn’t. We keep what works and rebuild what doesn’t, colour, typography, tone, behaviour. A partial rebrand can save time and budget while giving the business a new identity that still feels familiar to customers.

How do you know if branding works?

You should be able to see it in your teams behaviour first, they start using it without being told or guided. Sales presentations all start to look consistent and customer communcation have the same tone. This is when we expect the sales numbers to follow as you should achieve better engagement, stronger leads and faster conversion times,

What happens after launch?

Launch is when the real work starts, we train your teams and help them setup templates and examples responses to key questions or emails. We stay close to support your rollout, checking for consistency while being open to creating or amending assets as we learn more about your business. Over time, the brand should become self-sustaining and you wont need us.

Incredibly intelligent and imaginative professionals, their grasp of what we wanted to achieve was extraordinary from the first call and through every stage of the detailed process thereafter.
