Senior Branding Designer

A BIT ABOUT US

We set up in 2012 by three partners covering the roles of strategy MD and client partner and creative.
Our founding ambition was to create more value for our clients by expanding the role for design. We saw an
opportunity for design to look beyond a brand’s image to its reality designing the total experience. We work
across a brand’s entire customer journey to create magic moments where purpose is bought to life in a
meaningful way.

Our team and process is set up to deliver from endtoend strategy and design to full production and physical
application because we believe it’s paramount that the execution lives up to the vision.
