How we work
No mystery.
Just method.
A nine-week arc from first call to launch, with one rule: nothing ships that we would not put our name on.
Step 01: Discover
Two weeks of interviews, audits and uncomfortable questions. We find the real problem before we design the answer.
Week 1–2
Step 02: Define
Strategy, positioning and a creative brief that everyone on your team can repeat out loud.
Week 3
Step 03: Design
Concepts, then craft. We show three directions, not thirty, and we stand behind every one of them.
Week 4–8
Step 04: Deliver
Files, systems, documentation and a launch plan. Then we stay on retainer while it goes live.
Week 9+

FAQ
Questions,
answered.
Everything worth knowing before we start. Can’t find your answer? Write to us and a creative director will reply within a day.
How long does a typical project take?
A brand identity usually runs eight to twelve weeks from kickoff to handover. Digital products and campaigns are scoped per brief, but most engagements land between two and five months. We agree the timeline before work starts and hold to it.
What does an engagement cost?
Projects start at £40k for identity work and scale with scope, team size and the number of touchpoints. Every proposal is a fixed fee, broken into milestones, so there are no surprises halfway through.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes, and some of our best work has come from them. We look for founders with a clear point of view and the appetite to stand out. If the budget is tight we can phase the work so the essentials ship first.
Who will I actually work with?
The creative director who joins the first call leads the project to the end. Around them sits a small senior team: a designer, a strategist and, where needed, a motion or product specialist. Nothing is handed off.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Absolutely. We regularly embed with internal design and product teams, sharing files, rituals and tooling. We are happy to lead, support or simply set the direction and step back.
