Applause from our clients

"The team were superb from start to finish in creating the PoP Fund visual identity and designing all the reports and templates. They did a huge amount of work for us (including designing a bespoke font!) for a very reasonable budget. They ended up doing more than we asked them to, and we are hugely grateful. I can’t recommend them highly enough."

Emma Frobisher

Senior Monitoring, Evaluations & Learning Manager, Comic Relief

"Thanks for everything – you’ve both been so lovely to work with. If I need a design agency in the new job, I’ll be knocking on your door"

Tima Moledina

Communications Manager, Healthwatch UK

"We had such a successful shoot. I’m amazed we covered so much in such a tight schedule, not only ticking off our clinical shots, but also capturing our fundraising images – all of which look fantastic. Thanks again for your patience, diligence and for putting up with our many requests, as well as for your understanding and sensitivity around our patients and staff."

David Watson

Brand Manager, Sue Ryder

"My team had an opportunity to use some last minute funding for piece of work which we hadn’t anticipated. When we initially approached you for the work, we hadn’t fully articulated our idea but Laura and the team were incredible in supporting us to really narrow our brief. They really took the time to understand our context, our aims, our resources, to ask all the right questions and help us make decisions and concessions as needed along the way, ultimately producing exactly what we needed, on time and within budget."

Alison McKinley

Head of Social Change & Impact, Comic Relief

"The launch was a great success. The illustrations, report and policy brief were all big hits. Thanks for delivering really high-quality work despite extremely tight schedules!"

Jean Casey

Project Coordinator, International Rescue Committee

"The team were incredibly flexible and helpful in facilitating a relaunch of our supporter newsletter. They helped create a softer and warmer look and feel utilising both new fundraising propositions in addition to new brand identity. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in helping to produce a really high-quality publication which has been well-received both internally and by our audience."

Elizabeth Brown

Individual Giving Manager, Barts Charity

"The team took great care at every stage of the process, ensuring our requirements were met within the timelines we had agreed, whilst remaining flexible, friendly and approachable throughout. I have no hesitation recommending them."

Ippo Panteloudakis

"Working with you on our new mindfulness video was a really great experience. It was a new area of content for us, and it was also the first time we were using our new brand in video form. We felt that the team really understood what direction we wanted to go in from the outset, and their flexibility when it came to testing new ideas was so appreciated. We are so pleased with the final assets and look forward to working on more projects together in the future."

Priya Gandhi
