Let’s be Friends
We care about our clients and immerse ourselves in your project. From passionate entrepreneurs to established organisations, we bring creativity, credibility and strategy to your visual identity.
Because of the time and energy we invest into each project, we only work on a handful of brand identity projects each year. We like to get really involved and know our clients intimately – after all, we’re Friends, right?
- Strategy
We always start with strategy because good strategy underpins all that we do. Before you invest in creative services we recommend spending time clarifying, uncovering and creating from a place of purpose.
Connection Call
A one hour strategy session infused with creativity and expert counsel (over the phone/Zoom) to connect and see if we have chemistry over a cuppa. Ask us anything, soak up our wisdom and work on your strategy simultaneously. An energised entry to kick-starting a creative conversation.
Walk with Us
Getting out in nature opens the mind and encourages creativity. Our Walk with Us offering is a nurturing experience that explores the plans for your business. Here we hold space for your hopes and dreams – listening, unlocking and allowing space for your vision to unfold. Coastal or woodland (cake is included, of course!)
A Day with Friends
An intensive full day experience with Friends working on strategy, proposition and in-depth discovery. Energised yet deeply personal and supportive, the day is tailored to you. Whether you want to work on vision boards, naming, brand personality or customer personas, it offers a safe space to explore with a walk to the cove and a delicious lunch, with a side order of creativity. The day is followed up with a beautifully designed PDF to summarise the experience.
Creative Direction
An exclusive opportunity to work one-to-one with Friends over a period of 12 months. We only take on two creative direction clients a year. Kick-starting with a strategy day and then encompassing all elements of creating your brand and your website, this high touch offering ensures your hand is held throughout, providing you with a creative partnership to build and launch your brilliant brand.

We believe beautiful branding is for everybody and our extensive experience positions us perfectly to advise and design a distinctive brand for your business.

Whether a new brand or a rebrand, a start-up or established business, we create compelling brands that have boldness and brilliance – the kind your clients will connect with.

Need a name for your business? We love to name and enjoy immersing ourselves in the story and the strategy – helping you to create a name that is tailor made for your brand.
Print is our passion. Nothing sets you apart like the texture of print. From beautiful brochures to mailers and books, we understand the fonts, paper weights, the imagery and quality that will position your business and build brand loyalty. Print is a highlight of our portfolio.
