About Us

We’re an award-winning, Coventry-based creative brand agency established in 2000.

We are extremely passionate about Coventry and although we work with clients both nationally and internationally, our heart will always be in the city.

Over the past two decades we have been fortunate enough to work with some fantastic companies in an array of sectors including education, sport, entertainment, hospitality, recruitment and retail, in both the public and private sector.

The majority of our clients have chosen to work with us continually since our first project together with them, some of them have been with us for over 23 years, looking on us as more than just an agency, they consider us as part of their team.

We are very proud to have been involved in some really important projects for the region including helping to bring the London 2012 Olympics to Coventry, and more recently the successful 2021 UK City of Culture bid.

We feel fortunate to live and work in a city that is as diverse as it is innovative and is built on such a rich history, where the more you look, the more you discover. A history that fascinated us as children and still surprises us today.

Our choice of studio location at Electric Wharf was no coincidence, we leapt on the opportunity to call it home for our team over 15 years ago. The mix of old and new, established but fresh thinking, we felt it mirrored us as an agency. Even the small details around the site reflect the same detail we like to build into our designs. The response from visitors to the studio as they discover what a special site it is, filled with character and history.
