We were keen to work with a local company who not only understood our market but who were just down the road if we needed them. Chris was appointed as our account manager and I can honestly say he was amazing, as was George who led the creative. They were full of ideas to push the business forward and always had the kettle on whenever I was visiting. Thank you to you both for a fantastic job and I’m looking forward to working with you in the future.

A plea for personality
We’ve all got very good at the process of branding, but there’s rumblings of a backlash. It seems that well conceived and rigorously applied brand strategy might, just possibly, be squashing the personality out of things. The word ‘authenticity’ has been bandied about to such a degree that it’s become meaningless. Authenticity, if unearthed without...
