A senior team

As a hands-on senior team, you’d expect us to have expertise across brand positioning, brand identity, strategy, storytelling, concepts, design as well as flawless digital capabilities. 

That alone, however, doesn’t set us apart. 

What does is our network and the incredible reach and commercial understanding we can draw on via our high-level advisors and specialist partners. A better business rationale makes it easier for us to step back and look at the bigger picture, challenge and champion new but relevant thinking, ideas, introductions and pragmatic ways to catapult your business forward – and make your life easier.

With time and budgets under increasing pressure, having a team you can trust to navigate you to results, and won’t nickel-and-dime you, is a must. Plus, what other agency offers a retainer where unused time rolls over?

Who can work with you to create and align brand strategy to business objectives, lighten the load, open up opportunities and handle whatever need across discovery, digital, website and traditional.

Who can work seamlessly as part of your team to ensure great strategy gets executed in the most practical way. And who knows the people that can do all the things we can’t, to ensure you are always looked after. We’ve got your back.

Jules James • Founder & Branding Director

As founder-owner, I care deeply about getting the strategy right and delivering results. My approach is deep-dive due diligence – interviewing senior teams, employees, clients, stakeholders and influencers; understanding the wider context then sifting mass detail to find the precious insight. Shaping that insight into a brand and marketing program that will differentiate you from competitors, attract the clients and employees you want and deliver a better customer experience. Specialities: Business-led Brand Strategy; Positioning; Brand Architecture; Naming; Brand Values; Stakeholder Communications; Messaging. Sector Experience: Financial Services; Care & Retirement Living; Property – Landmark & Heritage; Technology; Film & Entertainment; Catering & Hospitality.
