Creative services for specialist businesses.

A product can cost more because it lasts longer, fits a difficult application or saves time on site. If those differences are missing from the marketing, customers have little to compare beyond the price. The creative brief needs to make the relevant advantage clear and show what supports it.

A technical buyer may need a diagram and an explanation they can check with a colleague. A homeowner may need to see the standard of the finished installation. That changes what we make and how much detail it needs, and your specialists check every product claim.

One brief, through the whole studio

Writers, designers and the production team work from the same brief, in the same building. That’s how a launch can have a film, an advert and a brochure that all make the same argument.

  1. The brief

    What the work must change, for whom, and the evidence behind the claim. Your specialists check the product facts.

  2. Writers

    Find the argument and the plain words for it, from interviews with the people who know the product.

  3. Designers

    Give it a form that suits where it will be seen: a page, a screen, a stand or a sign.

  4. Film and photography

    Show the product working, the factory behind it and the finished job.

F.H. Brundle film at Lancaster Armoury

Our F.H. Brundle film follows the drawings, materials and handcraft at Lancaster Armoury. The people using the product provide a subject worth exploring: the viewer can see their skill and understand what goes into the finished work.

Close detail, movement and the sequence of making allow the film to explain more than a single product photograph. We use the possibilities of the medium to follow the subject, giving the viewer time to understand what the material and the craft make possible.

The Art of Marketing, in print

The Art of Marketing brings our people, work and industry perspective into a publication a reader can spend time with. The writing and the design need to hold that attention across the pages, with the same care given to the finished object as the subject it contains.

That care applies to client work too. A brochure can make a range easier to compare, while an article gives a technical expert room to explain an important distinction. A campaign can offer a fresh way to understand a familiar category. We choose and develop the form around what it allows the idea to communicate.

Questions about our creative work

If your question isn’t here, call 01934 808132 or email [email protected].

Do we have to use all of your creative services?

No. You can brief a single piece, such as a brochure, a film or a new identity, or bring several crafts together for a launch. We agree the scope with you before any work starts.

Who checks the technical claims?

Your specialists do. We write and design from the information you give us and from interviews with your team. Product performance, compliance and certification claims always go back to you for approval.

Can you work to our existing brand guidelines?

Yes. Most of our creative work is done inside a client’s identity. If the guidelines no longer suit the material you need, we’ll say so and explain what we’d change.

Where is the work made?

At Unit 200 in Weston-super-Mare, where our writers, designers, filmmakers and photographers work alongside the PR, digital and web teams. We film and photograph on location wherever the work is.
