Ampleforth a compass for life
Well known and highly respected, Ampleforth College wanted to develop their brand by clearly communicating what having an Ampleforth Education truly means. The brand identity and strapline that we created promoted the belief from the school that pupils leave having gained a moral compass, that steers them through life, whatever it may bring. Our solution was creating the line ‘A compass for life’ and that was supported by a compass graphic made from the the more traditional cross associated with the Catholic school. A full campaign consisting of brochures, advertising and promotional material was built around this powerful and compelling idea.

EveryCloud Solutions are an innovative IT company that offer cloud based Windows software to businesses.
It’s how IT should be
From the outset we had a dual task of educating about cloud technology as well as promoting EveryCloud as the authority on it. We created an identity that was simple and friendly while familiar using the Microsoft style through colour and graphic design. The strapline ‘It’s how IT should be’ refers to the simplicity, low running cost and hassle free nature of cloud based computing services – in-fact, the complete opposite of localised solutions!

Natural History are a high end online interiors business selling quality homewares and unique items collected on the travels of the business owner. The creative direction for the brand identity was inspired by those travels, a thirst for discovering products with a difference, and the owner’s particular interest in Victorian entomology. From these foundations we created the visual flavour that combined the idea of a old fashioned printing and Victorian style with traditional graphic design. The website was designed to feel like a Darwinian diary, with notes and samples adding texture and appeal to the backgrounds. The brand positioning line ‘The Origin of Style’ further defined the brand as the discoverers of all the latest trends and fashions.

accounting today for all our tomorrows
Sustainability IQ is a piece of software that measures the environmental impact a business has through logging everything from paper usage to energy efficency, it thereby allows users to create and implement an effective CSR policy. Having conceived the original name, strap line and identity, our focus was on creating a brand that sat comfortably in the software market but also visualised its ‘green’ credentials. We created several strap lines to accompany the brand with the core message being ‘Accounting today for all out tomorrows’ which was a powerful headline, summing up the importance of sustainabilty in business. “The Agency really stood out during the pitch process not only for their strategic and creative work, but also for their down to earth approach. I can’t recommend working with The Agency highly enough”.

Servicom approached us as a ‘two way radio specialist’ struggling to stand out in the industry. We repositioned them by creating a sharper, more powerful identity with a supporting line that would elevate them from the competition: ‘The Power to communicate’. The work we did re-energised the brand both internally and externally by ensuring that people involved realised the importance of the work Servicom conducts and how they make a difference to peoples lives. The supporting marketing and literature featured organisations where communications are a matter of life and death, that Servicom support such as the fire service, The Red Cross and military with the line ‘Thank you Servicom’. The UK Business Development Manager had this to say: “The Agency have really helped us to reposition how our brand is perceived both internally and externally. This revitalisation has elevated our reputation with customers and suppliers and certainly played a major part in us winning new work, with our turnover doubling over three years. Keep up the great work!”

Borderlines Film Festival is steadily growing its reputation as one of the best film festivals in the UK. It brings an incredibly diverse range of films from across the globe to audiences in the English/Welsh Marches showing in an eclectic mix of venues from theatres to village halls. The festival has now been firmly established on the cultural calendar both in the area and way beyond. The existing brand however, lacked character and we worked on a complete brand overhaul to reflect the quality of the festival it has become, and most importantly where it wants to be in the future.
