Choosing between two businesses? Most people don’t flip a coin… they check the reviews, and nothing builds trust faster than testimonials from real customers (unless you’ve figured out how to hand out free Greggs pasties with every sale).

Here’s a free helpful blog on how to gain more reviews, and showcase them properly so they actually win you more business 👉 https://sevencentral.co.uk/helpful-blogs/f/turn-happy-customers-into-your-best-salespeople

First day back at School for the kids and every parent I know is running on caffeine and hope… myself included.

So what better time to share a project we’ve been working on that’s all about giving people space to celebrate, relax and enjoy?

Delighted to partner with Tynedale Cricket Club in Hexham on their brand new venture… The Terrace Function Room

Redesigned and reimagined, it’s a versatile venue perfect for Christenings, Parties and all special occasions, with plenty of indoor space, a huge outdoor terrace for adults to gather, and… best of all… a cricket pitch sized playground for the kids to roam free until the hearts’ content!

We created Branding and Social Content for The Terrace, who are ready to welcome you for your next big event.

🚨 ATTENTION SMALL BUSINESSES 🚨

I’ve had a lot of enquiries from small and startup businesses lately, and everyone seems to be asking the same question…

“How can I make my business stand out without breaking the bank?”

Truth is, you don’t need to spend a fortune to build a solid brand, you just need to know where to focus your attention (and where not to waste your cash).

Obviously you want to do as much as possible and make as much impact as you can, but It can easily get a bit confusing and stressful, so I’ve put together a no-nonsense guide to help you prioritise the stuff that actually makes a difference (without rinsing your budget).

Give it a read and hopefully you can save yourself some hassle 👉

Let’s be honest - branding can feel like a luxury when you're launching a startup or running a small business. You’ve got 101 things demanding your attention (and your budget). But good branding isn't about just splashin...

This weekend we finished a logo for My Therapy Place – The brief was to create a design that encapsulated the incredibly warm and welcoming practice run by Alexandra Newton.
⠀
Alex offers a safe, supportive space for people to talk through life’s messier moments, and she does it with compassion, experience, and a genuinely kind heart (I even found our chats about the logo therapeutic 😂, she’s an absolutely lovely human being).
⠀
The branding needed to feel calm, grounded and trustworthy – like a deep breath in logo form.
⠀
If you’re looking for someone who can help you untangle the tough stuff, Alex is the real deal 🙌🏻

Recently wrapped up this logo for the incredibly talented Mr Iain Anderson – a plastic surgeon in the North East who’s got the hands of a sculptor and the eye of a perfectionist (seriously, this man could straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa).
⠀
Designing for someone this precise was slightly terrifying, but I think we nailed it. Sleek, confident, and clean – just like his results.
⠀
If you’re looking for work that’s a cut above (pun very much intended), Iain’s your guy 👨‍⚕️✨

First Impressions count, and let’s face it, we live in a world overflowing with brands shouting for attention like the seagulls at Tynemouth when there's a whiff of chips in the air, and In today’s saturated market, your...

Great to see our client Think Energy-North East getting coverage in the local news! We helped them with the digital launch of the new service lines and led the PR outreach to gain valuable exposure for the business.

For all your plumbing and heating needs, you know where to go 🔥

Just wrapped up a logo project for Lee Alder 🛻💨

This brief was wide open, so I went full creative mode and gave him 9 totally different logo concepts – all with different styles, colours and vibes.

Turns out he picked concept #9 as his favourite... so good thing I didn’t stop at 8 😅

Really enjoyed working with you Lee – top guy, and this one was a lot of fun to design! Now we move on to the business cards 🙌🏻

🚨 New Website Launch 🚨

We’ve just wrapped up a fresh new site for the fantastic Mattie Thompson over at Sporting Journeys - a top notch local business getting kids moving, learning and having fun.

Mattie, it’s been a pleasure working with you, thanks for trusting me to bring your vision to life! 🙌 www.sportingjourneys.co.uk

Full disclosure: my own son is a Sporting Journeys regular, so I’ve seen firsthand just how brilliant the sessions are… (So yes, I’m technically a client of my client too 😅).

If you’re after a website that works as well as Mattie does with the kids, drop me a message — let’s build something great together. 💻🎨

🔥 NEW LOGO DESIGN 🔥

Really enjoyed designing this logo for Gary,
An experienced builder and joiner within the North East, he decided to set up a new company servicing Northumberland and Tyneside.

He contacted us looking for something bold and contemporary that would be easy to recognise on his vans and workwear.

We designed 6 concepts for him and landed on this absolute gem of a logo, even if we do say so ourselves!

Thanks Gary, and best of luck with the new business 👍🏻

Special shout out to Ben Akhurst for the recommendation, thank you mate, very much appreciated 🤝🏻🍺
