Office space

Founded in 2009, we are a multidisciplinary, independent creative agency built on the simple idea that brands deserve clarity before they deserve attention.

Over the years, that approach has shaped work across graphics and identity, strategy and positioning, products and packaging, websites and digital experiences, advertising and communication, sound and motion. Different mediums, same pursuit of finding the signal in the noise.

We’re not in the business of one-time brilliance. We’re in the practice of long partnerships. Most of our clients return not because they must, but because the work keeps working. Relationships here don’t fade after launch; they grow into new briefs, new categories, new chapters. We like our madness methodical, and our craft deliberate.

You could call us the round pegs who build the holes.

First the why, then the feeling, then the form.

PURPOSE

We map the checklist a brand must do, the choices it clarifies, the promises it can keep…

Purpose is the reason a brand deserves space in someone’s life. We begin by listening, to founders who remember the first spark and to customers who live with the problem every day. We map the checklist a brand must do, the choices it clarifies, the promises it can keep without strain. Out of that listening we shape a role that the business can defend, and the team can echo. It becomes a short narrative that fits in a paragraph and a decision filter that fits on a page. 

Meetings move faster because everyone knows what the brand will uphold, what it will change, and what it will leave alone. Paul Rand called design the “silent ambassador” of a brand. Silence speaks clearly when the purpose is strong. 

HUMAN

The result is work that feels like good hospitality at scale…

Human is where meaning turns into memory. We design for behaviour, attention, mood, and recall. Our work delves into how people arrive, decide, and return, then removes friction in the moments that matter. Tone is tuned so it sounds like a person, not a panel. Interfaces learn good manners. Labels speak plainly. A pause in a film earns the reveal. Service scripts carry the same empathy into retail, support, and operations. Accessibility is treated as craft, not compliance, because clarity that includes more people is simply better design. 

The result is work that feels like good hospitality at scale. In a world where technology often outruns empathy, we insist on a human-centred approach. 

CREATIVE

Creativity lives between relevance and reinvention, where purpose speaks and connection becomes experience...

When brands stop responding to culture, they fade from it. When they resist change, they become invisible. Creativity lives between relevance and reinvention, where purpose speaks and connection becomes experience. Fuelled by curiosity and grounded in craft, every idea eventually finds its way into storytelling. 

In evolutionary terms, we’re wired for stories; it has always been how humans make sense of the world. A design, a film frame, even a box of oats becomes memorable when it tells one. That’s what creativity really is, giving stories a visual form that feels tangible. It’s about seeing what others overlook, recognising the familiar in a way that feels renewed, and shaping it with method. In that balance between curiosity, empathy, and clarity, Creative becomes our way of staying responsive to change without ever losing touch with purpose or people.

It is our operating pulse, the governance that keeps quality steady...

+ is the working link between the three. It is a small word that does a large job. Inside the studio it looks like strategy and design in the same room, writers next to editors, and partners across product and marketing sharing one calendar. Outside the studio it looks like brands that make sense in the boardroom and feel right on the shelf. Wally Olins described brands as organised ideas and experiences. The plus is that organisation. It is our operating pulse, the governance that keeps quality steady, the enablement that gives teams clean libraries and templates, the training that makes guidelines usable, and the measurement that tracks distinctiveness, recall, adoption, and the behaviours that lead to revenue. When the plus is healthy, the brand speaks with one voice in many accents. 

Our culture mirrors the work. Curiosity comes before certainty. Writing is clear. Feedback is direct and kind. Meetings are short and work sessions deep. Credit is shared. Craft is taught in the open. Space is used as a tool so ideas can breathe and teams can think. The studio is serious about the work and light about everything else.

What clients take with them is simple and valuable. A point of view that speeds decisions. A system that scales across mediums without losing character. Tools a team can run without friction. Work that feels modern today and sensible tomorrow. Clarity, empathy, and craft remain our most reliable guides.
