Ashford has seen a lot of new business arrive in recent years, from firms moving their base to the town to start-ups taking units on the business parks. Alongside them are long-established local companies whose look was put together years ago and no longer reflects what they do. Both face the same question: what should people think when they see your name? A brand that answers it clearly makes every website visit, sales call and job advert easier.
We help answer that with strategy first and design second, so your identity is built on something solid. Our branding services include:
Branding projects run on a series of focused meetings, at your premises in Ashford or our Maidstone office, or over a video call if that’s easier. We start by interviewing you and, where possible, a few team members or customers, then share a short strategy document for you to comment on. Design routes are presented in person with a clear explanation of each, and you’ll get files to share with partners or directors who couldn’t attend. For businesses with vehicles, sites or uniforms, we plan the rollout carefully so changes happen in a sensible order.

Branding in Ashford: frequently asked questions
We're relocating to Ashford. Can you help with our brand?
Yes. A move is a good moment to review your brand, and we can make sure your identity and website are ready before you open.
How do we rebrand without confusing existing clients?
We identify what clients already recognise, keep what's worth keeping and plan a clear announcement and rollout.
Do you rebrand vehicle fleets?
We design the livery artwork and supply files to your livery supplier, and we can plan a phased rollout across your fleet.
Will we meet face to face?
Yes, we prefer to. We'll come to you in Ashford or host you at our Maidstone office, and a video call is available if that suits you better.
Can you write our messaging as well as design the brand?
Yes. Messaging direction is part of the service, covering what you say about yourselves and how you say it.
