Seaside towns often end up with brands that look alike: a wave, a gull, a lighthouse, a bit of blue. New Romney’s own history is richer than that, from its days as a Cinque Port to the Norman church of St Nicholas, whose doorways now sit below street level, and the steam railway that has become part of the town’s identity. The best local brands find something that’s specifically theirs.
Whether you’re opening a new seasonal business or refreshing one that has served the Marsh for decades, we’ll help you build an identity people remember. We offer:
Our branding projects are built around a series of meetings, in New Romney or at our Maidstone office, with video calls available if they’re easier. We start by understanding your business, your customers and what you want to be known for, then write a short summary of your brand’s position and personality for you to agree. Design routes come next, presented in person with an explanation of the thinking behind each, and we’ll leave the files with you to consider. For seasonal businesses, we plan the work so the new brand is ready and rolled out before your busy period.

Branding in New Romney: frequently asked questions
How do we avoid looking like every other seaside business?
We look for what's genuinely different about you and your place, rather than reaching for waves and gulls by default.
We've been trading for years. Is a rebrand risky?
It doesn't have to be. We keep what customers already recognise and plan a clear, confident rollout.
Can the brand be ready for the summer?
Yes, if we start early enough. We'll plan the timeline backwards from when you need everything in place.
Will we meet in person?
Yes, that's our preference. We'll come to New Romney or host you at our office, with a video call as an option if that suits you better.
What will we receive?
Logo files, colours, fonts, brand guidelines and any templates we agree, all ready for you and your suppliers.
