This is a town with a long story. It was a centre of the medieval cloth trade, joined the Cinque Ports confederation as a limb of Rye, and its church tower has watched over the High Street since the fifteenth century. It’s tempting for local brands to borrow that heritage wholesale, but customers remember businesses that have their own personality.
Whether you’re opening a new café, launching a wine or drinks label, or refreshing a family business that has served the town for years, we help you work out who you are and show it clearly. Our branding work includes:
Branding starts with conversation, and we’d rather have it face to face, in Tenterden or at our Maidstone office, with a video call as an option if that suits your day better. We’ll ask about your business, your customers and what you want people to feel when they walk in or pick up your product. From there we write a short summary of your brand’s position and personality for you to agree, then design two or three routes and present each one to you in person. We’ll leave you the files so you can take your time deciding.

Branding in Tenterden: frequently asked questions
Should our brand reflect Tenterden's heritage?
It can, if it suits you, but it doesn't have to. We'll explore how much local character to bring in so your brand still feels like yours.
Can you brand a new wine, food or drinks product?
Yes. We create product brands and packaging, and think about how they'll look on a shelf and online.
We've traded for years. Will a rebrand put off regulars?
Not if it's handled carefully. We keep what customers recognise and plan the change so it feels like a natural step forward.
Will we meet in person?
Yes, we prefer to. We'll come to you in Tenterden or welcome you at our office, and video calls are available if that's easier.
What do we get at the end?
Logo files, colours, fonts, guidelines and any templates we've agreed, all ready to use.
