When the regular old thing simply just won’t do, do something new.

Creating something really special & brand spanking new requires not only a cracking creative idea, but the technical chops to pull it off. Finding an innovative way of communicating to an audience is about engaging in a story & making an impact. In an increasingly crowded marketplace making your message cut through the noise & hit home requires more & more creativity & guts.

Our art direction work has led us to direct photoshoots to embody the values of a brand, to create campaigns with a clearly recognisable visual style, to co-ordinate a message when content is released over multiple platforms. If you want to create something special with that professional edge, that sense of a conscious & calculated campaign, or a creative smack around the face, give us a call.

Doodle Films

Creatively brand the filming company & create a totally unique, engaging site that encompasses the positive mentality of the business & showcases their services in an entertaining & enjoyable way. Using traditional hand drawn elements & animating in a digital environment we created a whole town, complete with characters & interactions to make something really unique – a combination of analogue & digital to produce an engaging, unusual site you just want to play with.

M&C Saatchi

M&C Saatchi required a site to showcase their awesome catalogue of work in as innovative & industry-leading way as the work itself. Embodying the company brand principal of ‘Brutal Simplicity of Thought’ into the core design concept, we created custom hero slides that intertwined project images within the M&C logo, highlighting the bespoke nature of the service; no-one produces work quite like M&C Saatchi.

More than just branding

Art Direction encompasses more than just branding. It’s about taking your branding and using it to create a message. A narrative. A story that can be heard from every corner of your campaign. No page left unturned. We want to be able to leave a clear message on the minds of the audience, and the lasting visual that pairs with that message just so happens to be your branding. It’s got to be slick. And slick we can do.

We have worked on some pretty cool campaigns for some pretty cool brands. Art direction is actually one of our favourite type of projects, so have a chat with us and let’s see where we can go.
