Highlighted Projects
Leece’s Scents
Project Description
Leece, the owner of Leece’s Scents, approached us to help with the launch of her new business. Of course, we were very happy to help and be part of the journey. We started by creating a modern but simplistic logo to give the brand an identity. Along with branding the business, we designed and printed branded labels and stickers for Leece to use when packaging her orders to give them that personal touch.
After initially managing the social media herself, Leece asked if we would take over the management of her social media pages, and again, we were happy to help! Our goal was and still is to increase followers on all social media pages. Within a couple of weeks, we had a post schedule sorted, with social posts going live daily. Along with regular posts, we designed posts such as offer posts to increase engagement and sales.
Branded Cards
Once we took over the social media pages, Leece saw a huge increase in sales, and with this, she wanted to add to the customers experience by adding branded “Thank you for your order” cards, which we designed and printed.
Social Sales
As we continue to post regular posts to all social media platforms, we are continuing to see huge increases in followers, engagement, and most importantly, sales. Our client is very happy and is looking at even bigger plans for the future.

Pete’s Pizza
Pete’s Pizza was a from the ground job. Even though Pete’s Pizza has been open for a few years we created everything from scratch. Pete asked us to make his business and brand, modern. So that is exactly what we did, new logo, branding, signage and even social media pages.
Slice of Social
After seeing the work we have done previously for other clients. Pete asked us to create his business a social media presence which of course we did! Gaining 750+ likes in the first 2 weeks of the page going live.
Clean & Tidy
Because Pete’s Pizza is not a sole takeaway pizza, Pete wanted to make the experience of eating inside his restaurant extra special for his customers. So napkins are just one of many branded items we created.

Paws on the Downs
Project Description
Paws on the Downs contacted us about designing and creating them a brand new website to update their old ‘dated’ looking site, to go along with their new logo that we designed. They gave us full control of the web design which allowed us to create a fresh, bright modern looking website. We added several fun and user friendly features to the site, one of them was a “Quote Calculator” which allows the user to select the services they were after and instantly get a price which the client was very happy with as this gave them more time to do what they do best, caring for their animals.
Modern and fun design in mind, when creating the site we aimed to make it very interactive for the user. We achieved this by adding multiple animated buttons and call to actions, as well as having multiple elements appear and change as the user scrolls through. Along with making the site fun to use and browse, we also created it to work responsively so that no matter what device or screen size you used to view the website you would be greeted with a fantastic looking and user friendly webpage.
Logo Design
Paws on the Downs asked us to create a modern looking logo to be used on their documents and social platforms. We decided to combine the outline of a paw and a dogs head with a bright gradient to create the logo.
Before/After Slider
We wanted to show off the amazing work that Paws on the Downs do. We did this by creating a before/after slider which gives a direct comparison of what the dog looked like before and after their pamper as you move the slider.
Client Intro
Paws on the Downs are based in Patcham. Brighton and is run by a lovely lady named Sue. She is very passionate about animals and loves to care for them. Offering many services from a simple walk to a full dog grooming package.

Riverside Childcare
Project Description
Riverside Childcare contacted us about creating some branded clothing for them. They initially wanted a selection of different sized high vis jackets with a big logo on the back as well as a smaller logo on the front left breast, along with a handful of grey t-shirts with the logo just on the front left. After we created these they were very happy and asked us to design and apply some vinyl decals on some items that were at their childcare centre, along with an acrylic sign for outside.
The logo for Riverside Chidcare has a few different colours meaning when it came to cutting and pressing the designs onto the clothing we had to piece the logo together colour by colour and this technique made for a really nice clean finish on the final product. Knowing the high vis jackets were going to be worn by young children we made sure the material adhered perfectly, so that the design would not come off.
Brand Everything
When it comes to having a business, marketing is everything and Riverside Childcare do a great job at using social media to reach people but with branded clothing and signage they will always be marketing themselves, with no extra work.
Activity Books
There is nothing better to keep children engaged than a creative and fun activity book, we designed and created a mockup of the activity book so the team at Riverside Childcare could use them on rainy days.

Purple Pygmies
Project Description
The Purple Pygmy team are in the gaming scene for fun and mainly for casual gaming but after a couple of years of playing online with the same group they decided to give themselves a name and wanted a fun modern logo to go with it. We of course were happy to help with this, after making them a logo that the whole team loved they wanted to show it off with vinyl stickers that they could apply to their cars, guitars and gaming consoles.
After a little while they really wanted to be a team when they played online with each other so the idea of custom clothing was sent to us and we couldn’t wait to get involved with this team again so we happily designed and printed branded hoodies and t-shirts for the team. Following the branded clothing we designed and produced branded Xbox controllers which included their logo for every member of the gaming team.
Social Updates
As they were a casual gaming team, they were not interested on growing a following on social media but they did use certain social networks to talk and share updates about their lives. Which we created custom update posts for them.
Watch and Learn
Being a gaming team meant they were eager to show off their best moments to each other, so they asked us to create a short logo intro they could use. Also asking if we would edit together a compilation of their best clips for the year.
Animations
As the team were sharing their best moments and clips with each other they wanted a logo intro they could put at the beginning of their clips. We created a short, clean and simple logo animation for them.

Boss Baby
Project Description
Hilton are more known as a hotel for business stays more than leisure breaks. They wanted to promote their hotels to be more family friendly and with the objective of increasing the amount of families who stay at Hilton Hotels. So they partnered up with the Dreamworks film “The Boss Baby” this gave them the perfect opportunity to showcase their family friendly side.
We were asked to design and create online and printed content to promote and make families feel more at home at Hilton. We produced all sorts of printed materials such as pull up banners, exclusive screening invites and a selfie stand to fit with the online social media campaign. While working closely with Dreamworks and Hilton we storyboarded and produced cinema ads which were shown countrywide.
Activity Kits
Along with all of the marketing assets, we created a selection of different activity books and games for Hilton to use in their hotels to keep the families entertained during their stay.
We Mean Business
This project and brand partnership smashed its original objective by increasing the amount of families who stayed at Hilton. It was also shortlisted for Best Brand Partnership, 2017 Screen Awards and Best Integrated Marketing campaign, 2017 TTMAs.
Animations
Using the exclusive assets we were given by Dreamworks we edited and created multiple videos for Hilton from cinema ads that were shown across the country, to destination specific social media videos.
