There’s a right and a wrong way to do just about anything

Brand Design

When a company is branded or rebrands, the effects can be quite dramatic – but only if done properly. We see plenty of companies that spend substantial amounts (or not much at all) on a new logo, a website, a brochure or two  – but a year later the difference in their turnover or profit, is no more than could have been expected. All they have is pretty pictures, what they needed was Brand Design Agency . 

For small and medium sized businesses it is essential to remember that a Brand Design Agency  should give a Return on Investment, and with care and attention this becomes self-perpetuating. 

We say “We Make Small Businesses look bigger and bigger businesses look better” But that’s only scratching the surface. It isn’t magic, it isn’t a black art, it’s about having a concept, brand philosophy and message that everyone involved with the business can get behind, customers can believe in and your team can deliver.

Talk to us and we’ll show you how.

Steve Pearson

“Fast forward six years and we can look back at a whole body of work that BSE have designed and implemented for us, advertising and marketing campaigns, new websites, multiple brochures, videos, social media strategies, promotional items and much more.

At VPS we always strive to be different – BSE get that and have helped get our message out there. Work has always been produced in budget, on time, (even to the shortest of deadlines) and with quality and creative content that is second to none.

Our business is going from strength to strength and BSE have played a big part in our success.”

“There are many things I could thank the team at Blue Strawberry Elephant for as I was setting up my novel cycling performance business during 2015, but the most important to me is that they demonstrated real customer focus. There was a commitment to my success – a vested interest if you will, and that is so important to every business irrespective of size and budget. Whether you work for a multinational corporation (I did) or are a start-up entrepreneur (I am), by understanding my needs and aspirations, Dave, Marc and Joss have helped me punch well above my starting weight with creative design, branding and collateral, to reflect the essence of Skyhook Coaching Services. When you see that understanding come through in the end products, delivered to spec and dead-lines, you know your agency is much more than just another design house – thanks guys! What else could anyone want?!”

The guys at Blue Strawberry Elephant are more than just a friendly bunch of creative geniuses – they go to the nth degree to bring visions to life, even when it’s difficult to explain what you’re thinking of as a client. Even when provided with copy, these guys don’t just cut and paste, they make suggestions, using their professionalism and experience in marketing to take their customer’s products and showcase them in a way that is initially totally captivating and from then continues to be appealing to the eye and easy to comprehend.

Nice job guys – we’re thankful to you daily…even if we don’t still fully understand how a Blue Strawberry Elephant could pull off such an amazing task.”
Quite frankly, Joss and Marc were given a world leading product in a tremendously competitive market with a matter of weeks to deliver a website and print collateral; and we don’t believe we would have been so instantly and insanely successfully without their massive input. We now don’t worry about our graphic design either in the USA or throughout the rest of the world. Blue Strawberry Elephant had our backs prior to launch, and they are now our firm partners as we move through our day to day business on a global level. They nailed it for us, at a price that was well under those quoted to us from other agencies; and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to any company looking for the edge in their online and print presentations. Nice job guys – we’re thankful to you daily…even if we don’t still fully understand how a Blue Strawberry Elephant could pull off such an amazing task.”

They have been instrumental in helping develop new concepts through to installation and always go that ‘little bit more’ to ensure they deliver a finished project.

With more than 40 separate locations in the UK projects have always been delivered to high standards maintained even when faced with demanding quality specifications, budget and timescales. I am sure the good work will continue and I look forward to working with them in the future.”

Design for industry

Should you be concerned? If you want rules and procedures, conformity and “the norm” then you should be. Then again, who wants “the norm”?

If you want great designs supplied at rocket speed with flair and imagination then this is the company for you.

In under 6 weeks working with Dave Atkin we re-branded a company including the production of 3 major documents, 4 exhibition stands and more promotional items than you can shake a stick at. We are now working on an ongoing mailing campaign.

More than most designers he understands the marketing behind the plans and will even write the proposals the “powers that be” demand to justify your campaigns.

Results matter – you’ll get them
