An experienced team of design, web & marketing professionals
We are a flexible team of multi-skilled graphic designers, web developers, PR and digital marketing experts
Collectively the Brandspace team has experience in all aspects of branding and marketing communications from brand identity to annual reports, design for print, advertising, public relations, event graphics, social media, website design and digital marketing.
Designers, developers, digital experts, writers, strategists and marketeers to name a few. Many of us have learnt our trade at leading agencies in London and abroad before joining Brandspace – a creative agency committed to providing powerful marketing communications in a manner that is responsive, cost-effective and gets results.
Our B2B and B2C clients range from small start-ups to SMEs, corporates, charities and the public sector in markets including financial services, logistics, software, wellbeing, retail, construction, engineering, travel and manufacturing.
We give you creativity, passion, honesty, responsiveness, flexibility, consistency and value
A return on investment for our clients is at the heart of our agency’s marketing approach. Some disciplines are more difficult to measure, but where possible we demonstrate the best value. Sometimes the approach is strategic and complex, but we also recognise some projects simply require a cost-effective solution with a fast turnaround.
The value is in our people, their expertise and their passion to achieve for clients. When committing to work with us it is essential the chemistry is right as we want an open, trusted and lasting ‘partnership’ rather than a more distant client/supplier relationship. This always leads to greater success for both parties and is one of the reasons why our clients stay with us for the long term.
We treat our work seriously, and very personally and respect our clients’ needs enormously. It is also important for everyone to enjoy what they do. With this approach, success and reward are shared.
Why should you work with us?
Our experts have many years of industry experience in very specific disciplines, so we can ensure you always work with designers, web developers, copywriters and marketing experts who have attributes and skills suited to your requirements. We also have an extended team of experts if you require more specialist services such as animation, 3D modelling, search engine optimisation and more.
Our hot-desking approach means we don’t have big expensive offices, pool tables and funky furniture to pay for that would otherwise end up on your invoice! A small office in Canterbury serves as a base for the core team, but we also have a number of experts who work from home offices and are connected online to our servers. This enables us to keep our costs down and stay competitive, so you are truly paying for our expertise and time, not our luxuries!
Consistency is paramount, but also our flexible structure enables us to keep the creative work fresh, as we are not limited to just local designers who can travel to the office. Some of our extended team are spread around the UK and work from creative studios at home to give them greater flexibility, so they can jump onboard with projects as and when needed.
Unlike large agencies, we believe in allowing clients to have direct communication if we feel a project requires it. For example, midway through a project you may just want to talk through a few amendments to your brochure or website content, so it makes good sense to discuss directly with the designer, web developer or copywriter. It can also reduce the chance of errors in communication, ensure faster completion and more efficient use of your budget.
Every client still has an Account Director or Project Manager assigned to them to ensure there is a main point of contact to discuss a brief, budgets or strategy.
To arrange a meeting to discuss your marketing communications, please get in touch by phone, email or use the enquiry form. Initial consultations are confidential, free of charge and without obligation.
