BRANDING

If your brand feels inconsistent, outdated or no longer reflects who you are, we’ll work alongside you to create a clear, confident brand identity that builds trust with your customers and sets you apart from your competitors.

Brand strategy

Great branding doesn’t start with a logo. It starts with strategy. We dig into who you are, who you serve, your competitors, and where you’re headed. We then build a foundation that sets you up to stand out in your market.

Logo + brand concepts

Your visual brand and logo are the face of everything you do. We design logos and visual brand concepts that are strategy-led, sophisticated and beautiful representations of your firm. We don’t aim for kitsch; we focus on longevity.

Visual brand identity

Strategy sets the direction, and visual identity brings it to life. We craft logos, colour, typography and imagery that don’t just look good, but work hard, telling your story clearly wherever your brand shows up.

Brand implementation

Brand implementation is the crucial stage that a lot of businesses underestimate. Brand implementation is taking the creative intent of the concepts and rolling this across all branded touchpoints. This is where we shine.

Brand tone of voice

It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. We define the words, phrasing and personality behind your brand, so everything you write, from a proposal to a social post, sounds unmistakably you.

Brand guidelines

Guidelines are the rulebook that keeps your brand consistent. We document your logo, colour, typography and imagery so every touchpoint feels unmistakably you, no matter who’s creating it or where it shows up.

Brand audit

We assess every touchpoint, from your website and social media to your proposals and Microsoft templates, and combine this with customer and staff insights to reveal what’s working, and what needs a stronger brand approach

Brand management

Brands aren’t set and forget. We help keep yours consistent and on track over time, guiding decisions, reviewing new work and making sure every touchpoint stays true to the identity we built together.

DESIGN

Most design problems can’t be solved with a cookie‑cutter approach. That’s where we come in. We dig into our extensive experience, bring in the best to help, and deliver solutions that work.

Graphic design

Good design does more than look the part, it does the job. We create graphics, documents and collateral that bring your brand to life, so everything you put out feels considered, consistent and unmistakably yours.

Event visual design

Big events need brands that can scale, from a 12-metre screen to a name tag. We design cohesive visual experiences across every touchpoint, giving your event the polish and precision it deserves, from start to finish.

Print and digital design

Your brand needs to work as hard on screen as it does on paper. We design across both, from brochures and reports to digital assets and social, keeping everything sharp, consistent and true to brand.

PowerPoint + Word

Everyday documents shouldn’t look like an afterthought. We design PowerPoint decks and Word documents that are polished, functional and unmistakably on-brand, so your team looks professional every time they open a blank page.

Strategic design

Some projects need more than a visual refresh, they need real thinking behind them. We work through complex problems like proposals, pitch decks and using service design, we craft outcomes that go beyond just being beautiful.

Campaign design

A campaign needs to work everywhere it lands, from digital to print. We design cohesive visual concepts that flex across every channel, keeping your message sharp, consistent and unmistakably on-brand from launch to close.

Website designs / develop

Websites are your global-facing credentials. We design sites that look sharp and work hard, translating your identity online with clarity, consistency and a user experience that does your firm justice.

Canva templates

For the smaller firms, we build custom Canva templates for social media that are easy to use, professionally designed and true to your brand. No more off-brand DIY designs; just consistent, polished content every time.

MICROSOFT TEMPLATES

We build custom Word, PowerPoint and Excel templates that are easy to use, completely on-brand and designed to save your team time.

We create all kinds of templates, including proposals, reports, letterheads, annual reports, capability statements, and any template or document type you need.

Many of the firms we work with come to us after their original templates failed them, often because they were never built to work properly in Microsoft in the first place.

True templates are engineered using deep Microsoft expertise and careful execution.

This is what we do best.

PowerPoint templates

A template is only as good as the time it saves. We build beautiful PowerPoint templates that are easy to use and hard to get wrong, so your team can create polished, on-brand decks without starting from scratch.

Word templates

Every document is a chance to reinforce your brand. We build Word templates that are simple to use and consistently on-brand, so every document your team produces looks polished and professional, without the guesswork.

PowerPoint proposals

When the win to you is worth it, uplift your proposal designs. We’ve won our clients' million-dollar engagements before doing exactly this.  We design PowerPoint proposal templates built bespoke for your high-value submissions.

Information memorandums

Capital raises and business sales are high-stakes moments, and your information memorandum is often the first thing buyers see. We design sophisticated information memorandums in PowerPoint that present your opportunity with impact and remain easy to update as the deal progresses.

Excel templates

Spreadsheets get shared just as often as decks. We build Excel templates from workbooks to charts and graphs, so even your data looks considered, consistent and on-brand.

Templates for use in AI

Rubbish in. Rubbish out. AI tools are only as good as what they’re built on. We create Microsoft templates designed to work with AI, so your team can generate content faster, without ever losing sight of your brand.

PowerPoint presentations

Some presentations need more than a template, they need a bespoke build. We design PowerPoint decks from scratch, crafting every slide with intention, so your next pitch, report or keynote lands exactly as it should.

PowerPoint graphics libraries

Great templates need great assets to support them. We build graphics libraries of over 100 on-brand graphic pages, giving your team everything they need to build documents that look like a designer has created them.

FRACTIONAL DESIGN LEADERSHIP

Every brand needs design leadership. That’s where we come in. Acting as your fractional creative director, we help you implement your new brand, oversee designers and get the most from your design team, all without the cost of a senior hire.

Rebrand project management

A rebrand touches every part of your business, and without the right leadership it can quickly lose direction. We manage your rebrand from strategy to rollout, coordinating designers, agencies and stakeholders so your new brand launches on time, budget and consistently.

Temporary design management

When your design lead is absent, or you’re between hires, work can’t stop. We step in as an interim design manager, keeping projects moving, maintaining brand standards and supporting your team until the right permanent solution is in place.

Design team set-up + recruiting advice

Building an in-house design team is a big investment, so it pays to get it right. We help you define the roles you need, structure your team for growth and assess candidates, so you hire the right designers the first time.

Design consultancy

Sometimes you just need an experienced outside perspective. Our design consultancy offers expert advice on brand, design and creative direction, helping you make confident decisions and get more value from every design investment.

Design team mentorship

We mentor your in-house design team, sharpening their creative and technical skills, building confidence and helping them deliver higher-quality, on-brand work that grows with your business.

Design process and systems

Great design depends on great systems. We set up clear design processes, briefing and approval workflows, brand asset libraries and template systems that help your team focus on what's important
