Bland doesn’t build brands.

Building a business is f**king hard work. Our brands graft like their owners do. With creativity to stand out and strategy to work out why, how and where.

  • A woman with dark hair in a bun, wearing a white t-shirt and gray pants, standing with arms crossed in front of a black wooden wall, smiling.

    "Tom’s become our brand guardian, creative guru, and a real friend along the way"

    Anna Bearne - Founder Anna Cake Couture

  • Man with glasses and a white shirt standing in a kitchen with green cabinets and a shelf with decorative bowls and a vase with yellow flowers.

    “His strategic wizardry took our often vague ideas and turned them into something tangible and brilliant.”

    Henry Hardy - The Bristol Practice

  • A man with short dark hair and light skin, smiling, sitting on a beige sofa wearing a light brown button-up shirt and a black watch.

    "After developing our brand strategy Tom then followed it through with brilliant creative execution. All while working in true partnership."

    Edgar Thoemmes - CEO Virtually There

  • A woman with blonde hair sitting at a wooden table, smiling, with plants in the background.

    “Tom somehow finds small gems of ideas and evolves them into reality - from menu designs through to our much loved mescal den."

    Imogen Waite - Season+Taste Hospitality

  • A smiling man in a black jacket sitting in an office with coworkers and plants in the background.

    "Tom was the creative genius behind our rebrand which is now providing invaluable cut-through in a very busy market."

    Bradley Rennie - Marketing Director The Letting Game

Multi-what?

Sometimes you need a creative director, other times a strategist, a designer, a copywriter, or all of the above - a multihyphenate approach.

We bring those disciplines together so you don’t have to juggle multiple partners and spend more of your hard earned cash.

Whether you’re a start-up shaping your first identity, an SME navigating growth, or an established brand ready for change, we’ll combine strategy and creativity so your brand stands out in a world that’s otherwise scrolling past.

FAQ’s

  • Bristol is full of creative studios, but we approach brand strategy with equal parts rigour and imagination. We dig into your audience, positioning, and ambitions before we ever touch design. That way, your brand isn’t just good-looking, it’s grounded in a clear direction that works in the real world. Not only that, there’s only one of me. Which means overheads are low, and creativity is high. It’s the perfect blend for getting the experience without the price tag.

  • Both. As a Bristol branding agency, we create everything from distinctive logos to full identity systems, colour palettes, typography, tone of voice, applications. The aim is consistency, whether it’s on a business card in Clifton or a billboard in Bedminster.

  • Yes. Many Bristol businesses come to us with branding that no longer fits who they are. We’ll refine and re-energise what you’ve already built, keeping the recognition while evolving the identity so it feels fresh, relevant, and ready for growth.

  • We do. Our websites combine strong design with performance, responsive, and easy to manage. Whether you’re a Bristol start-up needing a portfolio site or an established business looking for e-commerce, we’ll create a site that looks great and works hard.

  • It begins with a conversation. We’ll run a discovery session to understand your business, your audience, and your goals. From there, we develop concepts, test ideas, and refine the design until you’ve got something that feels right and performs in the Bristol market and beyond.

  • Yes. Words and visuals go hand in hand. I can shape brand messaging, tone of voice, website copy, and campaign headlines so your brand doesn’t just look good, it sounds right too.

  • Definitely. We create marketing materials for businesses across Bristol, from menus and brochures to packaging, posters, and signage. Each touchpoint is designed to reinforce your brand and connect with your audience, whether in-store or online.

  • Timelines depend on scale. A full rebrand with strategy, identity, and website might take 8–12 weeks. Smaller refreshes can be quicker. We’ll set clear timelines upfront so you know exactly how your Bristol branding project will run.

  • Yes. We love helping Bristol start-ups launch with impact, and we also support established organisations ready to evolve. Whether it’s a fresh identity or a full repositioning, the goal is the same: a brand that cuts through and connects.

  • Every project is different, but we’re transparent from the start. Once we scope your needs, we’ll send a clear proposal with deliverables and costs. Pencils aren’t sharpened until we’ve all agreed a price for the project. Our work is designed to add long-term value for Bristol businesses, not just create a nice logo.
