About us!
Meet Sam
Hello, I’m Sam. I’ve worked in brand and creative for over 20 years, helping businesses define who they are and how they show up, from brand strategy and tone of voice to visual identity and campaign creative.
I’ve built brands from scratch, refreshed tired ones, and helped bring consistency and meaning to businesses that had grown fast and lost their way. I don’t just make things look good, I make sure they feel right, for the people inside the business as much as the customers outside it.
Clients say I ask good questions, listen well, and always bring a calm head to the chaos. I love helping businesses find the confidence to be themselves and show it.
I live with my husband and son, and love keeping fit, cooking for friends, and spending time with family. I’m down to earth, honest, and easy to get along with, no egos, no jargon, just a genuine desire to help you get your brand and marketing working properly
Meet John
Hi, I’m John. I’ve spent the last 20+ years working in leadership and marketing, from brand positioning and product launches to global campaigns. Most recently as Marketing & NPD Director for a leading pet food group.
I’ve led big teams and delivered strategic change. But I’ve also been the one at the “coalface” writing the copy, briefing the designer, digging through data to find the truth. I’ve run my own business too, so I know what it’s like to juggle growth, people, customers, and everything in between.
I don’t do noise, I believe marketing should make things clearer, not more complicated. I care deeply about helping business owners get the recognition and results they deserve, by telling the right story to the right people in the right way.
Outside of work, I’m usually with my wife and two kids, either camping, going on family walks, or cheering on Everton and Warrington RLFC.
We’re not trying to build an empire. We just want to do good work with great people…..

What We Are Not
It’s easy to tell you who and what we are but it might be more helpful to tell you what we are not!
We are not about profit over people. Yes we have to earn a living but we do it honestly and genuinely by forging good relationships with business owners who appreciate the value of what we can do for them.
We are not a huge agency with a pool table and swanky furniture in reception. We don’t have a frappucino and smoothie machine (although we do make a great coffee with cookies!)
We are not an army of Account Handlers, New Business Managers, and Sales Directors clambering for the next deal. We are not about politics, gossip or smoke and mirrors.
We are also not a faceless online company offering cheap-as-chips logos.
There is something out there for everyone but it’s important to find the right fit for you.
So, if you prefer to be wined and dined and play pool before every meeting – we are not for you.
If you think your company logo is only worth the price of a takeaway – then again we’re not for you.
