We always collaborate closely with our clients to ensure we understand exactly what is needed from us.

After we have met or talked with you and discussed your requirements, we will provide you with a proposal or estimate. This will outline expected timescales and costs associated with the project.

On acceptance of the proposal and subject to settlement of agreed payment terms, we will then provide you with a schedule for completing the work.

The brief:

A design brief is an essential part of the design process and is important to get right. The more we understand about your company, and your objectives, the more likely we will deliver creative that gets you results!

Where possible, your brief should try and answer some of these questions:

• Background - what is the background of the project? Why is it being done?
• Target audience - what do they already think about this subject? Is there anything that should be avoided?
• Objectives - what is to be accomplished
• Single minded proposition - what is the one thing to tell the audience? What is the single thing they should remember about the offering?
• Deliverables - what is to be used to give the audience the message? What is the best way or place to reach this audience?
• Timeline - how soon is this needed?
• Budget - If you have a budget, let us know what it is so we can try and achieve the most possible for your money.

Do not worry if you cannot answer some or all of these questions. We are here to help.
