I feel so lucky to have found Bower! Emily is fantastic at what she does, she understood my vision right from the get go and has quite literally turned my idea into something real, tangible, right before my eyes, magic! Emily has given my brand its own identity and values and if I say so myself, a very cool logo! More...

Emily helped us to create a brand that we love - initially it felt out of our comfort zone, but we are so glad that she took us on that journey!

At the Ulleskelf Arms we have received a marvellous service from Emily @bowerspaces. Starting with Emily's work on our logo, through friendly and insightful advice on how to grow our branding and now the website which we all think is spot on. She's found functionality that we can manage ourselves and a style which reflects what we want. We can't recommend her highly enough. More...

In Spring 2017, Bower worked with The Cat Gallery on a re-branding exercise, including implementation of the brand throughout our business.
Emily held our hand from start to finish, whilst also challenging us to go outside our comfort zone. We are very happy with the results - a contemporary identity that links seamlessly between website, catalogue, and shop.
We felt fully involved in the process. Emily gave us plenty of ideas and advice, but also listened to our feedback and the final result reflects a positive team approach. We have no hesitation in recommending Emily and Bower to anyone thinking of going through a re-branding exercise.

We love our new branding and enjoyed the creative process with Bower! Working with Bower we were pushed out of comfort zone which our business really needed .

What makes a great website?
1. RESPONSIVE DESIGN websites need to be easily viewable and usable regardless of the device it is being viewed on (mobile, tablet, desktop).
2. MINIMALISM Clean & clear ideally using bespoke photography.
3. USER-FRIENDLY Easy for a customer to use/navigate.
4. PERSONALIZED USER EXPERIENCE Accurately depicts what the brand is selling be it product or service, and engaging for the customers.
5. EXTRAORDINARY CONTENT Makes a business stand out from the crowd, and makes you want to stay a bit longer.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?

OUR PROMISES
COLLABORATION: It will be a fun, and immersive experience! We work best by partnering with you as a creative extension of your team
CREATIVITY: To create content that resonates and a unique style that will help and differentiate your brand: we use a number of exercises from the branding wheel to pinterest to make this a smooth process which involves the client at all stages.
SPECIAL INGREDIENT: We use a special insight-led process to root your brand, and our design, to your customers' wants and needs.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
We have a process which starts with a set up call to get all the information we need and identify where there maybe any gaps...then take it from there.
What do you love most about your job?
The variety of clients and businesses that we have supported. Working with smaller businesses, we have tended to work closely with owners, so being able to really understand what makes that business work is always fascinating.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Flexibility, freedom and to choose who we work with :-)
