In February 2015 they took on the mission of a complete re-brand for Whyfield as we felt we were struggling to deliver our message to potential clients and stand out from our competitors, we knew why our customers should choose us but we didn’t know how to market this.
Their expertise, experience and approach of going about giving us a fresh new look far surpassed our expectations.
We were so excited by how our brand looked after we worked with Friends that we didn’t hesitate to ask them to redesign our entire website, marketing collateral and stationery, giving us a consistently professional look that people could associate with us and our growing business.
The re-brand has been more beneficial to our business than we could imagine; our client base has more than tripled since. We are sure that this due to our company core values being communicated via our brand and we have full confidence in our approach. We can now focus entirely on running and expanding the business and delivering an excellent level of service to our clients

My experience of working with Kelly Thomas has always been positive. She listens, creates and delivers, every time. Kelly's enthusiasm is infectious and her ability to visualise and interpret what I'd like to achieve is unique. Friends - the friendly approach to brand, design and creativity. More...
Merry Whitaker
The quality of Friends' design work is beautiful. They really 'get' what we are trying to achieve and their graphics are beautifully drawn and put together. We can't recommend them highly enough. More...
What do you love most about your job?
The variety of clients that we get to work with, although our main focus is solely creating new brands and developing existing ones, we also regularly work on printed collateral, website design, signage/wayfinding, exhibitions, packaging, vehicle livery and commercial interiors. Oh and we love to eat in our studio, lots of cake and coffee! Never a dull moment…
What inspired you to start your own business?
A life long love of great design, wanting to help others succeed in their own businesses and also remembering that working in your own business enables us to work around family life - this is hugely important to us.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because we are the real deal, over 20 years of high level industry design experience, the ability to listen to the clients brief and advise where necessary, the ability to deliver exceptionally designed authentic design, delivered within set timeframes and always with a personal touch.

Brand Strategy - Your Brand Foundation
Does your brand have spark?
You know, that ingredient of magic that helps your business stand out in a busy arena? That rare and elusive ‘je ne sais quoi’ that gets your brand noticed?

You probably know which of your competitors in your sector have ‘it’. They always look so damn cool, they’re on your radar, you read their social media posts and think ‘yeah, you’re so bang on, that’s great’, they attract the coolest cats to work for them and they land kick-ass clients. This is all awesome for them, but what about you and your brand.
