I can highly recommend Copper Media. Did a great job of the infographic we'd requested - swiftly made any changes needed until we were happy with the finished product. A pleasure to work with.

Copper Media were excellent to work with on our publication 'On Energy', the digital and print copies look and feel great and Julian was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. We've used Copper Media a few times now for different projects and will continue to use them in the future. Highly recommended! More...

We really enjoyed the process of working with the team from Copper Media. They understood our brief from the start and were in constant touch, always meeting deadlines and working to a really high standard. The results are a supporter magazine that has been deemed the best we've ever produced and that has raised more money for our charity than previous issues. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with them. More...

Working with Julian at Copper Media is great. I provided a brief and ideas and he was able to create a brand identity very quickly which only needed a few tweaks to complete. He is extremely creative and has loads of good ideas, as well as being able to point out any challenges in the proposed design. This professional advice is invaluable, providing the input of someone who has seen it all before! I'd highly recommend Copper Media and I've already commissioned them to do another piece of branding work for me. More...

As someone who has worked in visual & live communication for the best part of 30 years, I have to say that Copper Media are one of the very best companies that I have worked with. It's not just the end result achieved (which is always strong / focused / inspired) it's the journey ... it's the delightful way we get there. That's important and something that's worth its weight in gold. So, my advice is to go for Copper and get Gold! More...

I have worked with Julian on a number of projects over the past few years for our Multi Academy Trust. Julian's ideas, attention to detail and the speed at which the projects are completed is second to none. No matter how small the project, Julian is always happy to help out and we are always delighted with the results. I would not hesitate in recommending Copper Media! More...

I highly recommend Copper Media. We have always been delighted with everything they have produced for us, from our quarterly membership magazine to more bespoke one off publications. The creativity offered in the design work is always original, but keeps within our own brand guidelines and the customer service received from both Julian and Jo is exemplary, with them both going out of their way to meet our deadlines in delivering us a perfect product.

It was a great experience working with Copper Media, they listened to my needs and came back with excellent ideas and proposals using the ideas I had, but enhancing them to a level I couldn't have achieved without their assistance

Describe your creative process.
The design process is supported by a two way relationship between us and the clients, who we ask to provide as much insight and feedback throughout. Every job begins with developing a creative brief and we will ask you to spend a little time thinking about your business, your audience, your objectives and the scope of the work. Once the brief is agreed we will develop some concepts as part of a first response which will help us establish a look and feel without going into too much detail. We will ask for your thoughts on elements like use of colour, typefaces, style, use of photography, and layout. Once an appropriate style or look has been agreed the project will proceed through a number of drafts until we arrive at something you love! We ask clients to be involved throughout because then we know that there will be something of them in the final artwork
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
It's so helpful to have as much background as possible. This will be 'hard' information such as the number of pieces of print you might need or the deadline but it will be your thoughts and ideas that will support and inform the beginning of the creative process. We might ask you to put together a mood board of images or colours, guide us on look and feel, send us your brand guidelines (if you have them) or point us towards anything that delights or inspires you.
What do you love most about your job?
We're small and we like that.
We love working on briefs that we can get really get behind, forming a project team with the client for the duration of the job.
But most of all we love words and images.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We knew that we had skills that were complementary and believed that working together in a small business was the best way to ensure that our jobs fully reflect our skills and ambitions. With young children (and a dog) we also wanted to work in a way that would allow us flexibility.
Why should our clients choose you?
Our client get our full attention for the full duration of the job. You'll deal directly with Jo for writing or content projects or with Julian for graphic design jobs. We value our clients and work hard to ensure we deliver on every aspect of a project and at a reasonable price.
