Morning, friends. How are you? I hope you’re well, and safe, and staying sane in spite of it all.
We’re plugging away over here and frankly, welcoming the distraction of our current projects. Im extremely grateful that we can effectively lock ourselves d… https://t.co/NHbPlS8vB2
It’s becoming clear that there are a great many things about the current situation which are utterly out of our hands, which is scary. However, we have determined that we will do what we can to support the community of incredible businesses we work with.… https://t.co/qvUK445SeO
As the sun shines brightly at the farm this morning and the joyful bleating of lambs fills our ears, it's difficult to reconcile our minds with the mad old world we have all found ourselves in. I know a great many people are feeling extremely anxious; fo… https://t.co/VrSayBu12E
Running to the weekend...
Hope you’re all staying safe out there. We’re pretty thankful that we are able to work remotely with our clients as meetings are already being rescheduled to virtual sessions in the light of You Know What. Slightly grateful as i… https://t.co/cOTQDMZNlz
I’ve seen sunshine three days running now. It hasn’t rained. There’s the blossom in the trees and the first lambs bouncing around the farm. Could it be... Spring?! 😱😱😱 https://t.co/iu2J0ib6Pl
Growth is outside of your comfort zone.
I’ve been pondering on this lately. We have a couple of projects on the go which are most certainly challenging us - in a really good way, I should add - and making us think hard about certain elements of our proce… https://t.co/nAn2q19mE4
Working on a farm is wonderful in so many ways. It makes you so incredibly in tune with the shifting of the seasons; there’s a reassuring rhythm to farming which provides an ever present sign post to the time of year.
Right now, the ewes are in the lambi… https://t.co/XDTFSrOCMR
Let me tell you a story. This afternoon I spent a quiet few moments in the corner of our sun-bathed studio, putting together gift boxes to welcome the new clients who we will shortly be working with. Immersing myself in the gentle ritual of placing the t… https://t.co/AYVyEooOk9
Hello! Happy Friday! And how are you?
It’s been a while; I know. I had a chat with myself at the beginning of the year about how I really must make a more concerted effort to post regular, inspiring and helpful content - but the reality is that some week… https://t.co/BV4r8tfIwk
Did you know we began life as a print studio? Although we’ve evolved beyond the days of mass print runs, a passion for getting ink on paper remains and we LOVE seeing our work in print!
Earlier this month we sent these beauties to production for @hayne_… https://t.co/k2Shzy7SA2
This week we welcomed one of our lovely clients to the studio for what’s always a really exciting meeting - the Brand Reveal. After months of working together, the culmination of our efforts is ready to present and the moment they see their new brand arr… https://t.co/Zm7GKSKB8L
It’s not every day that someone who is ACTUAL MAGIC approaches us for a rebrand! Matthew Le Mottée has been the most fun to work with; he’s a brilliant client, thoroughly lovely company and the most talented magician I’ve ever seen.

Stories. Every brand has one, yet so many of their guardians struggle to articulate them.
But stories matter; they have depth and emotion and resonance, and they give your people a reason to care - a reason to choose your business over another.
We spend … https://t.co/6G4UYvMhI8
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful festive break? We had a magical time celebrating our first Christmas with Evie - so special. She even took her first steps over the Christmas break, just shy of her
As ever, the slower days of Christmas provide… https://t.co/tmnehSJH8I
How’s your year been? A year of big growth? A year of twists and turns? If there’s one thing that’s for certain, it’s that 2020 promises to keep us all on our toes. With a general election yet to happen, and Brexit edging ever closer, it’s an uncertain t… https://t.co/mVpSCasnph
How are you feeling about the year ahead? Buoyant and confident or mildly fretful?
There’s much on the horizon that can feel spooky and uncertain for small businesses, causing confidence to dip and trade to judder. But we’ve been here before; the economy… https://t.co/4GSDD2VpnS
Well, hello! 👋 good weekend?
Ours wasn’t ideal. The smallest one got her first cold, which she generously shared with me - and I shared with Dan. So our household is the picture of health right now as I’m sure you can imagine 🤧
There’s no time for b… https://t.co/admfIicpTx
There’s a commonly held misconception amongst small business owners that we must appear bigger than we really are in order to be taken seriously - and that is simply not the case. There is absolutely nothing shameful in being a solopreneur, or in running… https://t.co/bNOnYNvhmQ
Black Friday is nearly upon us and the retail giants are all jumping on the bandwagon, slashing prices in a bid to win that sale. I’m not a fan of Black Friday - I think it’s dangerous for business, and frankly bad news for the economy as a whole. Actual… https://t.co/30Lu0Qvz04
