A short drive from our Nuneaton studio. Brand, web, packaging and print design for Coventry businesses that have outgrown the generic and need work that looks like itself.
Coventry has more independent businesses doing genuinely interesting things than its high-street appearance suggests. Most of our Coventry work has been helping those businesses look like what they actually are — and stop being mistaken for the chain two doors down.
Earlsdon's Albany Road and Fargo Village have a high concentration of independent food, drink, retail and maker businesses — a lot of our Coventry work starts there. Roasteries, bakeries, distilleries, small studios.
Coventry University and Warwick (technically just outside the city) keep producing tech and research spin-outs that need to look credible to investors, customers and a sceptical press — usually before they can afford a London agency.
The architecture practices, law firms and property consultancies clustered around the Cathedral Quarter and Greyfriars need work that's quietly confident, not loud — the kind of identity that holds up at a planning hearing or a partner-level pitch.
Most of the work happens over video — same as it does for our clients in London, Bristol or Milan. But for Coventry briefs there are four moments where we'll always come to you in person, included in the quote at no mark-up.
A 90-minute discovery session at your office, café, studio or building site — wherever the work actually lives.
In CoventryTwo design directions presented and worked through over Zoom or Meet — usually 60–90 minutes, recorded and shared.
VideoDesigns refined and shared async via Figma and PDFs. Two scheduled review calls; ad-hoc questions handled within the working day.
Async / videoWe attend the press-check for print and packaging work, or run a handover session at your office for digital projects — at no charge for Coventry-area suppliers.
In CoventryThe Nuneaton studio felt closer than the Coventry agencies we'd spoken to — both in distance and in attitude. Nicolas came down for the kickoff, sat in the actual roastery for two hours, then went away and came back with work that smelled like our coffee. Six months later we're in fourteen stockists.
A non-exhaustive list of Coventry neighbourhoods we've shipped projects with clients in. Numbers shown are projects shipped, not active campaigns. If your area's not listed, that's not a problem — we're still 9.4 miles away.

Yes. Our studio is 9.4 miles from Coventry city centre — a 25-minute drive up the A444, or a 14-minute direct train ride from Coventry to Nuneaton. We'll come to you for the kickoff and any decisive sessions (press-checks, brand reveals, launch reviews) at no additional charge.
Day-to-day work runs over video, which keeps the budget on the design and not the travel. If you'd rather meet at the studio in Nuneaton, that's an open invitation — we've got coffee, a long table, and a wall to print work onto.
All of Coventry and the surrounding districts. Our recent work has been concentrated in Earlsdon, Fargo Village, the Cathedral Quarter and Spon End — but we've shipped projects with clients in Coundon, Stoke, Whitley, Cheylesmore, Tile Hill, Canley, Walsgrave, Allesley and Eastern Green too.
We also work regularly with clients in Kenilworth, Warwick, Leamington, Bedworth and Rugby — all easy reach from the studio.
Same-day if needed, with reasonable notice. The A444 connects the studio to Coventry's printers and ring road in 25 minutes off-peak; the train is faster than driving in rush hour.
We attend press-checks for print and packaging projects as standard, and proof sign-offs at suppliers in Coventry, Foleshill and the Bayton Road estate. If your printer's local, we already know it.
Independent food and drink (roasteries, bakeries, distilleries), architecture and design practices, small publishers and independent presses, retailers and makers around Fargo Village and Earlsdon, university spin-outs from Coventry University and Warwick, and a growing list of professional-services firms in the Cathedral Quarter and Greyfriars.
We work across nine design disciplines — brand, web, packaging, print, editorial and social — and most projects combine two or three. Browse the full portfolio for examples by discipline.
Same as anywhere — every project is quoted bespoke against scope, complexity and turnaround, with a written estimate before any work starts.
No travel mark-up for Coventry projects: we're close enough that on-site sessions don't change the brief. We don't publish day rates or package prices because every brief is genuinely different, and a fair quote needs context. Send us a brief or just a paragraph about what you're trying to do and we'll come back within one working day.
A 25-minute drive, a 14-minute train, and a written response inside one working day — no travel mark-up, no sales call.
