• Profile
  • Design and marketing experts
    We’re an enthusiastic independent, London-based graphic design and branding studio with clients ranging from tiny start-ups to globe-spanning behemoths.

    Proven competence
    We’ve honed our expertise over many years, delivering a diverse set of projects across a variety of sectors. Our experience and competence mean we can offer complete marketing design, identity and branding solutions.

  • Appropriate creativity
    We never lose sight of the functional purpose of creative design: getting your message across to your target audience.

  • Approach
  • Found has developed a simple process to help its clients define their unique brand identity called Discover, Develop and Deliver.

  • Discover:
    The foundation of the whole process, ‘Discover’ literally uncovers our clients’ unique DNA or ‘soul’. We explore key areas such as their values, vision and beliefs, what differentiates their products and services in the eyes of their target markets and customers and what attracts employees to join them. We ask, what is your brand story and how do you make emotional connections with customers, employees and suppliers?

    Develop:
    If Discover is about understanding our clients’ business at a granular level, Develop is about the brief and finding the ‘visual tone of voice’ of the business, translating our findings into something tangible. The outcomes of this stage will be a new ‘visual toolkit’ and typically a refreshed identity, typography or key pages for a website

    Deliver:
    This stage is about rolling out our new visual toolkit across multiple platforms or applications, be it print, web, letterheads, business cards, packaging, etc. as specified by the client.

    If you need some professional help with your branding, please get in touch. We offer a free initial consultation to help us to understand your requirements and establish if there is a good ‘fit’ between us. Email studio@founddesign.co.uk
