Ideas that stop the scroll

We're a small, senior team making brand identities, campaigns, social, video and out-of-home for ambitious businesses on the South Coast and beyond.

Case study

Tidewell Coffee: a roastery that tastes of the coast.

The challenge
A much-loved local roaster moving into supermarkets needed a brand that stood out on a crowded shelf without losing its seaside character.
The idea
A rising-sun mark and a tide-line pattern that changes colour for each roast, so every bag tells you what's inside at a glance.
What we made
Logo and identity system, packaging for six roasts, a launch campaign across social and bus shelters, and a 30-second film.

The studio

Small team. Big ideas. No account-handler maze.
