​Upgrading your design 

​

We aim to improve the visual appearance and content of existing marketing materials - print and digital. Refreshing an existing logo to create greater impact, generating content for a product or website, advising on marketing tactics and online strategies or simply creating a refreshed ad campaign to get your clients noticing you. ​

​

Give us a call to discuss your situation, and we'll be happy to meet up and talk through how we can add value to what you are doing.

​Branding a product or service

​

As an external observer, we  can approach your product or service in a fresh and objective way. Once briefed, we can begin to build a brand profile, taking into account the visual and verbal messaging that best optimises your market position. This is a two-way process - you being the brand guardian, with us aiming to provide you with the livery and strategy, as required, to ensure successful exposure and promotion.

 

The power of a brand's visual appearance and vocabulary will play an important role in its success. With new business launches, we often derive the brand name and logo to ensure a distinctive impact.

​

We're a start up business with a restricted budget

​

Many clients came with an idea, wanting thoughts on naming, branding and initial launch marketing.

We've learned that your early market success is down to this being done well.

​

Our initial consultation is free - we'll be honest about how and where we can add value, recommending complementary sources where appropriate. We can provide you with the right visual and promotional toolkit, combined with a considered marketing strategy, to ensure a memorable and successful launch. Having gone through this process several times, we can highlight likely hurdles you may encounter, for example securing and registering an optimised domain name to copyright protection of your name and brand.

I'm based overseas and wish to access UK design and creativity

​

Dowie is delighted to be part of the 'Britain is Great' Campaign - view our profile on the link.

 

We work with clients in the USA and Europe and thrive on the oportunity to stretch our strategic and creative skills to different markets and audiences. We also work with translators and provide design and project work in several languages.

You name it.
