Our Branding Process

Greg and Lewis on iPad

Step 01

Brand Discovery

We start all our branding projects with a deep dive into you and your business. During this process, we ask all the right questions to identify your brand values, personality, strengths, target audience and goals for the future.

Step 02

Initial Sketches &  Concepts

We take what we've learned from your brand discovery process, get the creative juices flowing, and start creating an artistic direction for your brand identity. Our designers will sketch and design a number of concepts, and organise them in a pitch document to discuss with you.

Step 03

Develop Chosen Concept

Once we have all agreed on the concept we're going with, we'll get to work developing this into a near final concept, acting on any feedback we've obtained from you in the initial concept stage.

Step 04

Final Output and Delivery

This step is about finalising what we've produced, acting on any final feedback, and creating any additional brand assets you may need.

You will receive a brand pack including your logo and assets in a variety of formats for web and print, and a brand guideline for usage.

What makes us different?

We get you involved

We start all our branding projects with an in-depth discovery session with you. We’ve honed this process over the years to ensure it gives us everything we need to make good decisions whilst designing your brand concepts. After all, your brand has to represent you and your business, so it’s essential that we understand what makes you tick. Not only this, but we get you involved at each step of the branding process, getting your feedback on each iteration and ensuring that we produce a brand identity that you can wear with pride.

We Think Ahead

As an agency, we create design collateral, websites, videos and photography in house, so we’re always thinking about the future and how your brand will be used. This results in a broad, flexible brand identity that won’t need remaking if you decide to produce video, or a brochure.

We’re Experts

We’ve been doing this for a long time, so have seen a lot of design trends come and go, and worked with hundreds of clients, big and small. This gives us the required context to create a brand identity for you that will stand the test of time.

The team at F8 Creates filmed TEDx Worcester earlier this year.

They were immense in terms of how they supported us as speakers and in getting the final product ready for publication on the YouTube channel.

Hugely grateful to Hamish and the team for all the work they've done.

Highly recommend them.

We commissioned F8 Creates to produce videos for a charity I work with, and the results were excellent. From the outset, they took time to understand the organisation, its values, and what we were trying to communicate - which made a real difference to the final product.

The videos are professional, thoughtful, and genuinely capture the work of the charity in a way that feels human rather than corporate. The team were easy to work with, responsive, and delivered on brief. I'd have no hesitation recommending them to other charities or organisations looking for high-quality video content.

We have worked with F8 on several occasions, with Hamish serving as our primary point of contact throughout. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail have consistently ensured a seamless experience.

Over the past number of years, F8 has supported us across a range of projects, including professional photography during the summer period, video production assignments, and the development of branding assets for pop-ups and exhibition stands. On each occasion, the quality of delivery has been excellent, with a clear understanding of our brand and objectives.

We have been working with F8 creates for several years and have consistently been impressed by the quality of their work and the strength of our relationship. They designed and built our website, as well as providing photography and video services, all of which are delivered to an exceptionally high standard.

What truly sets them apart is their commitment to understanding our business needs. They take the time to listen and always provide thoughtful, strategic recommendations focused on achieving the best possible results.

We greatly value our partnership with them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services.

Having worked with Hamish, Greg and the team at F8 for over a decade, it has always been a genuinely positive experience. That continued recently when we collaborated on a video project, as Marketing Manager at OCM. Clear communication and reliable delivery are essential and F8 delivered on both. The project ran smoothly, with excellent comms and the final result was something my client is really pleased with.

Working alongside Hamish in particular is always a creative and open experience, where ideas are welcomed and developed as well as brought to life in a way that feels collaborative rather than transactional. That level of partnership makes a real difference.

Speaking as Ruby from You Do Better Ltd, having a production partner you can trust to understand both the brief and the bigger picture is invaluable... and F8 consistently deliver that.

Professional, personable and easy to work with, I would highly recommend them.

I'd highly recommend them.

We had an excellent experience working with F8 on the build of our website. The team did a fantastic job delivering the project within a relatively tight deadline and were always available to discuss any questions or issues that arose along the way. They handled the various quirks and complexities of the build quickly and efficiently.

Working with Greg and Alex has been a real pleasure. Even now, with the day-to-day running of the site, they are always at the end of the phone and ready to help whenever needed. I would highly recommend them.

We’ve had a very positive experience when we asked F8 to create a name and branding for our new business venture. The team were great to work with, nothing was too much trouble. We had several face to face meeting and they always hit deadlines and completed the work in a shorter timescale than we expected without compromising on quality. And most importantly they totally nailed the brief. We’ve had so many compliments on our branding and it really sets us apart. They also went above and beyond with setting up our Shopify website so we could start trading. We would happily recommend them to anybody!!! Thank you F8 for everything you’ve done for us!!

I've had a wonderful experience, working with the whole team at F8. They created a fantastic marketing campaign for us, looking at brand conception, creation of marketing assets and developing film for us to use for the campaign. Lewis and Greg have been a fantastic support, quick to respond and always understood what we were trying to achieve with our campaign - in many ways better than we did.
100% recommended and would always favour them in future!

Highly recommend Hamish and his team. Pre-shoot, we met, took a detailed brief, and the folks at F8 advised on practicalities.

During the event itself, F8 were super-professional and were proactive collecting footage for the event itself, as well as additional brand-building purposes.

Post-production, everything was delivered on-time, with great attention to detail. Was a pleasure working with them and I would definitely work with F8 again.

We recently hired F8 to photograph a 35th Anniversary event and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the outset they were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that every detail was covered. Their service was top-notch, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. One of the standout features of their work was the combination of analogue and digital photography. This mix complemented each other really well and added a unique quality to the photos. The final images are fantastic and a great record of the event and snapshot of our company at 35 years old.

The team at F8 Creates worked with us to develop branding for a new coworking and meeting space venture.

They took the time to really understand what we were looking for, collaborating with us to create what is now our branding and website. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with, efficient and creative - bring our ideas to life and showing that they really understood what we were looking for!

Thank you to all of you at F8 Creates!
