Profile

Telling Stories Studio is a small
creative agency which focuses
on developing clear and engaging
communications with strong ideas
and client collaboration.

We specialise in the following
to help clients find their own
distinctive voice:

— Brand identity
— Literature
— Brand guidelines
— Website
— Digital
— Signage & wayfinding
— Livery
— Packaging
— Advertising

We're not a shouty advertising
agency and we're not interested
in selling stuff people don't need.
But we do like giving individuals
and businesses a strong sense of
their own identity to help them
move on to bigger and better things.

Everything we do is driven to
develop and improve our clients business objectives — we believe
that good design is good business.

Process

We're not big mouths, we're not
all loud and outspoken, and we're
certainly not interested in world
domination... But that doesn't
mean we're not ambitious.

We work for and with our clients
to identify the core strengths and
interesting bits of their culture,
and then help bring those to the
fore using design and ideas.

We're really into good ideas,
but we're not into ideas for their
own sake... So we focus on the
bigger picture for our clients,
talking directly to their audience
in the most appropriate and
meaningful way.

Finally, being a small agency
means we can focus all our
undivided attention on our clients
problems — working closely in
a creative coalition where the
process is as enjoyable and fruitful
as the final project outcome.
