Some nice things people have said...
I approached Graphics Monkey with an incredibly woolly brief and a tight turnaround time- not an ideal scenario for an agency! I was really impressed with how Stuart managed me- asking the right questions and helping me to tighten up the brief. The project itself involved a completely new concept for Coca-Cola Europe- an online interactive innovation tool, designed to encourage employees to share their best ideas, ultimately to deliver growth to our bottom line.
As Coca-Cola is predominantly a company of marketeers working on the world's most iconic brands: its a tough audience, as the design needs to be (strictly) on brand, engaging and fun. By designing the 'farmyard' branding, Stuart created a suite of icons and concepts which were in keeping with our 'Idea Farm' concepts of planting, nurturing and harvesting. The final product was so successful that we are hoping to roll it out globally in 2011 which will equate to thousands of dollars, pounds and euros saved.
I would highly recommend using Graphics Monkey for any print or online requirement and I look forward to working with them (and having a cheeky beer) soon!

For Riverside's random selection of shows and events, I either need last-minute-creativity or resourceful-genius, and both of these challenges have been met every time. The challenge is often to please more than one producer, but on this count the concepts that Stuart delivers are tight, so that there is very little to manoeuvre - in a good way! It's been a pleasure working with Stuart and as I'm not the best of brief-writers, it's a relief when he just 'gets it'. Things come in on time, I don't need to worry about artwork deadlines to third parties, and there is always a good piece of advice around finishing or printing, which is very helpful, too.

We have used the Graphics Monkey team for our website (which has been praised even by their rivals) and design for client marketing jobs. Always 'on brand' and fastidious. Happy to recommend - as long as they still have time for us:-)

I run a busy acting school and Stuart and his team at Graphics Monkey have provided excellent work for us in the past and continue to do so. We take the promotion of our students work to the industry very seriously and we entrusted the creation of an industry invitation and other online and offline promotional materials for our exclusive showcase event to Graphics Monkey which they did on time and on budget. They were also very creative during the process. They are very pragmatic. They get on with the job and use their common sense to complete. Great company and will continue to use in the future.

The Graphics Monkey created o&i consulting's brand. As a start-up company, the value for money provided was, of course, important; however the most impressive aspect for us was Stuart's creativity and the creation of a fresh, exciting brand that represents us well in our industry, differentiates us and makes us easily recognisable.

We were recommended to use Stuart by a London design company. We previously used 2 other design agencies locally and were finding it frustrating that the designs they produced were quite static and dull.We sent our brief over to Stuart and the quote we received fitted into our small business budget. The initial concepts we had received through matched our brief and only required a few amendments until the final site was completed. The whole process took just under 2 weeks and the service we received from Stuart was exceptional throughout. Since our website has been live we have received numerous positive comments and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stuart to one of our clients. Really good design!!
