The difference

Big brand standards.A direct line to the designer.

Big organisations come to me when they want work that looks world class but don't want to wait on an agency machine. You talk to the person doing the design, every time. Ideas move faster, briefs stay sharp, and what you approve is what goes out.

A woolly brief→A clear, confident ideaI ask the right questions up front, so the creative is built on what you actually need.
Agency layers→Straight to the designerNo account handlers or juniors. The person you brief is the person who designs it.
A new supplier every job→A partner who knows your brandWork with the same senior designer month after month. No re-briefing, no learning curve, just consistent work.
Deadline panic→On time, on brandTight turnarounds are normal for my clients. I plan for them, so you can relax.

What I can do for you

Six ways to make your brand work harder.

Whether it's a flagship project or design support across the whole year, you get one partner across print, digital and live events.

Ways to work together

One big project, or a partner for the whole year.

Many of my biggest clients started with one important project and stayed for years. I've worked with England Rugby since 2015, and The Jockey Club relies on me for ongoing design support.

Flagship projects

When it has to be right first time

Brand roll-outs, annual reports, websites and event programmes. Projects with a big audience and a fixed deadline, led from first idea to final file by a senior designer.

Typical projects: annual reports and reviews, brand roll-outs, new websites, matchday and hospitality programmes.

Ongoing design partner

Your design team, without the overheads

A reserved block of design time each month for marketing teams with a steady flow of work. You get priority turnaround, someone who already knows your brand inside out, and costs you can plan for.

Ideal for: in-house marketing teams at sports bodies, venues, membership organisations and cultural institutions.

What clients say

“
I was really impressed with how Stuart managed me, asking the right questions and helping me to tighten up the brief. The final product was so successful that we are hoping to roll it out globally.

Louise Kelly, Communication Channels Manager, Coca-Cola

The quality of Stuart's communication, design work, and final output was extremely high. I would recommend Stuart and Graphics Monkey to anyone looking for high quality graphic design, with intelligent and personalised service throughout.

Charles Street, MxP Partners

Our briefs often have a very short turnaround time and Stuart always does a brilliant job of meeting our deadline requirements and interpreting our briefs with a consistently high quality of design.

Laura Jeffries, Twickenham Experience

Thank you so much for all of the work you've done over the past few months to help us out with the brand project. You've been absolutely brilliant!

Sarah Leggett, Marketing Manager, The National Archives

25

years of experience, working for you.

You get the experience. Not the learning curve.

I've designed for broadcasters, sports bodies, retailers, financiers and cultural institutions. That means I can get to the heart of your brief quickly, spot problems before they cost you, and know what will work on a billboard, a brochure or a screen.

Fewer roundsI get to the right answer faster, which saves your time and budget.
Brand safeUsed to strict guidelines and demanding brand teams.
Calm under pressureBig deadlines and moving goalposts are part of the job.

How we'll work together

Simple, personal and on your schedule.

01Listen and sharpenWe talk through what you need and what success looks like. I help tighten the brief so nothing gets lost.
02Create and refineI design, you give feedback, we refine together. You always know where things are.
03Deliver, then stay on handPrint ready, screen ready, launch ready. And when the next job comes along, I already know your brand.
