Public sector
We work with local authorities, combined authorities, government bodies and publicly funded organisations to deliver creative that’s clear, accountable and built for the communities it serves. From civic identity to public engagement campaigns, we understand the specific pressures of communicating on behalf of everyone.
What we do
Our work is people-first, strategic and always tailored to the context, whether that’s civic engagement, health inequalities, service transformation or behaviour change.
We support public sector teams with everything from strategic thinking to final delivery, working within your frameworks, with your audiences and always to your deadlines.
Insight and strategy
We help councils define and articulate their brand when ‘place’ is contested or complex. Consultation frameworks, stakeholder engagement, brand audits and the strategic thinking that gets buy-in before a design pen goes anywhere near paper.
Brand identity
Civic brands that reflect the character of a place and the values of an administration, without feeling like corporate design. We’ve created identities for council services, public programmes and place brands that balance aspiration with approachability.
Graphic design
Reports, public consultations, service information, signage, social assets and everything in between. Designed to work across communities with different levels of literacy, language and digital access.
Campaigns and staff engagement
From local consultation to public health behaviour change to civic participation campaigns, we create work that reaches people where they are and respects the complexity of public audiences.
Illustration
Especially effective for community-facing communications where photography is logistically or representationally difficult. We create illustration that reflects the real diversity of local populations.
Websites
Public sector-compliant websites that genuinely serve residents. Accessible, easy to navigate and built to meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations. We design for the person who uses a council website at a moment of need, not the person presenting it to councillors.
Video and animation
Public information content, service explainers, consultation summaries and civic engagement films. Content designed for wide reach and easy understanding.
Spaces
Council buildings, civic centres, libraries, leisure facilities; the environments where local government meets the public carry real weight. We design wayfinding systems, signage, interior branding and large format graphics for public sector spaces, always with accessibility and community welcome at the centre.

Responsible design, built for the real world
Local government communications have never been under more pressure to do more with less. We work as an extension of your team, integrating with your processes and your stakeholders, so that the creative work lands well inside and outside the organisation.
