Welcome to Design Pit

We are an award winning creative agency building credibility with powerful design, driven by a Return On Imagination. We help our clients to talk with clarity and confidence when they take themselves to market; we do this through a carefully considered approach to creative graphic design and media services.

As designers, it is important to question the obvious and explore ideas in great depth. Understanding the question in the brief is the only way to answer it correctly. We don’t just do what we are told, we ask questions that start with words like why, who and what. When we discover a design solution, we strip back the clutter and only use what we need to get the message across. We won’t baffle clients with jargon either, we’ll just say it as it is; and if something isn’t quite right or isn’t working then we’ll say so and provide an alternative route to a solution.

We engage clients throughout the design process

We ask questions and challenge opinions

We push ideas further to achieve the best result

We avoid over complicating things and marketing buzzwords

We apply creativity with a realistic approach

We practice safe design and always use a concept

So what makes us different and WHY do our clients like our approach?

Our clients are involved, engaged and included in key design decisions along the way. If they want to pop in and talk things through, they’re more than welcome or if they need to do things quickly and communicate on email, no worries. We are as flexible as we can be to help projects run as smoothly as possible. But don’t take our word for it, hear some of the nice things that people have said about working with us here…

“We engaged the Design Pit to develop the initial branding and logo for a new business venture. The development was at a very early stage and the brief for them was limited to a name, a couple of preferred colours and an understanding of what the new business venture was.”

Andy Dyson, Managing Director, Sapentia

“Design Pit have worked on a number of projects for me at Ipsen. All have been delivered to a very high level and on time; even when I’ve been quite demanding and last minute! No job is too big or small which is great as we go to Design Pit for a real mix of projects.”

Sally Hodgson, Commercial and Oncology Director, Ipsen Ltd

“The mandate was to deliver a fully populated website ready for compliance checking in a very tight timeframe. You achieved that deadline despite the extreme time pressure, responding to multiple feedback and commentary from myself and colleagues, with grace and professionalism. Well done Design Pit!”

David King, Director, Westmount Energy Ltd

“Design Pit are the exception not the norm. Most creative bods struggle with organisation and professionalism… not Design Pit! They have the rare ability to absorb themselves in your business so they not only understand what you are trying to achieve…”
