Dependable collaborators

Transformational branding is an infrequent activity in the lifecycle of most organisations. It requires a considerable investment of time and resources, and it can be a challenging journey. You need to have faith in the experience and ability of your collaborators.

We have worked with many clients repeatedly over the years, the nature of our projects changing as their businesses grow and develop. With over a century of award-winning collective experience, working with organisations from start-ups to multi-nationals, across a wide variety of business sectors, we know that trust must be earned, not demanded.

Developing
Deliberately
Different
Brands

01
Discovery

Interviews, questionnaires, workshops, research. Before we do anything else, we get to know your business inside out. We scrutinise using the three lenses of your people, your customers and your competition. This knowledge provides the robust foundation for all future activity.

02
Direction

Then we analyse what we’ve found, looking for those golden nuggets of information and insight that will provide a clear direction moving forward. Then we’ll articulate our thoughts as a coherent brand platform or plan of action so you can see how your unique story fits together.

03
Design

Next, based on our background knowledge and strategic insight, we start exploring the creative possibilities and potential of your brand. Evolution or revolution? Should you adopt your sector’s accepted visual vernacular, or do you take a more challenging stance? Let’s find out.

04
Development

With your critical input and feedback, we start turning initial ideas into creative gold, refining them into a visual and verbal representation of your brand that is authentic to itself, engaging and relevant to your target audiences and clearly differentiated from your competition.

05
Delivery

Once you have approved a final route, we’ll create all the digital artwork assets required to start rolling out your brand. We’ll also put together a brand guidelines document, so you can share the inspiration and help to manage consistent application of your identity.

06
Deployment

Finally, we can provide brand guidance and training for your external agencies or in-house teams. We can also help you create internal and external launch collateral for all your impactful touchpoints on screen, on paper and on location. And, we can act as on-going brand guardians.

Our manifesto

We are here to empower ambitious businesses to confidently challenge their status quo with a brand that has lasting impact.

We harness our open-minded curiosity to explore new possibilities, spark creativity and inspire big ideas.

We remain mindful. We care about our clients, their businesses, and their stakeholders. We listen intently and are empathetic to their issues, challenges, and opportunities. We are collaborators at heart and are personally invested in their success.

We approach every project with committed enthusiasm. We’re hands-on and dedicated to delivering surprise and delight.

We acknowledge the importance of a healthy recharge. It is essential to unplug, unwind and do something different. Rested bodies and energised minds lead to great ideas.

Happy to stand up and be counted

We know that supply chains are under increasing scrutiny so businesses can achieve their ESG goals. So, we’ve taken measures to ensure that working with us means your environmental conscience can stay clear.

We are proud that Liven Creative is a Certified B Corp, part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. We share the belief that business can be a force for good and that profit can be balanced with purpose, benefitting all stakeholders, communities, and the planet. We also actively participate in forest planting and renewable energy funding through the Ecologi initiative. So far, our contributions have planted 2800+ trees, contributed to solar, wind, biomass and waste energy projects and avoided 117.43 tonnes of CO2. As a business, we also offset our carbon emissions, and our carbon neutrality is certified by Carbon Footprint Ltd.
