We do three things: create new brands, rejuvenate tired brands and design special branding projects. We get under the skin of the organisations we work with to discover what is true and what is differentiating. We boil it down to its simplest form and then communicate it brilliantly. We are proud of the difference we have achieved to our clients' businesses and of the many awards we have won for them. We can do it for you too.

About us

What’s next?

We're always asking the question 'What's next?' when it comes to the brands we work with. How can we develop your brand so it is relevant and engaging? How can we keep it fresh and innovative over long periods of time? How can your brand adapt and change as outside influences and customer needs force your company to develop?

What we're very good at is turning brands on their heads to communicate powerfully and confidently with their audiences. We don't do this just because that's the thing to do, we do it only when it's right for the project, client and the audiences. Brands by their definition are about being different. So we're constantly looking for ways to define and communicate that difference, simply and brilliantly.

In our time, we've branded countries, cities, global companies, local companies, theatres, charities and think-tanks. We've worked in most markets around the world and across most sectors. We focus our efforts on the twin areas of creating new brands and rejuvenating tired brands.

We follow the branding process from the beginning to the end, from defining your big idea through to designing the finest details. It means we can ensure success every step of the way.

Quotes about R&D&Co

It’s fantastic. I’m exceedingly happy. R&D&Co have managed to hang on to the tradition in a modern way and produced something with a feel that does not seem at all temporary.”

Kevin Spacey, The Old Vic Artistic Director

 

“R&D&Co are highly skilled designers, responsible, diligent and efficient. They have always delivered high quality work on time and on budget. They are excellent people to work with.

Sir John Sorrell, Chairman, The Sorrell Foundation, London Design Festival and CABE Commissioners

 

“Working with R&D&Co was about far more than a new look. It helped us to explore what the Institute is as we enter our seventh decade and how we can communicate that to our clients and partners. We are a more confident organisation as a result – a bold organisation dealing with complex issues, with a brand that reflects that.”

Phil Swann, Director, The Tavistock Institute
