what we do

A graphic design studio and brand consultancy, established with your needs in mind, here’s what we do best:

brand

Your brand is the World’s window into your business. Our experienced consultants and designers will do everything we can to ensure that you differentiate yourself from the crowded market place.

Our specialty is layering your identity so that all your collateral sings out with one voice.

We work to understand your business, your competitive environment and your communication processes, so that your identity is woven into all elements of your communication, and into every working day.

print and information design

Whether you need a marketing piece, a complex annual report, a map or instruction manual, our talented and experienced graphic designers will ensure that your collateral looks great, every time. Our collaborative, open approach ensures the process is smooth and if there are ever problems you know about them first.

Either use our team of trusted vendors/suppliers, or arrange your own production. It’s completely transparent and up to you.

web development

If content is king, then accessibility is queen. We develop all our sites with a passion for user-centric design, well considered information architecture, and compliance to the latest standards. We then let those principles and your brand inform our design choices. The results speak for themselves.

We empower all our clients by encouraging them to purchase their own hosting (with our guidance if necessary), and applying a CMS to most sites.

social and email

With the exponential rise in social media reach in the last decade, Leap supports clients in a number of ways. Whether it is a new creative campaign you need, assistance setting up your social media pages, advice on what channels and tools are best for you, or even reputation management, we’re here to help.

why leap

leap in the community

Despite being a relatively small business, Leap regards our social responsibility as not only an investment in our society but also our own future.

We actively contribute in a number of ways:

Leap in the Community

local community:

We donate unused/unwanted materials to local schools wherever appropriate. For example, after a recent event, we donated over 30 linear metres of brightly coloured fabrics and chiffon to a local school. On another occasion we hand cut 12 oversized vinyl prints of animals and children and delivered them to a local nursery.

wider society:

The directors donate to a registered charity every year. In recent years we have also materially supported a range of charities including:

  • Sea Shepherd - donated design prize money
  • Children in Need - prepared original illustrations for raffle winner
  • Disability Rights UK - developed print ad campaign and range of other materials
  • Fairfield Hospice - prepared fundraising events materials

Wherever possible, we also undertake a small amount pro-bono work on behalf of registered charities or community projects. 

the environment:

We maintain ethical behaviour and have produced policies to reduce our impact on the environment:

  • recycling where-ever possible
  • working in virtual teams and reducing travel as much as we can
  • using online/electronic proofing and sharing of documents
  • reusing materials or repurposing them
  • recommending recycled or fsc approved papers where necessary, and
  • reducing use of impactful print processes
