Since 1673 Chelsea Physic Garden (CPG) has occupied four acres of land in SW3 on the edge of the river Thames. Established by the Apothecaries in order to grow medicinal plants, this extraordinary London garden has had wide reaching impact around the world and we are immensely proud and honoured to be working with CPG. At first, we were brought on board for a fundraising push leading up to the 350-year anniversary, since then we have become involved in a range of diverse marketing projects including the redesign of some of the print collateral, the Annual Review, on and offline fundraising initiatives and the website.

The Lochnagar Crater was created by a large mine placed beneath the German front lines on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, it was one of 19 mines that were placed beneath the German lines by allied regiments to assist the infantry advance at the start of the battle. The crater has been preserved as a memorial to the men and women of all nations who suffered in the Great War and is maintained through charitable donations and the dedicated work of volunteers. Richard Dunning, the owner of the site, commissioned CiD to create a new, modern identity symbolising the poppy, the memorial cross and the explosion that caused the crater, and a new website, to better resonate the purpose of preserving the site for further generations.

CiD have worked with Chiswick House & Gardens since 2015. Our first creative input was to redesign the website and we have now become the brand custodians involved in every facet of the marketing collateral to improve the visitor experience, including recommending sign systems throughout the estate and the gardens. During the early stages of the COVID 19 pandemic we were working pro bono on various advertising campaigns, posters and website fundraising initiatives, to support the in-house team. More recently, working with Thomas Matthews, we have refreshed the look and feel of the website.

Hatfield House is a grand country estate built by Robert Cecil, first Earl of Salisbury and son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister for Elizabeth I. It was whilst living here that Elizabeth learnt of her accession to the throne of England. As a result of our work with the Wallace Collection, CiD were invited to design and create a robust CMS based website, featuring large images and a focused, user-friendly site structure for Hatfield House. The site refresh incorporated new initiatives underway at Hatfield House for its 400th anniversary and expansion of the facilities and event services to include the family farm, a retail park, and an adventure playground.

The Wallace Collection is home to one of Europe’s finest collections of works of art, paintings, furniture, arms & armour, and porcelain. It is an exceptional National Museum with dedicated, specialist employees providing a wonderful visitor experience. We are exceedingly proud to have worked and developed a wide range of initiatives for the Wallace collection over a period of ten years up until 2015 – including design, art-direction, project management and production services for all exhibitions; external and internal signage systems; hoardings – both internal and external; shop ticketing and signage; café promotions and print; cloakroom tickets and numbering systems; event invites and menus; posters; logos; leaflets; exhibition books, guidebooks and catalogues; press and London Underground advertising; donation boxes; gallery signs and directories; promotions; digital displays and of course the full website including kids’ education programmes – the list is extensive and has provided us with prodigious knowledge of the museum environment.
