Branding  Corporate Identity & Brand Management


Beyond the creation of identities and corporate communications for a range of independent clients, CiD have worked successfully with other design agencies and architects as lead graphic design consultants to manage large national and international corporate identity roll-out programmes. Our creative concepts differentiate our clients from their competitors and through focused strategy, enhance the customer experience, build brand recognition and familiarity, and most importantly, improve commercial returns.

Print & Advertising


CiD has been involved in many award-winning above and below-the-line advertising campaigns, both here and abroad, and we have won the coveted D&AD yellow pencil for some of this work. But regardless of developments in digital media, over 50% of our business is print based and print remains an important aspect of our business offer. In addition to high-end property brochures, and coffee table books, we have been the preferred designers and production house for a number of high profile clients where we have been responsible for all marketing materials, guidebooks, leaflets, brochures, catalogues as well as a variety of above and below-the-line advertising campaigns for more than ten years. We continue to be the brand managers for the British Journal of Cardiology, Capricorn Financial, Chiswick House & Gardens and a number of other long-term clients providing both print, advertising and online requirements.

Exhibition Design


CiD have been commissioned to design a wide variety of exhibition projects from one-off stands and intricate exhibitions of jewellery, silverware, swords and sculpture, to large trade shows, marketing suites and travelling exhibitions. In all instances we have provided the accompanying marketing collateral and in many instances, we have created bespoke panel design or a large super-graphics when clients wish to ‘stand-out’ and make a big impression. We created all in-house exhibitions for the Wallace Collection for over ten years and have prepared exhibition and trade show graphics for a number of clients such as Fabergé, Elemis, Aurora International and Strutt & Parker. We continue to work for a number of clients who regularly come to us to design trade show stands, private art exhibitions or marketing suites as part of the project deliverables.

Signs & Environmental Graphics


Regularly, as part of the deliverables for Retail and Property Marketing projects, or as stand-alone projects CiD have been requested to create corporate, directional and wayfinding signage, exhibitions and large-scale graphics to communicate brand strategies, generate sales or to orientate and inform. The hoardings we have created for Northacre Plc have been recognised as works of art in their own right and milestones in their success, whilst our work for Chelsea Harbour and clients such as DWP (Jobcentre Plus) were both ground-breaking and award winning. Underpinning our creative ideas is our extensive understanding, experience and skilled project management and implementation capability.
