Graphic Design

Graphic Design is an area that all businesses require and where many businesses make costly mistakes. How do you know your graphic designer knows what they are doing? Many 'graphic design' companies may appear to be professional but will actually hand over your job to students and graduates to work on. Activate Design have real professionals who know what they are doing. We stand by our guarantee that if you do not like our design work you will not be asked to pay for it. We have many years of working with clients and know that everyone has different design tastes. We will work with you to develop the right look on the right product quickly and accurately.

Your brand defines you as a business and says more about you than you think.

Activate Design is renowned for creating stunning brands for businesses across all sectors.

Marketing & Advertising

Activate Design has a strong background in providing marketing and advertising support for small to medium size businesses. Activate is proud to be the marketing team behind The Twisted Hop - Awarded Best Bar at the 2005 Hospitality Awards. Our head designer worked for years in the advertising industry and has worked on nationwide campaigns. Unlike traditional advertising agencies we don't charge ridiculous amounts for generic marketing advice. Often the bigger the advertising agency - the bigger the ego and the bigger the invoice! We are a small team of creatives who have produced enough marketing material over the years to know what works and what does not and we are more than happy to share our knowledge with our clients.

Photography

Our designers are experienced in photography and provide this as one of our services. We found that many clients needed product, portrait or building shots taken asap and without time to bring in third party photographers we end up doing it ourselves. We use the latest digital cameras with professional lens equipment and provide professional post-production techniques to get your images looking amazing before that third party photographer has even returned your phone call!
