How we help

You don’t need to arrive with the perfect brief. Sometimes you know something needs to improve, but you’re not sure what the right solution is yet.

We help you work out what matters, then bring strategy, storytelling and design together across video, animation, web design, AI, photography, branding and illustration, without the layers of a large agency.

Video Production, Animation & Editing

Need professional video but not sure what to say, what to film or where to start?

We help shape the story before we pick up the camera, then plan, film and edit content for websites, campaigns, training, events and social media. Animation and motion graphics can help explain the things that are difficult to show on camera.

Graphic Design & Illustration

Good information can still get ignored when the design makes it difficult to understand.

We turn ideas, content and complex information into clear visual communication across campaigns, publications, digital content and custom illustration — working within your existing brand or helping strengthen it where needed.

Digital Strategy, Website Design & AI

Too many digital priorities, tools and AI possibilities, and not enough clarity about what is actually worth doing?

We help organisations step back, understand what is working and decide where to focus next. From websites and digital strategy to practical AI adoption and automation, the goal is useful improvements rather than more technology for technology’s sake.

Brand identity

If your organisation looks different every time it communicates, it becomes harder for people to recognise and trust it.

We create practical brand identities and guidelines that give your team a clear visual foundation across websites, video, social media, presentations and print — making consistency easier rather than creating a brand guide that sits on a shelf.

Photography

Still relying on stock photos, old team shots or whatever happens to be available?

We create professional photography libraries for websites, campaigns, teams, products and events. Photography can also be captured alongside video production, giving you a useful bank of consistent content from one shoot.

Yummy Book Covers - Book design

A good book can still be overlooked if the cover doesn’t communicate the genre and quality at a glance.

Through our specialist Yummy Book Covers team, we create custom and premade covers, illustration and promotional assets for authors and publishers. Our work has supported hundreds of authors and successful book launches in more than 25 countries. 

See how we solve different kinds of creative problems

Our team brings decades of experience across design, video and digital work.

Every project starts somewhere different: sometimes there’s a clear brief, sometimes there’s only a problem that needs solving. Our portfolio shows some of the different ways we’ve helped organisations turn ideas, information and stories into useful creative work.

Our hive

We’re Beks, Enni, Bidhan and Sami. Despite our incredible youthfulness, we’ve all been working within the creative sector for two decades and met when working together in an in-house design & digital team in the mental health and wellbeing sector.

Enni is also an author and illustrator and we do quite a bit of book cover design, mostly for overseas authors. Visit Yummy Book Covers to check out our book design work.

Say goodbye to quoting!

Grow and strengthen your brand long-term with Bee VIP – our subscription service.

Bee VIP is designed for small and medium-sized organisations looking for a true partnership to take their brand to the next level.

With pre-booked hours, all you need to do is email us and we’ll get to work.

The time saved with the Bee VIP model is a game-changer. If we were going through the whole briefing and quoting process for every piece of work, we’d never get anything done. The retainer model has allowed us to discuss the big picture, set priorities, and just get on with it.
