fresh ideas, great coffee

It's a pity you weren't here yesterday!
We’re a small group of unpretentious, straight-talking graphic/web designers who enjoy building “brand spaces” that everyone can enjoy
As is good design
A brand message is only as good as it’s content. We focus on helping our clients distil their message.
Because it needs it!
Are you really happy with your website – Seriously? If you are, you’re probably deluded!
It represents your brand
We design nice, clean fresh and attractive logos and brand collateral – to make you proud!
Because we don’t spend any energy on SEO, you’ve either been referred or have more through luck than judgement arrived at our domain.
I’d be interested to know how you found us!
Anyhow, If you are in the market for a company to design, refresh, polish, update, socialise your brand, you might be in luck, because that’s what we do!
My name is Simon and I, along with a core group of good designers, help clients who need to create or refresh their brands. Luckily for us there’s loads of work out there so we can concentrate on working, rather than looking for work!
To be honest, I’m not sure. I guess we’re quite proactive (awful word) we usually hit the ground running and we’re not afraid to question our clients about their motives. Oftentimes clients/prospects will use us to sense check ideas, apparently they appreciate honesty and a fresh pair of eyes. Either way we’re delighted to do what we do, we often enjoy our work and we serve very good coffee – if you like it strong!

We don’t stand on ceremony, so if you’re looking for suits and boots, we won’t be your cup of tea (which is a builders brew incidentally).
The goal of any business is to attract and maintain the attention of their audience. This is what we can help you do!
Marketing isn’t rocket science! It is simply a case of understanding what your customers want and building a brand that gives it to them. Sometimes however, businesses are so close to the coal-face that they find it difficult to step away and think about their client’s needs.
Side A is a business that looks at ideas and concepts that help businesses communicate better with their audience. Whoever they are, they will have attention triggers, things either visual or verbal that make them sit-up and pay attention. What we do is work with our clients to help them isolate these and make them consistent across their entire communication portfolio.
We can help within four distinct marketing areas:
We are different from the usual run-of-the-mill marketing companies, in that we help with the strategy and content of the campaign, tactic that you are planning and then we help you select the right freelancer/organisation to deliver it (trust me, this saves you lots of money!).

I was delighted with the concepts and whole approach that Side A came up with and I can throughly recommend them to everyone who wants to develop or grow a business with a professional tailored approach.
Here's some we made earlier
The world according to Side A
Doing myself out of work… Again! In my recent web 2.0 perusing I found a cool “build your own” website set-up called Centrally. All you early learners will already have logged and blogged this months ago, but it’s worth a mention. This weekend I was at a 40th birthday party… Usual conversation: So what do [...]

I’m clearly not clever enough to be regarded as an expert in this field, but I am asked often enough that I felt it important to have a position on it!
Continue readingDeveloping a value proposition is based on a review and analysis of the benefits, costs and value that an organization can deliver to its customers, prospective customers, and other constituent groups within and outside the organization. It is also a positioning of value, where Value = Benefits – Cost (cost includes risk)

You’ll find Simon in a portakabin just off the M40. Or at the Churchill Arms in Long Crendon, but send me a message, write me a letter or just give me a shout.
