Marketing agency in Dorset.

Branding, websites and digital marketing for Dorset businesses. From our Sherborne studio, we work on design, content and campaigns, whether you need one project or ongoing support.

Our studio
in Sherborne.

We’re a creative and marketing agency based on South Street in Sherborne. Bring us one focused brief or choose ongoing support. You work directly with the people shaping your brand, website, content and campaigns.

Branding, websites
and marketing.

Website design
& online shops

A new website or a better version of the one you have. We design and build on Webflow and Shopify, with clear journeys, responsive layouts and a sound structure for search. From a campaign landing page to a full online shop.

Branding
& identity

Make your business recognisable and your offer easier to understand. Logos, visual identities, packaging, print and illustration — for a new venture, or an established brand that’s ready to look and feel more like itself.

SEO
& user experience

Help the right people find you, then make their visit worthwhile. We work on technical SEO, local search, website structure and usability, including improvements to existing sites. Clear business information and useful content are part of the foundations.

Paid advertising

Google Ads and Meta campaigns built around what you want to achieve. We bring together campaign planning, creative, targeting and ongoing optimisation — and consider the landing page alongside the advert, so the journey makes sense.

Social, photography
& video

Show people what makes your business yours. We combine social planning and content creation with in-house photography and video: products, people, places and the stories behind them. One shoot, a campaign or regular support.

Projects for
Dorset businesses.

A specialist supplier and a local event need different things from their marketing. Here are two examples of how we brought the right pieces together.

Sherborne Castle
Country Fair

For this volunteer-run event at Sherborne Castle, we created a website, developed social content and designed an illustrated visitor map within a wider brand refresh. The brief brought event information and visual identity together across the website and materials used at the fair.

Rose of Jericho

For the traditional paints and lime mortars specialist in Holywell, Dorset, we developed a website around the needs of trade and specialist audiences. The work combined navigation, messaging and visual design, giving technical information a clear place within the customer journey.

How we work
with you.

We review the work you already have and agree what needs updating, adding or replacing.

That might be a focused project or a longer partnership. Either way, you’ll have direct contact with the team doing the work.

  1. Discuss the brief.

    Tell us about your business, your goals and anything you’d like to change. A clear brief can grow out of that conversation.

  2. Agree a plan and a price.

    We shape the scope around your priorities, budget and timing. You’ll know what’s included before we begin.

  3. Create and review the work.

    We keep you involved as the work takes shape, with clear communication and practical next steps for launch, handover or ongoing support.

Project prices
and monthly support.

Explore broad price ranges for project work and monthly support in our interactive guide. Then we’ll shape a bespoke quote around the work you actually need.

Your budget doesn’t have to fit a preset package. Tell us what you have in mind and we can discuss the priorities together.

Questions about
working with us.

Let’s talk
Is this just for new businesses?

Not at all. We work with new ventures and established businesses that want a refresh, a stronger website, more consistent marketing or a new direction. We can build on what you already have.

Should we start with a website, branding or ongoing marketing?

Start with what you want to change. We can review your existing brand, website and marketing before recommending the first step. That may be one focused project or regular support; you can choose a single service without taking on a full package.

Can you improve our existing website or brand?

Yes. We can review what you have and discuss whether focused improvements or a wider update would be more useful. The right approach depends on your goals and the condition of the existing work.

How much does marketing support in Dorset cost?

The cost depends on the services, scope and level of support. Our website, branding and marketing price guide gives broad indications with VAT included. Your proposal confirms the work and fee, with advertising spend, hosting, apps or external production identified separately where they apply.

Can we combine a project with ongoing support?

Absolutely. A website or brand project can sit alongside regular content, SEO, advertising or wider marketing support. We’ll agree the mix around your priorities, with advertising spend and any other external costs made clear in the proposal.

Can we work with you if we are outside Sherborne?

Yes. We work across Dorset and Somerset, and remotely with businesses elsewhere in the UK. Tell us your location and what you need; we can discuss whether online conversations, a studio meeting or work on location would be most useful.

How do we get started?

Send us a short outline of your business and what you’d like to achieve. Include a budget or timing if you have one. We’ll talk it through before putting a proposal together.
