We founded this company to collaborate with great people, make work that matters, and have meaningful creative adventures. When we opened our doors in 2004, our aim was to provide clients with a strong creative partnership capable of adding value and impact. The world has changed so much, yet our intention remains as strong as ever.
There have been days when we didn’t think we’d get this far, and days when we achieved much more than we ever believed possible. We are proud to be celebrating 20 years of creative partnerships. 20 years of collaborating, caring, crafting. And creating. Have a look at how we’ve spent the last two decades.
Detail was founded in 2004 to provide clients of all shapes, sectors and sizes with a trusted design partner. We are people who like working with people, so every client becomes a partner, every project is a creative relationship. From one-person start-ups to multinationals, we have collaborated with hundreds of clients since 2004, making work that is fresh, engaging and impactful. To us, long-standing, trusting relationships add value and impact and make the work even better.
Is the idea big enough? Could it be bigger or better? Problem-solving, creative thinking, developing great ideas and making them work has always been at the heart of what we do. Research and insight, workshops, positioning, brand systems, content strategy, verbal and visual identity…you name it, we’ve done it. Markets, media and audiences change, so how ideas are crafted and delivered evolves too. But our commitment to clear-sighted, purposeful and imaginative creative strategy remains the same.
Do you know who you are? Who you really are? Chances are, we do. Our studio began with identity projects, working with clients to help them identify and communicate their unique who, why, what and how. And as they learned, so did we. We deliver identity systems, typography, digital and website design, social, animation, presentation design and editorial. Our expertise and insight continue to inform identity projects, large and small. We get you, we’ve got you.
Sometimes you’ve got to put yourself out there. We did. Early in our twenty-year history, clients approached us with projects that needed to flex beyond print and screen. We were commissioned to work on new brand experience environment projects. Placemaking, orientation, wayfinding, exhibition design, architectural systems signage, universal design…by now, we’ve done the lot. You know where you are with Detail.
Creating with creative creatives. That’s us. Paul and Brian set up Detail in 2004 with a core team, and it’s been a team effort ever since. We’re proud to have worked with so many talented people over the years. We have a great crew in the studio and have forged relationships with top photographers, writers, animators, insight specialists, illustrators, developers/programmers and media buyers. When we co-founded Threex3, it was to get a new generation of young designers established in the industry. Seeing their progress and how many went on to become core members of the Detail team makes us very proud.
That’s the story so far, two decades of great creative partnerships. Now let’s talk about you? Get in touch to chat about working together on your next creative challenge.
