Working with Vivid Creative and Gerry has been an absolute pleasure. To help sustain and grow our charitable work, we deliver team development and leadership programmes to commercial businesses.

We wanted to completely revamp our old sustainability brochure, and tasked Vivid to create a new strategy document from scratch. Vivid perfectly captured our brand’s vision and turned our long-complicated text and statistics into a stunning, visual, easy to follow document. We’ve received fantastic feedback from our customers, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result!

I have worked with Gerry and the Vivid team for over 20 years and would recommend them to businesses who want to elevate their brand and drive growth. They are creative and commercial in a very balanced way. They know when the project needs greater creative flare and know when to really focus on ROI. From a Bridgedale repositioning to Rohan retained campaign work and Cycle King digital marketing, the Vivid have always delivered.

Had the most amazing experience working with Vivid as our marketing agency during my tenure as CEO of Metallix Refining. They are able to interpret and showcase your brand on a creative, engaging and innovative way. Would not hesitate engaging them over and over again.

I have been working with Vivid for over 18 months now. I sat with Gerry and his team to create our branding and website from the outset of my AI startup. Having a marketing background myself I knew how hard it was to find a company that actually listens and interprets your needs. Well I found them. Vivid Media. Branding helps create not just an image of a company but sets out what journey for that company if it’s done right.

The highest quality marketing agency. Creative, knowledgeable, confident in taking you in the direction you need to go, deliver results that can drive your company forward as they have done with mine. Highly recommended to anyone looking to take their marketing to the next level, or starting from scratch - either to use Vivid as a sole external source or to work along side an existing marketing team.

From campaign support through to delivery, the Vivid team always brought fresh ideas, strong strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes.

Creative Design Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is creative design in branding?

    Creative design is the process of translating a brand strategy into visual and experiential ideas that people notice and remember. It combines design thinking, storytelling, imagery, typography, motion and creative execution to communicate a message in a way that feels distinctive and relevant.

  • What does a creative design agency do?

    A creative design agency develops ideas, campaigns and visual assets that help brands communicate more effectively. This can include graphic design, campaign concepts, print design, digital content, animation, video production and creative direction across multiple channels.

  • How is creative design different from graphic design?

    Graphic design is often focused on producing visual assets, whereas creative design starts with an idea and considers the wider experience. It brings together strategy, messaging, design and execution to solve problems, influence behaviour and create stronger brand connections.

  • Why are creative concepts important in marketing?

    Strong creative concepts give campaigns a clear direction and purpose. Rather than producing content for the sake of it, a central idea helps ensure every touchpoint works together, making communications more memorable and more effective.

  • What types of creative design projects can an agency deliver?

    Creative design projects can range from brand campaigns, brochures and exhibitions to social media content, advertising, packaging, video production and animation. The right solution depends on the audience, objectives and channels involved.

  • How does creative design support brand strategy?

    Creative design brings strategy to life. Once a brand’s positioning, personality and direction have been defined, creative design provides the visual and verbal expression that allows audiences to experience the brand consistently across every touchpoint.

  • Why is consistency important in creative design?

    Consistency helps people recognise and understand a brand more quickly. When visual styles, messaging and creative assets work together across different platforms, the brand feels more coherent, professional and credible.

  • When should a business invest in creative design services?

    Businesses often invest in creative design when launching a new product, refreshing a brand, entering a new market, running a campaign or looking to improve how they communicate with customers. Creative design is most effective when there is a clear objective behind the work.

  • How can video and animation improve communication?

    Video and animation can simplify complex information and make it easier to understand. They are particularly effective for explaining products, demonstrating services, communicating change and creating engaging content across digital and social channels.

  • What makes creative design effective?

    Effective creative design balances originality with purpose. It captures attention, communicates clearly and supports a specific business objective. The most successful work is not simply visually appealing; it helps achieve measurable outcomes while remaining true to the brand.
