Last week we ran our AI and Canva Made Easy workshop, and here’s just some of the lovely feedback we received from participants. 🥰

It’s always great to hear that a session has got people thinking differently, given them plenty to put into action and helped them feel more confident about using AI and Canva in their business.

Thank you to everyone who came along and shared their thoughts. 🙌

AI can be a handy helper, but it can’t replace the people who know your business best.

The big takeaway? Start with your brand foundations, then use AI and Canva to create content that feels like you, so your audience recognises it, connects with it and doesn’t simply scroll past.

We’ll be running the workshop again, and we’re always happy to deliver it online or in person for businesses and teams.

If you're interested in joining us next time, let us know and message Vicky at [email protected].

AI can do a lot, but it still needs a human touch 👀

We recently caught up with Dave from who we’ve collaborated with on a brand activation for Takis, to chat all things IRL marketing and why real-world experiences still matter.

Because while AI can do plenty, there’s something special about bringing people together, creating memorable experiences and giving audiences something to actually get involved in.

The best results come from combining the right tools with real human creativity, connection and a bit of personality.

When was the last time a brand made you genuinely smile? 👀

We've recently been working with@iamimp on a fantastic Takis arcade experience touring universities across the UK. Seeing people having fun, connecting with friends and interacting with the brand is a brilliant reminder of the power of IRL marketing.

Your audience can scroll past a post. But can they scroll past an experience?

In a world of AI-generated content, algorithms and endless scrolling, getting your brand in front of people isn't always enough. You need to give them something worth remembering.

That's where IRL marketing comes in. From pop-ups and events to creative brand experiences, it's about taking your brand off the screen and into the real world, creating connections that go beyond a like or a follow.

And the best bit? You don't need a huge budget to make an impact. Sometimes, the little things can make the biggest impression. We're not saying ditch digital. We're saying give people something worth talking about, then let digital help spread the word. Because when people experience your brand for themselves, you're not just building awareness. You're building feelings, memories and relationships that last💡

Some rebrands are about much more than a new name and identity. This was definitely one of them 💚

We've spent most of this year working with the brilliant team at , formerly A Way Out, helping them define who they are today and where they want to go next.

Through workshops with trustees, staff and people who have experienced the charity's programmes, we explored everything from their purpose and values to their messaging, naming and visual identity.

One of the most powerful things to come out of the process was the idea of holding hope for someone until they're ready to hold it for themselves.

And that thinking helped shape the new brand: Creating Safety. Building Trust. Holding Hope.

The name Alongside felt so right because it's exactly what the team does. They walk alongside people, offering the support, tools and confidence to help them make their own choices and move forward.

It's been a really special project to be part of, and a lovely reminder of why we believe good branding always starts with listening and understanding.

We've shared the journey, the thinking and the creative work behind the transformation in our latest case study: https://www.creativehutch.com/our-work/charity-rebranding-alongside/

One team. One vision. A whole lot less juggling 👀

Working with a full-service agency means all the moving parts of your marketing work together, from strategy and branding to design, content and campaigns.

No chasing different suppliers, no crossed wires and no paying twice for work that doesn’t connect. Just a team that knows your business, keeps everything consistent and helps you make your budget work harder.

And the best bit? We grow with you, giving you the support you need as your business evolves 💡

Christmas is on the horizon, and we’ve been busy bringing the festive feeling to Savona’s latest brochure 🎄✨

From showcasing seasonal favourites to capturing the magic of the festive menu, the goal was to create a brochure that feels inviting, looks beautiful and gets people excited about what’s to come.

Because great design isn’t just about looking good. It’s about bringing a brand to life and giving customers something to look forward to.

🐑 If your brand looks like everyone else’s, why should anyone remember it?

Same colours. Same fonts. Same safe choices. And suddenly, even a great brand gets lost in the herd.

At CreativHutch, we believe branding should do more than help you fit in. It should make people stop, look twice and recognise you before they’ve even read your name.

Stop following the herd. Start setting the standard 💥

Ready to build a brand that looks like nobody else? Let’s talk.

What makes a client relationship really special? When they tell you they’ve felt listened to, supported and genuinely excited about the work 💛

That’s exactly what Liam & Gemma at Irvings Estate Agents had to say about working with us.

From their rebrand and new website to their ongoing marketing, the team were “always incredibly accommodating, full of fresh ideas and great suggestions”, while taking the time to properly understand what Irvings wanted to achieve.

And the end result?

They were “absolutely delighted” with the finished brand and said they “wouldn’t hesitate to recommend” us.

That’s exactly what we hope for when we work with a client: not just a brand they like, but one they feel genuinely proud to put their name to.

Thanks Liam & Gemma. It’s been a pleasure 💛
