August has been a squirrel of activity! 🐿️

From a brand launch and paid advertising campaigns to social media, reports, flyers and even a trip to a farm, it’s been another busy month here at CreativeHutch.

Here are a few highlights from August ⤵️

➡️ We got everything ready for the launch of Gibby's , a fabulous new venue for delicious wine, cheese and charcuterie in the centre of Carlisle. After developing the positioning and messaging, we brought the brand to life across the signage, menus, social media, interior styling and those fabulous coasters! 🍷

➡️ We developed a new website landing page and Meta advertising campaign for Laidlaw Auctioneers to promote their series of free valuation days across Cumbria.

➡️ We also launched some new Meta and LinkedIn campaigns for Cumbria Accelerator, raising awareness of fully funded programmes and business support available across Cumbria.

➡️ Developed a suite of branded social media templates for our first Bootcamp mentee, ALB Design, following our work together on the messaging, positioning, brand and social media plan.

➡️ Took a trip to Hallsford Farm Produce and met a few of its residents along the way! 🐷

➡️ We continued our ongoing marketing support for Brathay Trust, creating new flyers to promote their people development programmes, designing their annual Trustee Report and supporting their social media.

➡️ Designed a new Primary Times advert for Razzamataz Theatre Schools.

A huge thank you to our brilliant clients for keeping us busy and, as always, to our amazing team for making it all happen 🙌

Here’s to September...back to school and finally some routine again 😃

Case Study Spotlight: Frilu Outdoor Living

Bringing three businesses together under one brand is no small task.

Frilu came to us looking for a fresh identity that would unite three existing businesses while creating something calm, premium and memorable for the outdoor living market.

Together we worked on:

🌿 Brand strategy
✏️ Naming
🎨 Visual identity
📣 Marketing rollout

The result?

A brand that launched with clarity and confidence, rolled out across signage, print, digital and events, with customers travelling from as far as Leeds to visit the new outdoor living destination.

Does your audience instantly understand why they should choose you?

Good messaging makes it clear:

✨ What you do
✨ Who it’s for
✨ Why you’re different
✨ What to do next

If people have to piece it together, they’re less likely to stick around.

Your messaging should make your business easy to understand, wherever people find you.

Can you measure the ROI of a good brand?

It’s not always as simple as looking at ad spend, clicks or leads and drawing a straight line from A to B.

But that doesn’t mean brand doesn’t have commercial impact.

In fact, McKinsey found that the most design focused companies in a five year study grew annual revenue by 10%, compared with 3 to 6% for average companies.

A strong brand creates clarity, and that clarity impacts everything:

Helps your team understand what they’re working towards

✅ Guides better business decisions
✅ Attracts the right people and opportunities
✅ Helps customers understand why they should choose you
✅ Makes your marketing stronger, clearer and more consistent

Brand ROI won’t always fit neatly into one little box. But when your brand is working properly, the impact can be felt across the whole business.

Case Study Spotlight: Eden & Border Vets- Eden 🐾

How do you create a brand that reflects the care your clients already know and trust?

Eden Vets partnered with us to evolve their brand, creating an identity that reflected not only their clinical expertise, but also the warmth, compassion and trust at the heart of their practice.

Together we worked on:

– Brand positioning & messaging
– Visual identity
– Tone of voice
– Brand rollout

The result was a warmer, more distinctive brand that better reflected the quality of care Eden Vets provides, creating a stronger emotional connection with clients while giving the team a clearer, more consistent brand to build on.

Six months. Real projects. A REAL impact!! 🙌

We recently said goodbye to our brilliant intern, Tom, after six months with the CreativeHutch team.

Through our partnership with Right2Work Learning, Tom got stuck into real client work, from creating illustrations for a Cumberland Council Jobs and Careers a project to developing artwork for his own brand, Crystal Mushroom Art, and exploring new branding concepts.

Tom brought so much creativity to the studio, and we hope he leaves with plenty of new skills for the future.

Thanks for everything Tom and thank you to Right2Work for making this collaboration possible.

Good luck with whatever comes next... we're sure you'll smash it! 🌟
