A little about us

What we doIn a world full of information overload, you have to shout to stand out. But being loud isn’t about using bright colours and bold typefaces. It is about making an impact and a difference – having a clear vision that is communicated effectively using timeless design, and developing a memorable personality. We create bespoke, intelligent solutions for our clients, positioning brands with clarity and impact through a mix of technology, culture, experiences, innovation and design.

Who we areFounded by school friends Paul and Edward in 2011, Forecast Design was born through the mutual passion of wanting to help brands find their purpose and voice in a crowded world. With creative hubs in London and Suffolk, we ensure a hands-on creative process that keeps our clients in touch with the key creatives who shape their projects. After all, strength comes in the calibre of creatives and clients, not the number of staff.


Why use usOur structure is simple yet unique. We’re a design studio where the founders of the business are the creators of the work, who also serve as the primary contacts for every client. This is reflected in our ethos that great design is the built from passion, intelligence and, above all, commitment.

We set up Forecast Design having both spent many years working at international agencies. Dealing with global brands has given us a wealth of experience, which we can now offer to our clients at a fraction of big agency prices. It has also provided us with a platform to build a network of creative and strategic thinkers from every conceivable marketing background - ready to be tapped into should the need arise.


We believe getting the right information at the start of any project is crucial.

We do this by facilitating an open and meaningful conversation, to help us

truly understand exactly what it is we want to achieve together.

Discuss

We pride ourselves on the fact that you will always work with the founders of our business. We realise that it is real

collaboration that breeds true success - so following on from our initial chats, we will

unlock the unique value of your brand.

Unlock

Whether it’s a total rebrand, a responsive website or an annual report, we dive into our boxes of skills and expertise to provide a compelling solution to

your brief that will liberate the untold potential of your brand.

Create

While other agencies may think ‘job done’, we pride ourselves on keeping

the close relationships we’ve built. We understand that a true partner is hard to

come by, so will continue to support your brand whenever and wherever needed.

Case studies


Project In-House Brand Story

Services Animation 3D

Forecast Design was established in 2011 on a foundation of ‘around the clock’ dedication to help brands find their voice in a crowded market. Our founders, Paul and Edward, started Forecast whilst still holding down full-time jobs at international design agencies in London. By investing every spare moment into building the business, they quickly developed a reputation for delivering inspiring solutions for their clients. These early years provided a platform which gave clients a unique opportunity to access a wealth of global brand experience for small agency fees!

“We have now flourished into an integrated agency boasting a wealth of experience, a diverse team of creatives and an impressive client folio. But we haven’t forgotten where it all began – and so wanted to pay homage to those early years by celebrating exactly how we started out.”

- Paul Farthing | Forecast Design co-owner

Client Taste Me Mama Chilli Sauce

Services Brand Identity Packaging Illustration

Taste Me Mama is a new-to-market range of Ghanaian chilli sauces. We were briefed to create a story-telling identity for this new and unique brand of table sauces that are made to an old recipe, passed down through generations of a Ghanaian family. Our biggest challenge was to ensure maximum stand-out in an already saturated section of the supermarket. This would be key to encouraging consumers to break their behavioural habits and purchase something new and different.

“You guys really nailed creating our brand - your ideas unlocked and inspired us about what was possible.”

Client Aesthetiks Sports Clothing

Services Brand Identity Digital UX Print

We created the brand identity for Aesthetiks, a start-up sportswear company, who wanted to position themselves as a viable alternative to the global brands monopolising the industry. The Aesthetiks identity has now been implemented across many touchpoints – testament to its versatility – and can now be seen on everything from the clothing itself to bags, labels, stationery and advertising. The ecommerce app has also been successfully launched and is already seeing positive results. So, all in all, the brand would seem to be in very good shape!

“Forecast Design have brought our vision to life, creating a sports brand that’ll bring much needed disruption to a market that’s been dominated by only a handful of major players for too long.”

- Joe Leckie | Aesthetiks Sports Clothing CEO

Client Calgoz Distribution

Services Brand Identity Implementation

Calgoz are a start-up distribution company, shipping raw materials around the globe through the world’s largest ports. The brief was to create a strong, relevant brand identity that would highlight the global nature of their network, whilst being adaptable enough to evolve into individual identities for each of their three main regional divisions. To achieve this, we needed first to create an overarching look and feel for the brand and, from this, to then develop the subdivision offshoots.

Client The Nuttery Buttery Co.

Services Brand Identity Packaging Illustration

Following on from the success of our Taste Me Mama packaging, we won a pitch to work with another ambitious start-up: this time for a range of nut butter spreads aimed primarily at children. Handmade by two mums who – having searched for a healthy alternative to the mass produced nut butters on the market and found none – decided to create their own. Their homemade creations were such a hit with their daughters that they decided to spread the joy further and produce a range of nut butters that other parents can give to their own cheeky monkeys!

“Quite simply, we could not be happier with the packaging, launch campaign and brand as a whole! We cannot recommend Forecast enough.”

From the formal and corporate identity of a crematorium, to the friendly needs of a kids nut butter, we’ve understood each brand and tailored our approach to suit their individual needs.

“Forecast Design were fantastic in taking my rough concepts and turning them into the finished, final product. Their design ideas were of a very high standard and that of which you would expect from any of London’s top design agencies. We will definitely be using them again.”
