About

JMW Solicitors

“It is an absolute pleasure working with Steve. Having known and worked with him for over 10 years we had no hesitation in continuing to work with him when he decided to form A Brand’s Best Friend. Steve has a unique way of understanding any brief that is given to him and you can be assured that the range of concept ideas that are delivered back will contain an idea that hits the mark. He never fails to deliver for any deadline no matter how little notice you give him – no job is ever to small. Steve compliments our own internal marketing function superbly and we always receive many compliments about our creative work and how different it is to many other professional service businesses. I would recommend Steve’s services without fail.”

Rising Vibe

“Creative, inspiring, patient, calm and genius! This is how I would describe Steve at A Brands Best Friend. He took our concept and turned it into a top notch website along with an amazing video. He understood our brand quickly and easily, and not once made any of our demands (we can be very demanding!) an issue. I would recommend him 300%!”

Photo Audit+

“Steve is a longtime collaborator with our marketing consultant, Goldcrest Marketing, so we were delighted to be introduced when we needed a brand identity for PhotoAudit+.
Steve joined team meetings to understand our brand and objectives, and presented alternative designs that each reflected our brand personality and context in the market. The process of evaluating, selecting and adjusting the designs was a great collaborative process between Steve and the team, resulting in a brand identity that gains us compliments from the businesses we meet.

With a full suite of brand assets, including a website and an animated video, we are able to live our brand in all our communications.

I look forward to working with A Brand’s Best Friend in future.”

“Brilliant to work with, super creative Steve delivered way beyond our expectations. We had a very un-simple brief with lots of high expectations around our brands look and feel think but despite that Steve delivered! We get constant positive comments on our brand, we love it, people love it and very importantly our customers love it! The process was simple and seamless and we loved being able to bounce off ideas and see them translated into the perfect look and feel! I have been to recommending Steve to anyone who will listen and will continue to do so!

In the early days of creating our Brand voice, look and feel - we were really lucky in being recommended Steve of A Brands Best Friend to help us capture and make sense of our the crazy and random thoughts. The process was from throwing ideas and concepts into a mood board to our resulting Brand Playbook was fun, seamless and what we came away with was incredible. And even 5 years on the Branding is engaging and relevant!.”

“I have worked with many design agencies and freelance consultants over the past 18 years, but have failed to find anyone quite a good as Steve. That is why I keep going back to him. Steve has the perfect blend of business understanding, design and common sense approach to projects. He is efficient with his time and always goes the extra mile when you need it.

Steve has a lot of experience and great contacts who can help him deliver far greater output then you would expect from a single person. Steve’s work is as good as you would get from any premium agency at a fraction of the price and usually a fraction of the time too. He cuts through the bullshit and gets straight to what you need, he is an awesome guy to work with.”

Goldcrest Marketing

“I've worked with Steve to create impactful brands for new businesses and to refresh brands for established businesses. He has also created lots of stunning marketing materials for everything from social media to digital brochures and downloads. Steve is great at what he does and is really easy to work with. His experience means he can grasp the brief and fill in the gaps to deliver creative solutions that are usually spot-on first time.
One of his most valuable qualities is his ability to actively listen to the brief, taking the time to fully understand the objectives and context of the project before beginning the design process. This thoughtful and strategic approach ensures his work is not only visually compelling but also aligned with the commercial goals.

Steve has a calm, easy going manner. He's professional, never misses a deadline and is always helpful. It has been a pleasure to collaborate with him, and I would not hesitate to recommend A Brand's Best Friend to anyone seeking high-quality, thoughtful branding and design work.”
