What We Do
At the very core of what we do at Downing Design is a desire to help organisations create and promote their brands .  We use our creativity and the tools of advertising, graphic design, multimedia and the internet to turn good brands into great brands. We help businesses tell their best story in the most effective way possible. We call it the ‘art of business’.

We seek to understand your business and what you want to communicate. We think through the options, overcome the challenges and present ideas to help you reach your objectives.

We work together with you to effectively sell your products or services.

We provide a one-stop shop for all your promotion.  Our clients enjoy having one point of contact for all their promotions, saving time so they can get on and do what they do best.

Overall Brand Management

Much of our work involves managing many different aspects of a client's business from signwriting, to websites and media advertising and so on.  Throughout this process our aim is to keep the brand consistent and strong.  We orchestrate various media and suppliers to make sure that they are all singing off the same song sheet.  This work is demonstrated in the brand identities section of our website.

Our Process
After the initial information gathering phase we develop a strategy or brief to make sure we all agree on what we are trying to communicate or what problem we are solving. We then move to the creative phase where we are able to develop a number of creative options for you. When one of these ideas is settled upon we move to producing the idea. Our ideas usually end up as printed material, on the web or as advertisement in the media.
