Design can change the future of businesses.

Our Process

We set strong strategic foundations for building brand design systems, creative art direction, motion design, retouching and more. And, all our work is guided by our founding partners, so you get hands on support from senior leadership.

Define

We work with our clients.

We work collaboratively with clients to define their brief, this enables us to identify what disciplines and skill sets will be needed across which channels. For us, a successful result is achieved through a collaborative client-designer relationship as well as a concept based on research and strategy. Taking the time to discuss and explore our clients brief helps us plan and design, resulting in the success of meaningful design.

Design

Every project is met with creative ambition.

Our network of creative friends includes brand strategists, copywriters, motion-designers, and retouchers, who we will call on if needed. You’ll always get to work with familiar faces — and we’ll get to know you, and your brand, inside out. Our aim is to help your brand not only stand out from the crowd but also build enduring business relationships. We pride ourselves on assisting our clients effectively connecting with their target audiences.

Deliver

Future proofing your brand with supply.

An exciting stage to be at as no doubt we have created something we are both very proud to be part of. We see every project through to delivery and ensure all work is supplied on time and in the most manageable and accessible way.

We're committed to working with founders we believe in who are building progressive businesses with a purpose beyond profit.
And we're there at the start of their journey - where the real magic happens. Unlike our partners, we're not aiming to scale.

Our small senior team work on everything from the big ideas
down to the smallest details, calling on an expert network of specialist collaborators for specific briefs.

Grolsch Fish said fred BLOK Sports Direct Ruckus Ohme Youtube CAT Peroni Antidote Royal Anglian Asahi Oppo Leap Bird Essatoshi Freedom Lager MOSS Medialink Neutrally

Having worked with Rob and Chris before, we had no hesitation in taking Neutrally to them. As usual they got right under the skin of the idea at the earliest stage, took us through a process and came up with something visually outstanding at the end. We wanted to be bold and fresh in a relatively new category of personalised health, and these guys nailed it. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any founder.

Fake Empires truly exceeded our expectations when it came to creating the identity and brand for Essatoshi. The eye-catching visuals and unique graphics captured the essence of our brand perfectly. We highly recommend Fake Empires to anyone who is looking for a creative company to help bring their vision to life.

Essatoshi

Fake Empires have done some great work for BLOK, from decks to campaigns. They are quick and bring genuine flair and sophistication to a project and can adapt quickly to a brief.

Max Oppenheim — Creative Director

BLOK

At Bird, we had a huge challenge in repositioning and refreshing a brand that was already a living, breathing thing - with a lot that had changed along the way. They managed to keep the DNA that we loved, so we had continuity, but turned it into something we really felt we could use and live with. That was no easy task, but they were awesome.

Paul Hemings — Co-founder

Bird Restaurants

Fake Empires have been a fantastic partner working across our brand portfolio, delivering 1st Class creative on Social, digital, OOH and retailer POS. A highly creative and collaborative team, they are a pleasure to work with.
