Company description
Fabrik is a specialist creative design agency that has developed deep expertise in core areas of brand strategy, branding, naming, visual identity, campaigns, user guidelines and digital communications. These key disciplines are central to brand-building and brand development. We don’t dabble in other areas. We don’t spread our talents and our energy too thinly.
At Fabrik, we move companies and organisations forward by using the power of branding and brand communications. We bring new brands to life, and we breathe fresh life into existing brands. We’re continually sharpening our pencil, by focusing our energy on improving our thinking and weighing this carefully against our creative integrity. We collaborate enthusiastically, and teamwork is central to Fabrik’s approach. This way of working enables us to deliver highly effective brand strategy and brand identity programmes that add real value to our clients businesses. As a media neutral agency – working across digital and traditional media – we draw heavily on our experience of delivering even the most complex programmes of change and view project management as a discipline in its own right.
We care deeply about client relationships. Most of our clients have been with us for ages and are regular visitors to our Fabrik’s offices. They also recommend Fabrik to other organisations. We believe in the value of long-term relationships, not the design equivalent of a one night stand. We’re not flighty, and enjoy going steady. Of course, sustaining any relationship requires effort on both sides, and we’re determined to do our bit. We’re understanding. We try to see things from the point of view of our clients, without surrendering objectivity.
We look at issues from the point of view of our clients’ employees and customers, without giving up our creative principals. We’re meticulous about the little things. By building harmonious relationships with our clients, we help our clients build fruitful relationships with their audiences, creating opportunities for two-way dialogue.
Before we work to understand a client’s brief, we work to understand the client. We get under the skin of the organisation. We get a feel for their purpose and personality.
Then, armed with this insight, we address the issues at hand. Our first reaction to a brief is often to pull it apart. We deconstruct it to isolate the component parts and refine the proposition. Throughout the process we think creatively as well as strategically. We deliver tangible, not tangential, creative solutions. Meanwhile, as creative barriers are broken, budgetary and timing controls are strictly adhered to.
Although we’re a bespoke operation, and not a production line, we do work within a simple four-stage process:
• 1. We listen.This stage is all about putting the fundamentals in place. It involves exploratory discussions to establish the project’s framework and intelligent questioning to clarify the objectives.
• 2. We think.The thinking stage gives our creativity a sense of direction. We examine the competitive landscape, research the target audience and investigate potential avenues for innovation.
• 3. We create.This stage is the least process-driven. Within the boundaries of our earlier listening and thinking, we give free rein to our creativity. Following few rules, we make, build, shape and craft.
• 4. We manage.The discipline of deadlines and budgets makes sure our creativity fulfills its purpose. With their feet on the ground, our project managers stay in touch with our clients and reality.
Fabrik adds industry to creativity. A hands-on place, where everyone works on the factory floor, we focus on quality and craftsmanship. Proud of our bias towards making things, rather than talking about things, we welcome visitors to our design facility. To arrange a tour, please contact us…
