Our people
Everyone at 35 is a thinker and a doer. Our teams are composed of consultants, planners, designers, writers, account managers and production specialists. We have proven expertise in a diverse range of projects for some of the world's leading organisations. We also have enquiring minds and plenty of energy and ambition.
When you work with us you buy into a bespoke approach to brand communications: the best ideas, and the capability to bring them to life. We think as much about how we work as we do about the work itself.
Most design businesses care passionately about producing fantastic work. But we care just as much about our clients, so the processes and skills behind the work are every bit as important to us. We aim to provide the best client service, and draw on our close relationships with specialist suppliers of print, photography, copywriting and brand experience. Our partnership approach allows us to offer the flexibility and responsiveness that’s at the heart of all long-term relationships.
