ABOUT
Our story, values, process and people
Zeke Creative is immersed in the interiors, property and built environment sectors. We have one purpose—to create desire and two principles behind everything we do—ELEVATE a brand’s position and perception or AMPLIFY its voice and message. For some clients, we do both.

OUR STORY
An independent brand marketing studio based in Bristol, faithfully pursuing excellence since 2012.
Our paths first crossed in 2005 when we started to collaborate on creative projects while we were both running our own respective agencies. We shared a common set of values and found the relationship fruitful on many levels, the time wasn’t right to merge. Seven years later, we find ourselves with a new name, a fresh colour pallete, but the same intentions and desire to work together. And our name? Zeke: short for Ezekiel—Old Testament prophet.
OUR VALUES
Our core values never change, Zekers are brave enough to ask the challenging questions; drawn to elegance; inspired by simplicity; and in all our dealings inside and outside the business there is truth. Put simple it’s the best approach.

OUR PROCESS
We have a simple three-stage approach when working with our clients.
1
DISCOVER/ORGANISATIONAL LEVEL
Strategy without knowledge is not strategy, it’s guesswork, so this is how we come to understand exactly what is needed and reveal the opportunities (or challenges) to be faced. We’ll work together to develop the big idea and the feelings that you want people to associate with your high-end brand—your positioning and personality.
2
DEFINE/IDENTITY LEVEL
With any architecture, interior, design or property business we’re at our best when we help build from the ground up, from tone of voice, look, feel and message. We’ll carefully craft your name, tagline, key messages, elevator pitch, and visual identity—including advice on how to use colour, type, and photography to communicate.
3
DO/EXPERIENTIAL LEVEL
We put your brand into action. We can build your presence online, in person, in print, and beyond, using your strategy and identity to guide our work. We can rethink and redesign your website and email templates, or get you online for the first time, develop brochures and other materials, telling your story both visually and verbally to both buyers and specifiers.
