Your brand image is the single most important marketable investment your company can make. A positive brand image lays a foundation on which companies build their future. Whether newborn, midlife crisis or old age, all brands need a hug some time and we can help you to create the right brand image for your business.
From a simple logo design, through to a full blown re-brand, our job is to make the process as simple as possible. Over the past 5 years, North East (South Tyneside) based Urban River has created in excess 100 brands, some of which have gone onto to win European honours.
Our work has encompassed college re-brands, public sector branding and branding for a vast number of private sector clients.
Design for print is exactly what we do. From a simple poster through to a full campaign involving large print quantities, we work across all forms and media providing brochures, point of sale and corporate literature through to advertising and direct mail.
Although based in the North East (South Tyneside), we have provided print design solutions for clients throughout the UK and Europe.
Well designed printed literature is all about the look and feel and the ability to present messages in an easy to digest format.
We want to make your life a little easier and stop you fading into the background by providing creative ideas, photography, copywriting and print management all wrapped up in a package which works.
From a simple brochure design through to an integrated and well designed publicity campaign, we have one objective;
"create something which makes a positive impact"
From a simple brochure website through to a fully functional all singing all dancing interactive DVD, our approach to digital design is to listen, create, design and build a solution which not only looks good, but provides the functionality you need.
At our state of the art North East (South Tyneside) studio, we create award winning accessible websites and interactive digital work. Our digital media projects range from complex functional websites through to interactive DVD based training materials.
An attractive website is useless if no one knows you exist and we can provide a full e-marketing service, search engine optimisation packages, analysis of web site traffic and our (CMS) full content management system allows you to make changes to your website without relying upon the Urban River team.
Our approach to web and digital design is simple, listen to your requirements, map out and agree a clear approach and agree upon a suitable web design before any build and programming starts.
