We are AB, the ideas agency

Our work is based on the belief that great ideas inspire exciting and effective communication.

We offer design, digital and moving image services to clients of all shapes and sizes, but no matter who we're working with, we make sure that we are consistently:

Professional

our expert designers, developers, film makers, writers and strategists have a wealth of combined experience and commercial knowledge. This means our work is well targeted, meaningful and effective.

Creative

we don’t think that creativity should be limited to an agency department. Creativity is about coming up with great ideas, and that's something that everyone at AB – from designers to producers – does on a regular basis.

and approachable

communication is about speaking to people. We’re proud of the fact that our clients feel like they can call us whenever they need help.

That's it. AB in a nutshell. Browse work to see some examples of recent projects, meet the team or catch up on our latest Tweets.

History

AB was established in 1983 as a two-man graphic design studio. Two recessions and almost three decades later, and we're bigger and busier than ever. Our team has expanded (to twenty-six people at the last count) and we've even had to buy the house next door to make space for everyone.

It's not just our size that’s changed; our services have too. We set up AB Multimedia in 2000 to meet the increasing demand for digital solutions. Then, in 2005, we launched our moving image department so we could create films and animations in-house. This makes life easier for everyone. Clients don't have to move back and forth between different agencies and we can make sure that everything we produce is consistent and on-brand.

So what’s the key to our longevity? We like to think it's got something to do with our ideas approach. It was just as relevant when we set up as it is now, and it applies to all the services that we work in.
