Profile__A little bit about what makes Phage... Phage!
Established in 2002 as a Partnership and as a Limited Company in 2007, Phage has over 20 years combined experience within branding and communication design. The practice is owned jointly by the two Directors—Danny Brooks and Natasha Zlobec—and operates from its studio in Clerkenwell, London.
01__Our approach
We work with our clients in a direct, up-front, and transparent fashion, an approach that has enabled us to deliver 100% of projects over the last 8 years both on time and on budget. Our integrity and passion mean that you'll never have to compromise on creativity or quality, receiving innovative, intelligent, and inspiring design that delivers a powerful lasting impression.
02__Understanding your needs
We think about our work... hard, systematically unpicking a brief to get to the real needs of our clients and drawing on our expertise to offer recommendations on how best to achieve their goals. Our client-led approach is an important part of that process, it keeps our work fresh and our minds focused on what our clients really need.
03__Flexibility
Because of our size we are able to give our clients the full attention they deserve and can adapt to work around you instead of the other way around. When you commission Phage you'll get to deal directly with the people doing the work and can rest assured that once we’ve left your meeting we won’t be passing your work on to a junior colleague.
04__Project management
We’ve been doing this for some time now and along the way have built up a solid team of production partners. Add to that some excellent in-house project management skills and we’re able to keep things running smoothly throughout the course of your project, ensuring that deadlines are met and that the end product looks as fantastic as you dreamed it would.
05__How much?
To have something glorious you need an agency that understands when to use restraint and when to apply the bells and whistles. Because we've worked with people at all stages of their business development, from local emerging talent to market-leading global operations, we know how to handle a range of different budgets, and can advise you on how to make the most of what your money can buy, consistently providing our clients with real value for money, and lasting, measurable results.
06__Environmental and accessibility practices
At Phage we always recommend solutions to our clients that don't cost the earth, with more than 95% of jobs since 2007 being printed on FSC regulated or fully recycled stocks, and a pool of sub-contractors and suppliers who share our high environmental principles. We also care about people being able to read our work (it's pretty important we think!) and always follow RNIB clear print guidelines when appropriate. Oh, and we also recycle, walk to work, and have a wheelchair accessible studio.
