What's it like working with Coldharbour Creative?

Collaborative, transparent and down-to-earth. We’re creative problem-solvers who keep things simple and put our clients first. We love building long-lasting relationships and like to think of ourselves as an extension of your team!

What is your onboarding process?

We start with an informal discovery call, or a coffee if you’re local. This helps us to get to know you, your brand and your goals. It’s all about understanding where you are now, what you’re aiming for, and how we can help you get there. From there, we’ll put together a proposal with a few options, so you can choose the approach that best fits your goals, timeline and budget. We’ll give you time to have a good look through and ask any questions before discussing how you’d like to move forward.

Do you offer consultancy by the hour?

We do! Our consultancy sessions are flexible, by the hour, and shaped around whatever you need. Whether it’s refining your brand identity, planning a campaign, or getting to grips with SEO, we’re here to help you step back, see the bigger picture, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

How much do your services cost?

Discovery calls are always complimentary with no pressure or obligation. Costs vary depending on the project. We’re happy to provide a tailored quote after we’ve got a better idea of what you’re looking for.

What services do you offer?

We’re a full-service agency, which means we can get stuck into everything from brand identity and logo design to website development, social media management, content creation, campaigns, SEO, PPC, and more.

Our story

We’re on a mission to redefine marketing.

All too often we’re left feeling overwhelmed by the buzzwords and jargon commonly used within the industry. A feeling I have known all too well throughout my design career over the last 25 years. That’s why we adopt a more simplistic approach to what we do, focusing on what really matters - building standout brands and helping businesses thrive.

Drawing from decades of experience, we take everything we’ve learnt over the years and strip it back. The result? A simplified & streamlined approach that engages our clients, enabling us to take them on the journey with us. We work in a way that resonates with you.

Ben Maiden, Founder.

Small but mighty

Being a small team with decades of experience behind us means we can focus on our strengths - enabling a more efficient use of your resource as you'll work directly with the people in the know.

It goes without saying that we love to collaborate with others too. So when we need to, we'll lean on the handful of experts we know and trust to support us in other areas.
