Our Branding Work
Reflect your values
We’ve created brands for charities, NGOs, think tanks and mission-led individuals working on everything from countering disinformation to advancing environmental and women’s rights. In every case, we listen carefully to understand the organisation behind the brand before we begin designing.
Our process is collaborative and values-led. We start by getting to know you, then share moodboards and creative directions that express key aspects of your mission. Together, we refine a final route and build a brand that represents your purpose with clarity and confidence.
We deliver a full set of brand guidelines, including colours, fonts, tone of voice and image guidance, along with a complete asset pack. We can also support you in rolling out the brand across assets like websites, campaigns and social content, and create templates for ongoing use.
Our collaborative model makes client feedback easy. You’ll work with a dedicated Maker Change manager who guides the process and communicates clearly with the design team throughout.
All of our brand packages include accessibility and inclusion considerations as standard. We build brands that are representative, usable and meaningful to the communities you serve. Thanks to our flexible network model, we can scale teams to fit your project, whatever its size or scope.

The MakerChange Studio team are talented, smart, conscientious, detail led, and offer tremendous value for money. Their creative work is truly inspiring and has led to some amazing results. They are an absolute pleasure to work with – always bringing great energy, enthusiasm and understanding to the creative process. It’s incredible to watch their ideas come to life; I can’t imagine going to any other agency for future projects.
Ross Burley
Co-Founder, Centre for Information Resilience
I cannot recommend MakerChange Studio highly enough. In my years running comms for various organisations, I am yet to come across a digital team that can offer such creativity and professionalism in equal measure. Designing Paul’s digital brand identity required real thought, given that we work with business, government and civil society, all of whom are very different. The MC team are so good at taking a brief, helping you think it through, understanding whatever limits you have to contend with, and seeing the opportunities. And then they take all of that away, and come back with concrete ideas, beautiful content, and a collaborative process. Building the website was actually a pleasure, which I never thought I’d hear myself say about any website build. The support since has been just as good. We really consider them an extended part of our small team’s family.

If you're looking for an agency that understands how to deliver high-impact communications that respond to strategy and inspire change, then look no further than MakerChange Studio. Their agile structure allows them to find the right partners for your creative needs and turn around highly-targeted high-quality work quickly, without compromise. Whether it's producing a video, developing a website or designing creative offline collateral, they always understand the objectives of the project and what it takes to move people to action. They are highly collaborative, and work with the utmost integrity – functioning more as in-house creative partners than a traditional advertising agency.
Hannah Dillon
Former Director, Zero Carbon Campaign and Iris Project
Having partnered with MakerChange Studio over the past three years, I can confidently say there is nothing they cannot do. No challenge, location, or situation is too difficult for them. They have an incredible capacity to create diverse, authentic, and visually stunning films, always prioritising collaboration with local filmmakers to ensure their work captures the true essence of each project. The projects we support consistently speak highly of their experience working with MakerChange Studio, praising the meaningful relationships formed with local filmmakers. MakerChange Studio is collaborative, are excellent communicators and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Millie Edwards
Director, Iris Project
Working with Jenni and Carlie and the wider Maker Change team was a brilliant experience and I couldn't recommend them enough. Their insights and experience helped drastically improve our branding and identity; their creative process was accessible and fun for our wider team and made it easy for everyone to embrace our new identity. As an environmental charity, it was important that we worked with a team that understood the impact we were trying to have and why high-quality communications would be a key part of that. The website build led by Andrew was also expertly done with the right mix of technical expertise and creativity. We are so pleased with our new website, which has worked beautifully since launch. Maker Change are now our 'go to' designer and creative lead for all our projects – we know when they are involved, we can rest easy that the end result will be exceptional.
