We are Hello, a creative agency with studios in the UK and Canada.
Working with conscious brands to design a brighter future
Today’s brands need to engage customers and consumers in new and more meaningful ways. The public consciousness has shifted; consumers now seek brands that resonate with them ethically, with shared values — brands that utilise their voice, actions and reach to contribute positively to the world — brands that exist for more than just profit.
Always curious
You’ve got to be interested to do your best work, you’ve got to feed off of the people around you — and that’s where we thrive — our team love working with those businesses really trying to achieve something, trying to find a way through the treacle — we dig, excavate, weave along tangents finding the gems and ideas others aren’t curious enough to look for.
We play, experiment and explore, employing a diverse range of media and methodologies in all our projects, ensuring the brands we create are living, conscious, dynamic brands — fit for purpose.
No gut. No glory
We blur the line between insight and instinct, developing strategies that are authentic and actionable — realising your potential.
In this age of dirty data, stakeholder engagement and consumer safari’s, good old instinct can get lost, lost in a wash of magnolia and average. That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for intelligent research, solid customer insight or even the odd focus group, but don’t forget what got you where you are — trusting your gut. We do it every day, and we push our clients to do the same, it makes for better work, more distinctive, more ownable.
If you’re not brave enough to stand out in your category, your only option is to blend in… the choice is yours.
Say it like it is
Straight talk is the only talk. We’ll be honest with you — just do the same to us — that’s all we can ask. It means we can get to know you and your organisation better meaning we can do our best work. In return we’ll make sure you know we’re there, matching your passion and enthusiasm every step of the way.
Fair play
We believe in playing fair, so you won’t find us free-pitching for work, it’s not fair on anyone, designers, agencies or clients — you will however find us setting aside a large chunk of our annual studio time to devote to pro-bono projects for social enterprises, charities, CIC’s and non-profits (we feel they’re more deserving of the ‘free’ work). So if you fall into one of those categories, and you would like some help, drop us a line.
