We're Brand Folk. A boutique branding agency built for founders who think big.
We work with small and medium-sized businesses in food, drink and wellness — brands with real founders, real stories and real ambition. People who know their product is brilliant and need the world to see it that way too.
OUR WHY
For years, the branding world has left SMEs with a choice: fast and cheap, or brilliant and unaffordable. We started Brand Folk to fix that.
Louise, our founder, has spent 20+ years building brands that stand out — and she's still as excited about a great brand idea today as she was at the start. That energy is what Brand Folk is built on: the belief that every founder-owned business deserves a brand that genuinely reflects what they've built, and has the legs to go the distance.
We bring the expertise, methodology and craft of the world's best branding agencies — but with a boutique setup that means every project gets our full attention. Every brand we build is original, idea-led and built to last.
THE WHO
XXXX
Our work is focused on the food, drink and wellness space — founder-owned, independent businesses with products and brands we are genuinely excited about.
The founders we work with are at different stages. Some are launching for the first time and need to get it right. Some have outgrown their original brand and feel it's holding them back. Some are growing fast and need a team that knows what their brand needs. All of them care about the craft — just as we do.
OUR VALUES
RESPECT THE CRAFT
Branding isn't a downloadable graphic. It's a discipline. With 20+ years of experience, we know the difference between something that looks good and something that actually works — and we won't settle for anything less.
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT!
Where your business goes relies on where your brand starts. We don't do half-measures — because you shouldn't have to rebuild what we build.
WONDERFULLY DIFFERENT
Your brand should spark joy for you and your customers — and be entirely, unapologetically yours. No two brands we build look the same. That's the point.
GROW TOGETHER
To grow, you need a brand and a branding agency that grows with you. We build with flexibility baked in — so when your business evolves, your brand moves with it.
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
We live and breathe your brand — (almost) as much as you do. We put our heart into every project because the success of what we build matters to us just as much as it matters to you.
THE HOW
We follow a tried-and-tested four-stage process that replicates the thinking of the world's best brand teams, at a scale that works for founder-owned businesses.
RESEARCH
We deep-dive into your business: your market, your competitors, your audience and your ambitions.
STRATEGY
We clarify your values, purpose, personality and positioning, creating the strategic foundation everything else is built on.
DESIGN
We create a meaningful, original visual identity and messaging system that connects with your audience.
IMPLEMENTATION
We develop guidelines, assets and everything you need to launch with confidence and maintain long term.
