Design & Creative

You're never working with justoneperson.

The Circle is a small team of specialists. When your project needs design, photography or film, the right pair of hands is already here.

How we work

Right person, right project.


Most of my work, I do myself — the strategy, the words, the planning, the day-to-day. But great marketing needs more than one skill set, and pretending otherwise is how work ends up looking flat.

So The Circle works the way the name suggests. For every project, we bring in the person whose expertise fits it best — and often more than one of us. You get specialist craft where it counts, without ever losing the single point of contact, or the joined-up thinking, that makes the whole thing hang together.

What that looks like in practice

A new website

Cooper and I sit down and bounce ideas around — how to make it genuinely creative, and how to make the most of the client's own brand. He builds the brand assets and the visual design; I handle the structure, the words and the build. Two specialisms, one seamless result.

A content day at a care home

Cooper's behind the camera capturing real residents and real moments; I'm shaping how those stories get told across the year. You come away with a whole library of images and film, not a single awkward photoshoot.

The team

Meet the team.

Clare

Founder & Marketing Lead

Seventeen years in marketing and PR, nine of them in the care sector, plus four and a half in-house as a marketing manager for a care group. Clare leads on strategy, storytelling, social, websites and the words that tie everything together — and she's your single point of contact from first idea to finished work.

Cooper

Graphic Designer, Photographer & Videographer

Cooper brings many years of graphic design experience to The Circle, alongside photography and videography. He's the eye behind the brand assets, the social graphics that stay unmistakably on-brand, and the content-day filming and photography that capture real people and real moments.

Whether it's designing a website around a client's brand, building a set of campaign templates, or spending a day filming inside a care home, Cooper makes sure the work doesn't just read well — it looks and feels every bit as good.

What we create

What we create together.

Between us, everything your brand needs to look and sound like itself.

Brand & identity

Logos, brand guidelines, colour and type systems, and the templates that keep everything consistent.

Website design

Built and designed around your brand, not a stock theme.

Social media design

On-brand graphics, campaign visuals and content that stops the scroll for the right reasons.

Photography

Real people, real settings, beautifully shot — a whole bank of images to use across social, web and print.

Videography

Content days that capture life as it actually happens, edited and ready to share.

Print & marketing materials

Brochures, flyers, newsletters, banners and event materials, in print or digital.

Why it works

A team, without the agency overheads.


This is the bit that's genuinely different. You get the range of a full creative team — a marketer, a designer, a photographer and a videographer — but you're never passed around, never billed for a department, and never left wondering who's actually doing your work.

It's one relationship, one point of contact, and a small group of people who know your brand and genuinely care how it turns out. That's the whole idea behind the circle.

Marketing that leaves the rightmark.
