Brand Studio in Bristol
Brand, Website & Film, Built as One
A small independent studio in Bristol working across brand identity, websites, motion and art direction.
Our Services
What We Offer
Here's how the work usually breaks down, though most projects end up pulling on all four at once.
Brand Identity
from £2,500
We build the name, mark and visual language from the ground up, starting with what the business needs people to feel before we touch a typeface. What comes out the other end is a system you can hand to a printer, a developer or a sign maker without it falling apart.
Website Design
from £3,500
Our sites are built to carry the brand rather than sit on top of it, so the type, pacing and imagery come from the same thinking as everything else. You get a site that reads like it was written by one voice, because it was.
Motion & Film
from £1,800
Short films and motion work for launches, product stories or anything that doesn't sit still on a page. We shoot and cut it ourselves, so the pacing and tone match whatever else we've built for you instead of looking bolted on.
Art Direction
from £950 / day
For clients who already have parts of a brand but need someone steering the look of a campaign, a shoot or a season of work, we step in as the eye across everything. It's the hardest of our services to describe on paper, and often the most useful in practice.

About Us
Strategy First, Then the Work
We started Wavelength because a small group of us got tired of watching strategy and design sit in separate rooms, handled by different people who never spoke. We work out of Bristol and keep our client list short on purpose, usually a handful of projects running at once, never more than we can give proper attention to. That means the person in your first meeting is the same person sketching the logo, building the site or cutting the film later on. Before anything gets designed, we ask what the brand needs to do and who it needs to talk to, and the visual work follows from that. It's slower than taking on everything that comes through the door, but it's how we keep the craft honest. Clients tend to stay because they can ring the studio and speak to someone who already knows the whole story.

FAQs
Common Questions
How many clients do you take on at once? +
We keep it to a handful running at any one time, usually somewhere between three and six depending on size. It's a deliberate limit, not a waiting list, because it means the same person you meet at the start is still on the project months later.
Do we need a fully formed brand before we can start on a website or film? +
No, and most clients don't. We usually start with the strategy conversation regardless of what you think you're commissioning, because a website built before anyone's agreed what the brand needs to say tends to need redoing anyway.
What does a first meeting actually involve? +
Mostly us asking questions: who you're talking to, what's changed in the business, what hasn't worked before and why. We don't turn up with mood boards on day one, that comes later once we understand what the work has to do.
Can you work with our existing brand rather than starting from scratch? +
Yes, plenty of our work builds on something that already exists rather than replacing it. We'll tell you honestly if a full rebuild is worth it, but often the stronger move is sharpening what's there.
Are you only able to work with Bristol businesses? +
We're based in Bristol and most of our clients are local, but the work itself isn't tied to geography. Plenty of projects run fine over calls and email between the in-person sessions, so distance hasn't stopped us working with people further afield.
