Different by design
Creativity powered by people. Our diverse team brings a unique perspective to every challenge, pursuing ideas that make a difference.

People
We are thinkers, creators, and innovators who like to push boundaries and buck trends. We share an entrepreneurial spirit, and a passion for the quality and creativity of our work — and a commitment to working hard for our clients. We always remember that our clients are people too. This helps break down siloes and encourages collaboration so that together we tackle challenges, and find opportunities.

Process
We look at every challenge through the lens of business, brand and customer. So that our solutions are relevant and sustainable, our ideas magnify a brand’s potential, and we gain fresh insight into customer's needs and desires. It’s at the intersection of business, brand, and customer that we find the spark for our creative ideas. Ideas that will work in physical and digital, provide quick wins and long-term advantage, drive brand value and growth.

Philosophy
We believe in the power of a unifying big idea. An idea big enough to support the breadth of a business...big enough to inspire creativity across channels...big enough to underpin everything that we see, touch, and hear from a brand. That’s why we don’t stop at good ideas, and push for big ideas that connect every step of the journey so that the experience of the brand has meaning no matter where it lives.

Creativity for the real world
We are committed to the quality and creativity of our work, and to visionary design that’s grounded in reality.
We are thoroughly integrated with other Principle teams — brand strategy, PMO and implementation — to ensure that anything we create is based on a solid strategic foundation and can be implemented.
We encourage honest dialogue to gain alignment with clients at key decision points, including the Brand Experience Strategy which lays the foundation for how a brand connects with customers across its offer. This ensures a united vision for how we move forward together.
Our series of workshops and sprint programmes can be tailored to specific client challenges, and in response to market conditions, and are an important part of our process. We find that working collaboratively with clients to co-create streamlines the process, and ensures that we are benefitting from the knowledge and perspective of all stakeholders.
We don’t like 'ta-dah’ meetings. Instead of the big reveal, we keep our clients close the whole way through a project.
We’re passionate about doing the right thing for the people we work with and communities we operate in.
Our team partners with local and global organisations that are making a difference in our communities. We believe in the power of purposeful design to make a positive impact.
