Research & strategy With a human-centred approach we build a clear, holistic picture of the people you serve, their needs, and the place you inhabit in their world. And define the brand, digital and content strategies that deliver for them.
Whether with your teams, your users, or both, co-design workshops deepen understanding, sharpen alignment and unlock opportunities for your business.
We translate what drives your business and makes it valuable into a meaningful brand idea, compelling brand story, and a memorable brand system.
Brand and product naming that build a distinct identity. Brand language and proposition that communicates your value, and UX writing that supports meaningful experiences.
Designing the brand touch points and experiences, including packaging, real and digital environments. That leave lasting impressions and deepen relationships.
As a B Corp we’re committed to delivering positive impact for the planet in our projects. Providing consultancy, strategy and expertise in low carbon digital platforms and sustainable packaging alternatives.

Best starting point is to get in touch with our director Johnny, he’s best to have an initial conversation and then work out which of the team would be good to involve in a deeper conversation.
We have an annual graduate programme that runs from September to December every year. You can read more about it here, and read some of our previous graduates stories too. We run the programme with our sister company wove and graduates get experience across – research, strategy, brand and digital. Best thing to do is follow the wovegraduate programme instagram, and any of our other socials to stay informed…
We wish we had more job opportunities! We’re a small, tight knit company and so new jobs don’t come up that often. We’d encourage you to connect with us and our team on linkedin as that’s where we share opportunities when they come up.
Yes, we call wove our sister company. Both aad and wove are dedicated to bringing design to the heart of businesses and organisations, helping them to change how things work for the better. Wove is focused on strategy, innovation and change projects, and at aad we’re focused on brand, digital and content projects.
We are indeed a proud B Corp, and are also surprised how little known the B Corp movement still is. Put simply it’s an approach to further ‘business for good’. Interested companies have to work through a process of developing policies, structures and initiatives that enshrine a triple bottom line – people and planet as well as profit. It’s a rigorous yet valuable process, and we’d recommend it for those who are driven by these kind of values. We’re always happy to offer a friendly ear and advice to anyone who wants to know more.
Yes, websites have a carbon impact because they use energy. While the picture we have of digital platforms, products and tools is that they’re in the cloud and therefore ‘weightless’, that isn’t the case. Extra bells and whistles, content no one uses, poorly optimised images and motion, hiding content away behind layers of clicks. All this has an impact on energy usage. This is something we consider with every site we build, how to maximise the impact while minimising the energy usage. We’re always happy to talk more about this so please do get in touch.
That’s a great question! Please do get in touch and ask it, and we may even add it to this list.
If there is Something we didn’t cover here, please reach out to us at hello@aad.works !
We're working towards an open, transparent workspace that prioritises people and planet
