Mr B & Friends

Branding, Digital / Mobile, Planning/Strategy

We help creative positive change for our clients through our three core disciplines: Brand consulting, Creative & Digital Engagement.

 

 

Mr B & Friends is a creative agency: brand, advertising, digital, marketing. We think, we design, we execute. We get results. You get the picture.

We’ve successfully been in business since 2006 and work with some of the UK’s most ambitious brands, from household names to innovated SME’s.

Our agency mantra: Where next? guides our thinking.

It reminds us every day that standing still isn’t an option. Our clients, their markets, our people and our business need to continually evolve. Asking this question in everything we do ensures that we’re always challenging, always curious.

Six Degrees Group

Buy and build: a business strategy of turning investment into acquisition into a powerful and profitable company. That was the strategy we faced when we were briefed to create a new service provider in the B2B telecommunications, data and connectivity sector. Led by industry star Alastair Mills, our brief was to create a single monolithic brand following the acquisition of four small, but high quality, profitable and complementary service providers. Six Degrees Group was created ? the name reflecting the six degrees of separation theory. We created the brand positioning strategy, ?Connect with us? and the visual identity including logo and house style. We then implemented the new brand across every conceivable media including website, digital animation, signage, print, internal communications and marketing and sales support materials. In just 3 months.
