Circle

Based at The Dams Studio in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, Circle Creative Communications is a small design studio, run by a two-person creative partnership, that has operated since 2000. It serves clients across Northern Ireland, Donegal, Monaghan and Louth, working with both government bodies and private sector organisations. The studio describes itself as a boutique agency, emphasising a personal approach and friendly service over scale, with projects referenced including the Dunadry Hotel, Moyway Motors, Cranstoun and the Patient and Client Council. Its core work centres on brand design and interpretive design, aiming to create distinctive visual identities and to translate complex ideas into clear, accessible design-led storytelling. Declared areas of expertise include branding, graphic design for print, advertising campaigns, wayfinding, exhibition design and signage design, alongside print management. For services outside its core design offering, Circle Creative states that it takes a "best of breeds" approach, working with a number of key associates to deliver an integrated service covering public relations, web design, digital strategy, online advertising, SEO, photography and copywriting. This combination allows the studio to position itself as a complete creative partner, moving from brand strategy through to digital and print delivery, while keeping its own team focused on branding and design work.
