Tone

Based in a converted former bank building in Padiham, near Burnley, Tone works with marketing teams in high-compliance sectors such as finance, technology, gaming, and insurance. Trading as Brandshank Ltd and operating since 2011, the studio positions itself as a creative partner for internal marketing departments, plugging into existing teams to add creative capacity rather than requiring new hires. Clients referenced on the site include organisations connected to insurance, broadband, and speech technology, reflecting the agency's focus on regulated or technically demanding industries. The agency's stated offering covers web and UI/UX design, motion graphics, advertising creative, digital content, social creative, and mobile games, alongside broader services in SEO, branding, content marketing, public relations, and social media marketing. Its described method centres on producing websites, landing pages, videos, and campaign assets that are built to clear compliance requirements while remaining visually distinctive, with an emphasis on fast turnaround and adherence to brand guidelines. Tone describes itself as a small, tight-knit team of creatives, strategists, and builders that integrates directly with client marketing functions to meet deadlines. The company frames its work around combining creative output with the practical constraints of regulated industries, aiming to deliver content that is both compliant and visually engaging for finance, tech, gaming, and insurance clients.
