Creative Critters

Based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, Creative Critters is a small design agency working with businesses across a range of sectors, from gyms and swim schools to property companies and educational providers. The team, sized between one and ten people, positions its work around helping clients build brand identities that create engagement and loyalty rather than treating design as a purely visual exercise. Portfolio examples referenced on the site include projects for Local Puzzle, Body Ethics Gym, Stollies Swim Academy, 999 Learning, ThriveWell and The Olive Branch, spanning web design, print and branding work. The agency's services are organised into three main areas: brand strategy and identity, website design, and print collateral. Branding work covers bespoke logo design, brand identity development, re-branding, and positioning, messaging and tone of voice. Website design is built around responsive, mobile-first builds intended to generate qualified leads, alongside search engine optimisation, social media design and digital marketing and advertising. Print services include business stationery, brochures and catalogues, leaflet and poster design, and packaging and labelling design. The agency also offers startup design packages aimed at smaller businesses with limited budgets, and describes its process as beginning with identifying the target audience and the specific problems a business faces before developing targeted content and brand experience.
