Riley & Thomas

Riley & Thomas is a design-led studio based in Broadway, in the Cotswolds, England, working with a small team of between 1 and 10 people. The agency specialises in lifestyle, food and drink brands, and describes its client base as including luxury spirits producers, boutique hotels, heritage destinations and lifestyle brands. It positions itself as a selective partner rather than a high-volume agency, taking on a limited number of clients and working across print, digital and spatial touchpoints for brands aiming at a premium or discerning market, with a stated history of over a decade of work in this space. The service offering covers branding, marketing strategy, graphic design, web design and SEO. Branding work spans brand design, messaging, customer experience and reputation management, approached holistically to align with a client's values and business goals. Logo design is offered as a distinct service, with the agency drawing a distinction between a standalone logo, a logo built for a website, and a full corporate identity, noting that investment level affects the strength of the resulting brand. Web design is built specifically on WordPress, with services including information architecture, user experience design, usability testing and responsive, mobile-friendly structure. Marketing strategy work focuses on selecting the right mix of channels — website, mobile, social, e-commerce and search engine marketing — to reach customers, often beginning with foundational activity such as blog content and email campaigns.
