Toast Design

Based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, Toast Design has operated since 1997 and works with businesses across the UK, including marketers, marketing teams and project owners who need design work delivered without an account-management layer in between. Clients typically come to Toast with a clear brief, established brand guidelines and a deadline, looking for a team that can pick up the work and execute it reliably rather than start from scratch on strategy. The agency states it works with a diverse range of clients, on both ad hoc and retained bases, spanning sectors such as FMCG, retail and foodservice. Core services centre on branding and logo design, brochure and report design, and WordPress website design and build, alongside broader business communications work such as annual reports, impact reports and infographics. On the digital side, the agency offers custom WordPress websites, technical SEO, AI-ready websites, hosting and ongoing support. Branding work spans brand strategy, brand identity design and logo design, while print work covers brochures, marketing collateral and packaging, with an emphasis on integrating printed materials into wider marketing activity. Toast describes three ways of working: creative execution for briefs that are already defined, creative strategy for projects that need shaping as they develop, and business positioning and strategy work for challenges that go beyond design alone. Clients work directly with the in-house creative team rather than through account managers.
