Why wake-up at Dawn?


How we work

Key principles

In a world where brand is everything, we spend our days thinking about nothing else. How you look, sound, move, feel. What you say, how you say it. Tempo, tone, touch. Some call it an obsession, but to us, it’s just what we do.

From brand identity and web development to motion graphics and beyond, we’ll arm you with everything you need to take on the day with confidence, led by a brand your customers and team are proud to stand behind.

01

Direct access to the team

Life’s too short for middlemen. Cut out the Chinese whispers and speak directly to the designer, developer or animator working on your project for faster turnarounds and creative that always hits the mark.

02

Everything on brand, forever

Brand is more than just aesthetics. It’s how you speak, move, sound, feel. Your tempo, tone, touch. Skilled in all, we’ll make sure your brand puts its best foot forward wherever it goes.

03

Outsourced agency, in-house feel

With resources limited and demand for marketing assets through the roof, it’s easy for in-house departments to become overwhelmed. Partnering with us means having instant access to a team that deliver the goods whenever you pick up the phone.

04

Fresh eyes, new possibilities

You can’t read what’s on the label when you’re in the jar. That’s why smart brands turn to us for help. Fresh eyes means fresh perspectives, fresh thinking and results that go above and beyond expectations.

05

Hit deadlines faster

Brand is all about progress – the transition from where you were, to where you are, to where you want to be. Meticulous in brand, digital and motion, we’re also highly responsive when it comes to delivery. You need great quality collateral quickly – and that’s exactly what you get. Reliability as a service.

06

Transparent partner access

We can’t do everything. But we have a partner for everything else. Whether it’s filming, OOH ad management, PPC, SEO, you name it, we have a trusted partner for it. Let us know what you need, and we’ll share their direct invoice, and you can just pay through us. No need to raise multiple POs, we’ll sort it.

Horizon days

Helping brands shine is demanding work. That’s why our team get Horizon Days, an extra day off each quarter to relax and recharge. We’re an active bunch, so they usually involve something outdoorsy, like mountain climbing, zip-lining or random trips to somewhere cool. Check out what we get up to.

We really thank you for everything. Everyone loved the content you produced for our global event - it's also being used as a sell-in tool internally so it will be really helpful to the sales team. Our VP of Marketing was really impressed so let’s keep up the great work.

Emma Casson

Head of Product Marketing Apadmi
I just wanted to drop you all a note to say how delighted I am with the showreel!! It's absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for pulling it all together so quickly. The pitch also went really well and I'm sure the video will have played a part in that.

Joanna Pawlowicz

Marketing Manager Softbank
Dawn Creative team is a dream to work with! We partnered up on a rebranding project for our [DMFA] website, and could not be happier with the end results. The support we've received was truly exceptional - from the initial branding workshops, development phase, all the way through to the launch. It is great to see how our vision came to life, and how the team managed to take a very simple concept, transforming it into a whole brand identity that aligns with our vision & mission.

Jennifer Bailey

CEO Calla Shoes
The feedback we've had [on the rebrand] has been incredible - the new look and feel together with the launch of our new improved range has dramatically increased revenue this year already!

Sonya Carassik Ratty

Strategy & Partnerships Manager Disabled Living
The Dawn team really took the time to understand the organisation during our rebrand process, and brought imagination and real creativity to it. Communication was clear throughout. We're absolutely delighted with the result.

Neil Richardson

Head of Business Development and Strategy Rick Shiels Media
Dawn Creative surpassed our expectations with their creativity and originality. They took the time to understand our company values, mission, and target audience, and developed a brand identity that truly resonates with our core beliefs. The innovative concepts, thoughtful designs, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the brand development process.
