Why wake-up at Dawn?


How we work

Key principles

When you can be anyone – be you. We’ll help you challenge the conventions, provoke the assumptions and celebrate your uniqueness to win hearts, minds and new business. From conception to completion, we’ll give you all the brand, digital, motion design and ongoing brand management you need to face your future with confidence.

01

Direct access to the team

Speak directly to the designer or developer working on your project with no middle-person and no delays. That means accountable, professional client relationships with direct access. So you can have all the important conversations you need when you need them.

02

Everything on brand, forever

Your brand design is a composite of many moving parts. Though people often only think of brand aesthetics, there’s your tempo, tone, touch, your messaging and motion. There’s your sonic and your soundtrack. And there’s your digital presence. Skilled in all, we make sure that your brand becomes even greater than the sum of its parts.

03

Outsourced in-house model

With time short, resources limited and demand for marketing assets going through the roof, it’s easy for in-house departments to become overwhelmed. Who wouldn’t appreciate an experienced voice on the end of the phone? A team to take that weight off your shoulders? Additional brand, digital and motion management resource and fresh, objective, creative thinking as one.

04

No insider bias

You can’t read what’s on the label when you’re in the jar. That’s why so many businesses struggle with their own brand. And why switched on business owners and marketers turn to us for our objectivity. Fresh eyes, fresh thinking – proven growth.

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.

Your new journey starts here.

Team

We know our team works hard all year round, so we want to reward them. Our ‘Horizon Day’ gives everyone a random day off every quarter to do what they like. We’re an active bunch, so they usually involve something outdoorsy like mountain climbing or zip-lining, dog walking or going on a trip somewhere! Here are some photos from our most recent horizon days.

Testimonials


Don’t just take our word

Testimonials

“We worked with Dawn to completely overhaul our company messaging, branding and website and we couldn’t be happier with the result! The people at Dawn led us through the process from start to finish and worked in a very collaborative way which made the project a real joy. We look forward to working with you on future projects.”

Andy Atkinson

Mutual Vision

“It’s been a pleasure working with Dawn from start to finish. They recently created our new brand and website, and since then, we’ve seen an increase in enquiries and had multiple compliments on our unique identity.”

David Vernon

CandidSky

“Dawn didn't just design our website, but dug deep to define who we are as a company and business and used that to create the website feel and style. We ended up with brand clarity and new logos - Uniform, signs, vans, reception, signatures etc. All of which feeds perfectly into marketing and the unexpected improved staff morale with a clear corporate identity that everyone felt part of.”
