The challenges
From developments to destinations to cultural spaces, often the same challenges often emerge:
Lost in translation
A vision that feels clear to you, but not to your audience.
Hesitant stakeholders
Stakeholders who aren’t yet convinced by your brand story.
Places without pull
Places that struggle to connect people and build loyalty.
The outcome
We help turn your vision into a brand that people believe in. Our role is to define what makes your project distinct, align your stakeholders around a clear story, and create an identity that inspires confidence and connection.

The outcome is a brand that builds trust, sparks demand and creates meaningful connections between people and place.

How we get you there

Our three-step approach helps you turn vision into clarity, clarity into a brand, and your brand into experiences people connect with.
1. Brand Story

We dive deep into your industry, analysing your market and listening to your community to truly understand what makes your brand unique. The outcome is a brand story that your audience wants to connect with.

2. Brand Identity

We transform strategy into design that is clear and purposeful. Every detail is built around a core idea, ensuring your brand not only looks distinctive but communicates who you are with clarity and confidence.

3. Brand Activation

When it comes to launch, we activate your brand through experiences that connect. From motion and digital to campaigns and environments, we turn your story into moments that engage, inspire and deliver results.

The team are thrilled with the brand development for Motionspot. Leon was an exceptional creative partner. His ideas were imaginative and well thought out, and he communicated them clearly and collaboratively. His organisation and attention to detail ensured everyone was aligned throughout the project.
Charlotte Wright
Marketing Director, Atelier Property Finance
I trust Talking Shapes across all creative delivery – whether the creation of a new brand or implementation. He listens to the brief, interrogates it and digs deeper, which makes me think harder about the project and as such, we get better results.
