Bath-based branding consultancy Designbull is celebrating 10 years in business – and helping to put South West businesses, start-ups and charities on the national and international map.
Andy Fuller, pictured, who started the company from his bedroom in 2006, believes the region’s business community is getting stronger and he has seen a number of clients achieve national recognition, including Keynsham-based fast-growing nutritional food supplements business BodyMe, and Accellier, the Cheltenham-based specialist software firm. 
He said understanding the value of a good brand strategy and eye-catching design had played an important role in the firm’s development.
And his 20 years in the design industry has helped Designbull’s clients build strong brand presence and differentiate themselves from competitors.
Designbull’s services include brand roadmapping, brand strategy, logo and website design.
Andy said: “We couldn’t have made it this far without our clients who placed their trust in us.”
“Bath and the South West is a fantastic place to do business. There are a lot of very talented people here with great ideas and businesses.
“We are seeing an increase in branding inquiries as companies look to push on, realising the value in branding and its role in creating a competitive advantage.”
BodyMe was a good example, he said. “The look and feel of its brand and product packaging is crucial in what is becoming an increasingly competitive space.”
Designbull also updated the BodyMe e-commerce site making it easier and faster to update.
BodyMe founder Leigh Prideaux said: “As a health food business with growing ambitions, I required help to define my brand message that reflected our target audience.
“From his initial roadmapping session, Andy put us on the right path, providing a refreshed logo identity and packaging design, a full set of brand guidelines and now a user-friendly website.
“Since the new brand refresh we now have a solid base to grow the brand and sales.”
