Phil Strachan is amazing!

I approached Phil thinking that I already knew what my 'brand' would be but wanting some help with the visual elements. What I came away with was a completely new (and much better) brand identity that genuinely reflects the business that I was looking to build.

Phil has a unique approach, taking you on a thought-provoking journey that challenges you (in a positive and friendly way) to explore your offering and how it differs from the competition before capturing that offering in a brand identity that is arrived at collaboratively – and one that is certainly brand and not bland. My sense was one of being guided and encouraged towards the end of the journey rather than having the destination dictated to me.

Working with Phil was an enjoyable experience as well as being great value - "London Quality at Glasgow prices” to quote the man himself. I felt I came away not only with a fantastic brand for my new business but also with greater clarity around what it was I was aiming to achieve and what I needed to achieve it

I have no hesitation in recommending Phil to anyone who is looking to build a successful business that stands out from the crowd.

STEPHEN CARTER – MANAGING DIRECTOR - THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WORKS

Phil Strachan has a fantastic ability to take a view of your organisation, consider your objectives and create a brand identity that is 'on the money'. He certainly delivered this for First Move in terms of helping us to redefine our proposition and what we deliver and in terms of positively evolving and refreshing the presentation of our business

He brings huge experience coupled with creative thinking in a package not often found outside the winning agencies in London.

MANAGING DIRECTOR - FIRST MOVE DIRECT MARKETING

Prior to appointing Phil Strachan, we had for quite some time been aware of the quality of his work and his reputation for delivering value on the business networking circuit. Nonetheless, it was still a major step for us to entrust the future evolution of our ‘brand’ to someone else and to be expected to pay for the privilege of doing so. We need not have worried. It was a great investment. Phil was very patient with us prior to us appointing him in terms of explaining his approach and detailing the various stages and costs of the project.

In summary, we can thoroughly recommend Phil Strachan to anyone who is looking to add value to their business or brand. We got exceptional value from the experience. What we had initially feared might be quite a painful process was actually a wholly enjoyable and totally rewarding one as Phil took us on a journey from what we came to recognise as ‘bland’ through to a real ‘brand’ that we are now very proud of.

Phil’s attention to detail is what sets him apart and he opened our eyes to what our offering really was and what sets us apart from our competitors. With this achieved, he then delivered a new Identity for our business that will take us well into the future and he created a stationery set including business cards that everyone in our business is very proud to hand out.

We learnt a lot about our business and brand and how to communicate and present it in the process – Thank you Phil.

PARTNERS - THE FISH PARTNERSHIP -SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD ON TO WILKINS KENNEDY AND THEN AZETS

As a new business owner, it was easy to become overwhelmed by the things one needs to do when setting up a business, but I knew that getting my brand right had to be top of my list.

The process of brand evolution that Phil took me through was both intense and thought provoking but also very enjoyable and rewarding and such fantastic value for money. I trusted him completely to get me to a place where I not only developed my brand but I was also able to articulate my business more effectively - which has greatly improved my impact.

I most definitely got Brand - not bland. Phil is also a great guy to deal with and his Scottish sense of humour really helped too!
