In your heart you know it’s time
for a change
Your business has so much potential to grow and become the vision you have in your mind. The one where your ideal clients can’t wait to sign up, don’t quibble over your prices and see you as the only business they want to consider.
But to get to that some things are going to have to change. Truth is that old brand style and outdated website aren’t communicating your expertise and value, when it could instead be helping you convert your visitors into revenue for your growing business.
Helping businesses standout and shine through branding and website design
Let’s talk candidly for a second, if you are reading this then it is very likely that you feel your brand or website are not performing as well as they could. Whether you originally bootstrapped your business design (let’s face it we’ve all been there!) or have a brand and website that you have outgrown and no longer fits your vision, chances are you most likely limiting the kind of growth you could be experiencing from having a hype-worthy, client-magnetising brand presence that people can’t help but talk about.
What you really want to know is…
“do I really need a standout brand to achieve this ?”
Well yes, in a nutshell you do! Standout brands are the ones that people chat about, that stick in peoples minds and are offered up as treasured and trusted ‘word of mouth’ referrals. These are highly prized forms of organic marketing that can’t be bought or faked and therefore are the holy grail for businesses.
I’m Cathrin, owner and the creative behind Social Magpie Design.
If this is the first time our paths have crossed hello and welcome. I’m a British designer who lives in the beautiful English countryside but I work with clients all over the world. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in how design fits together and how colours and fonts can instantly transform they way we feel and interact with things. I’m a firm believer in the power of design, through the stories it tells and the connections it creates.
I feel immensely lucky to spend my time working with inspirational clients who are building businesses on their own terms. Seeing a client’s reaction to their brand or website coming to life and finally feeling authentically represented is one of the best parts of my job. And our journey never ends there, I continue to support my clients long after the initial project has finished.
So why work with me?
My approach to design is personal and considered, resulting in designs that are uniquely individual to each business I work with. I like to get right to the heart of a business and find ways to weave that into the design in a way that feel effortless and natural. Timeless, approachable design is what I strive to achieve with each project.
A combination of marketing and publishing experience and design practice has shaped my approach to working with brands, helping to bring them to life and achieve transformative results for their businesses. This unique skillset helps me consider these projects from a ‘whole picture’ perspective, not just around the design but ongoing marketing, positioning and future growth.
Working collaboratively with my clients to create their brand visions is very important to me. At the end of the day I want happy clients who love their results, and achieving this is a big part of what drives me.
STUDIO VALUES
Considered
Every design element is part of a considered process - what does it convey and how does this fit within the overall design? This approach leads to design packed with intention and purpose.
Collaborative
A client’s input into the design of their brand and website is invaluable as nobody knows their business better, therefore a collaborative approach is at the heart of our process.
Empowering
There is nothing better than hearing from clients how their new brand and website has made them feel more confident, as well as having valuable tools to grow their business.
