Stuart Smith is the brand strategist, creative director and founder of The Smithy Creative. Having built an established career on both agency and client sides, he has gained a valuable understanding of managing internal demands and the pressure to deliver from the outside.

This experience allows Stuart to see solutions from multiple angles and the knowledge of how to bring brand strategy and design together to help take clients where they need to go.

‘Stuart has tons of integrity. He’s honest. He’s hardworking. He understands organisational politics and knows how to navigate through multiple reporting channels.’

Marksteen Adamson, Founding Partner,
ASHA & Co

 

The craft of collaboration

Stuart works collaboratively with every client, fostering trust and building long-term relationships – our numerous repeat clients are testament to that.

As the hands-on lead, Stuart is involved in every project at The Smithy Creative, but he can also quickly assemble a bespoke team of trusted professionals – such as artworkers, copywriters and web developers – to support him on certain projects.

This flexible, scalable model has proven both highly effective and cost-efficient in delivering excellent results for our clients.

 

The craft of clarity

We help organisations refine their strategy, sharpen their brand and communicate with confidence. In short, we listen.

That might mean guiding a full rebrand, running workshops to discover what makes you different, crafting campaigns that cut through, or supporting the delivery of complex initiatives – with you.

Whatever the project – large or small – our focus is always on creating work that reflects who you are, stands out and makes a measurable difference.

‘The Smithy Creative is great at not only connecting with the brief, but reviewing and understanding the reasons behind them, adding depth that enhances the work required.’

Gaenor Hall, Head of Fundraising,
Home for Good

 

The craft of community

We work with a wide range of clients – from charities and churches to schools and startups. That’s quite a range, but they’re all united by a single goal: to bring people together for the greater good.
