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.’

Collaboration by design

Stuart works collaboratively with every client, fostering trust and building long-term relationships – 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.

 

Strategic clarity that cuts through

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.

‘Your appeal has generated more income in three months than previous versions have in significantly more extended periods.’

Kathy Brooks, Fundraising Manager,
Scripture Union

Purpose-driven results
