Yes, we have a range of early-stage design sprints perfect for pre-seed early-stage startups.

Our signature startup-to-scaleup program was tailored for startups who have received Series A funding and want to level up everything from branding and website to content and creative production.

In short yes. Brand and business strategy are fundamental to the success of any project. So even if you have done your own internal research we require time to assess and do our own to ensure the project is a winner for you and also for us. It doesn't look good to have failed companies on the roster.

All our projects include a brand strategy workshop and discovery process. Ranging from a couple of days to months of work depending on the project.

Two weeks––we have a handy new client handbook which explains step by step exactly what it is like to work with us and what you need to get up to speed to make the most of us.

We split our projects into two-week phases of dedicated fast-paced work, resulting in better work in less time. This means you can go to market faster and keep your costs down.

East coast babaaaay.

Typically 3-4 creatives will be working on your account. You will work with either Matt or Max as creative directors, a strategist and copywriter, and a couple of designers and developers.  We try to give all clients a dedicated designer so you can form a relationship and get to know your brand inside out. Occasionally we need to swap people about for holidays and training purposes but you will be on first-name terms!

Yes, design is simply a strategy made visible. Without a brand strategy, you risk creating an identity for your company that repels potential customers and communicates the opposite values you hold dear as a leader. Not to mention it might look crap.

The verdict is out. Max thinks so while half the team strongly and vocally disagrees every time we get pizza.

Yes, we have a program called Overpass Flex. We understand the work we do takes months to deliver but creates value for years so we allow you to pay for it over a longer period with 0% interest.

Depending on the size of the project we offer 6, 12 and 24-month payment plans, allowing you to spend the equivalent of a single hire a month on high-value work. This results in a longer runway and a true partnership.

Yes. Whether you’re going to build your own web experience or use another studio, we can still be on hand to guide your brand to its next stage.

For sure. Our team have broad experience in both building brands from the ground up and breathing new life into existing brands.

Artificial intelligence can be an incredibly useful tool—as long as you know how to put it into use. We’re continually expanding our use of AI as the tools develop, from image generation and blog outlining to creative brainstorming and organisation.

A significant part of our process involves developing a critical and wide-reaching knowledge of your business and sector. It’s one of the first things we do and a process that informs every aspect of your designs.

Because you’re not just getting a designer, but a full creative studio team with a broad range of skillsets and interests.

1. We’re more focused: We’re not trying to do it all, but to serve a very specific type of company at a very specific stage of growth. We’d rather be best-in-class at two things, than pretty good at most.
2. We’re more personable: Clients often remark that we feel like an internal design team. Not only are we quick to respond, but you’ll have designated designers and strategists who will know your project intimately.
3. You’ll leave understanding your designs: Throughout your journey with us, we’ll continually talk you through the decisions we’re making, giving you the fundamental design knowledge to help inform a successful strategy.

Excellent coffee, entertaining conversation and unparalleled honesty.

Of course—we’re brilliant secret keepers. For example, PepperHQ once told us tha… Goodness, you almost had us.

A big fat cheque. Just kidding, who uses cheques anymore anyway? We almost always start with conversation and coffee. From there, we’ll work together on a brief for the creative team.

Our tried and tested processes all but guarantee a great outcome, but if we don’t hit the nail on the head first time, we’ll keep going until you have exactly what you envisioned!

Definitely, we promise we don’t pay them to say nice things.

How nosey 👃, but of course. Drop us an email with some details about yourself and we’ll send you the goods.

Not all of it, we designed our portfolio to give you a great overview of our skillset and favourite projects.

Overpass currency 💰. Designed to give you the most bang-for-your-buck and make it easy to manage your budgets.

It means that nothing is out of scope. It means no stress over budgets. It means the designs you need, exactly when you need them.

We’d love to welcome you to the studio in Brighton. If you’re lucky, we might even take some drinks down to the beach once the creative work is done. 🌴

• Webflow for website development
• Airtable for content management
• After Effects for animation
• Photoshop for images
• Figma for design
• Illustrator for drawing pretty things

Of course—we’ll even walk you through our work and show you some best design practices.

This is a big one. Got to be mayonnaise for versatility. Not sure how it would cope with the heat though.

This isn’t a one-night stand… We continue to develop lasting relationships with many of the brands we work with. We do this not only to ensure you get the most out of our designs but to ensure that they stay up-to-date, relevant and continue to speak to your audience.

With a healthy obsession and a bucket load of curiosity. Whilst we’re pretty strict on keeping a work-life balance and closing our laptops at 5pm, you’ll often find us reading, watching or listening to the latest in design and branding.

One of our core missions at Overpass is to bring clients into the design process. We want you to understand the design thinking behind your brand, feedback on our process and decisions, and create the products your customers will enjoy for years to come.

Laptop, desktop, iPad, iPhone, android, flip phone, Nokia 3210 or landline. You name it, we’ll make it work seamlessly.

We see Webflow as the future of the industry—it’s no code, no hassle and no stress.

‍

Easy peasy. In fact, why not take a look for yourself at one of our e-commerce builds?

Unlike other agencies, you’ll be involved in our whole process, collaborating on design decisions and understanding our rationale. That means fewer revisions and more refined outcomes—but of course, we’re here should changes be needed.

We’ve got a few questions before we dish out a date. Why not reach out for a free brand consultation?

Of course!

Either or! Our experience is far-reaching with projects from global companies that have guidelines hundreds of pages long, to startups who are just finding their feet.

We don’t like to rush creativity, if we can’t produce something great, we’ll likely encourage you to go elsewhere. But hey, no harm in asking.

Of course! Whilst many of our team work remotely, we always have a team of designers working from the studio in Brighton.

Yes—and we do regularly! Our web-design process and brand workshops have been built from the ground up to be highly effective in a remote environment.

No need to spend ages writing a brief or considering every detail at this stage, let’s start with a coffee and go from there.

No problem! In fact, why not check out Telmi, a brand we built from scratch with a whole universe of illustrative characters...

We don’t rush into development—each step of our process has been considered to create cohesive a narrative and designs that feel just right.

Overpass is built on a set of brand principles that target ethical and sustainable design. We hold ourselves to the highest level of social and moral accountability and won’t settle for anything less.

Yes. We have designers specifically trained in the leading animation and motion graphic platforms who can help bring your brand to life.

Definitely—and it wouldn’t be the first time! We believe that great design is not a competition, but rather a shared mission to create something that puts a user's needs above everything else.
