Some of our clients know us as designers and builders of unusually effective Web sites. Some use us to produce ad campaigns, that change minds and make sales. For others, we design packs, POS material, internal motivation campaigns or even exhibition stands and conferences. As one of our clients once said: "You're a design shop that thinks. A Web consultancy with strategies. An ad agency that cares about design." And our work works because it's based on our love of brands.

The Foundry, one of the UK’s top 50 design agencies is celebrating 10 years of award-winning design in June 2008.
Co-founded by Kevin Murphy (Creative Director & Managing Director) and Ian McKay (E-Business Director), the company's third board member is Client Services Director Zoe Connolly, who joined in 2002.
The agency’s core desire is to create “remarkable branding”, according to Murphy.
“The agency has been built on strong client relationships – we challenge them, add value and strive to exceed expectations. We are a mature agency, we understand the need to drive sales now and also build brands for the future”.
Spearheaded by Ian McKay, The Foundry’s E-Business department is one of the company’s fastest growing areas. Ian said: “Websites are now crucial to our clients' business objectives. Achieving success on the Internet requires holistic thinking: great design, technical integrity, on-line visibility, solid usability and user friendliness”.
The Foundry has won a number of significant design and marketing awards over their 10 years including “World Medal” for Best Consumer Website “Dewar's Whisky” and Gold at the “Globals” for Best Healthcare web site worldwide for “Skincare World”. More recently, The prestigious “Presidents Award” at the 2008 International Summit Awards is a reward for the company's philosophy and clients' belief in them.
Murphy also said “What a fantastic 10 years we’ve had. We’ve achieved a great deal for clients and ourselves. We are constantly surprised by our achievements, although we shouldn't be because The Foundry is full of talented people. We have a first-class team looking after our clients' every need, producing the best work they can – this is such an exciting place to be right now.”
