We provide a hands-on service from senior consultants with extensive experience and know how, which we enjoy sharing with our clients. We have a reputation for exceeding client expectations and our client relationships endure.

Creative

Our view is that no one company can guarantee to have experts in all the many and varied skill areas a design agency is often required to provide. We have over a number of years built up strong working partnerships with specialists, many of whom work side-by-side with us in our London office. They are hand-picked and share our work values. We create a team of experts to deliver each project and this has proved resoundingly successful for our clients.

We have worked with Langsford on a number of projects, including our Annual Report, and have been pleased with the excellent working relationship and consistently appropriate and effective solutions.

We spoke to a number of agencies, but chose Langsford because they really understood our communication challenge and how to successfully connect with our client audience. On a personal level, they were a delight to deal with at every stage of the project - which is also helpful!

Our experience of working with Paul and his team has been a superb one. They manage to combine an understanding of our strategic commercial needs with practicality and creativity.

Tinkering with a flawed brand identity never works. We used our know how to show the client the possibilities and benefits a new brand identity could offer. The solution quickly enhanced the image and marketing of this leading mortgage packaging network.
