The market so far…
I can already tell you what I’m going to be doing this summer. I’m frantically going to be tweeting “branding designers needed”!
With agencies like The Brand Union, Anthem and Bloom (to mention a few), being hailed as ‘destination’ agencies for many clients right now, I have seen a massive up swell in retail and FMCG branding.
We all know who the big players are, and yes they continue to do well. But with the government focus shifting to new businesses and the investment in start ups, I’ve noticed a number of smaller, leaner, boutique branding agencies who are really ramping up their freelance and perm design and production requirements.
If you have been on the all-things-digital band wagon (and we love that one), it might be a good time to dust off your branding, illustration and visualisation samples because the market is super busy in this area right now.

So, think of me this summer, when you’re in the beer garden having lunch – no doubt I will be tweeting ‘branding designers needed’ like a mad man.
