Brand strategy and design for leaders, teams and organisations that do good.
I work with purpose-led businesses, charities and social enterprises to build brands that are honest, distinctive and built to last. That means starting with strategy, understanding what you really stand for and making sure the design reflects it. If your organisation does good work, it deserves a brand that shows it.
"Working with Chris Dowdall has made a real difference for us. His guidance in developing our brand strategy and culture has helped us focus on what’s most important and connect with our clients and customers in a more meaningful way.
Chris also showed us the importance of visuals, photography, and messaging, helping us see how they can make a lasting impact. His calm, engaging approach fit seamlessly with our team, and he’s been a great partner in shaping our culture and growth. We continue to work with him on projects, and we can't recommend him enough!"
- Jacqui Taylor, CEO, Lifelink
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris for many years, and he remains my go-to expert for all things brand-related.
What I admire most about Chris is his ability to balance passion with a relaxed, effortless approach – making even the most complex challenges feel easy. He takes the time to truly understand your business, guiding you through a journey that results in innovative strategies and ideas. I trust Chris implicitly and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional brand expertise."
- Caroline Gunn, Managing Director, Property Response 24 Ltd
"Our business is continually evolving and the ongoing support by Chris has been exceptional. Chris has listened extensively and has helped transform the business with our brand story, values, vision, visual identity and branded comms. Chris is always open to ideas and to see how far we can push a concept, and it's fascinating to see how Chris brings our ideas to life.
I can honestly say it’s been a pleasure to work with Chris. He cares about our business, our brand and on a personal level always asks after our family or loved ones. All of this is vital to making a relationship a success."
- Scott Wylie, Managing Director of Coronet Services
"I've worked with Chris for many years in the industry and therefore trusted him to help deliver the brand strategy and branding for my property investment business, Mila Homes. We named the company after our pet labrador Mila, and so we wanted to convey a warm, friendly and loyal brand to our clients.
Chris could not have been more accommodating, and I would highly recommend him. We've now seen a 5 fold increase in uplift in both investor and home seller enquiries."
- Gillian Green, Director of MIla Homes
"Chris has made a monumental impact on my business. When creating a brand for my marketing agency I needed a brand identity that was striking and showed I was an expert. Mavens stands for a trusted expert. Marketing Mavens = Your trusted expert in marketing. Chris more than managed to capture this from the brief. It was a pleasure working with Chris. He was able to create my vision when others could not.
Every person I meet they always mention how much they love my brand. It is also great when people say they have seen it before – proving that it stands out from the crowd."
- Mark Connolly, Managing Director of Marketing Mavens
