About Us

We’re an award-winning, Coventry-based creative brand agency established in 2000.

We are extremely passionate about Coventry and although we work with clients both nationally and internationally, our heart will always be in the city.

Over the past two decades we have been fortunate enough to work with some fantastic companies in an array of sectors including education, sport, entertainment, hospitality, recruitment and retail, in both the public and private sector.

The majority of our clients have chosen to work with us continually since our first project together with them, some of them have been with us for over 23 years, looking on us as more than just an agency, they consider us as part of their team.

We are very proud to have been involved in some really important projects for the region including helping to bring the London 2012 Olympics to Coventry, and more recently the successful 2021 UK City of Culture bid.

We feel fortunate to live and work in a city that is as diverse as it is innovative and is built on such a rich history, where the more you look, the more you discover. A history that fascinated us as children and still surprises us today.

Our choice of studio location at Electric Wharf was no coincidence, we leapt on the opportunity to call it home for our team over 15 years ago. The mix of old and new, established but fresh thinking, we felt it mirrored us as an agency. Even the small details around the site reflect the same detail we like to build into our designs. The response from visitors to the studio as they discover what a special site it is, filled with character and history.

Our Clients

We work closely with all our customers.

Matt and the team really supported us throughout the development of our new organisation, coming up with a brand style that was innovative and fresh, yet still recognisably NHS, and then rolling it out across the new organisation. I would be more than happy to recommend them for all aspects of branding and design work.

Rose Uwins

Acting Head of Communications and Engagement | Coventry and Warwickshire CCG

We engaged with JADE to create a new identity for Coventry City of Culture Trust that felt young, diverse and engaging. We were hugely impressed with the quality of the work and have had widespread positive feedback on our new brand. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the team go far beyond the call of duty. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Laura McMillan

Director of Audience Strategy | Coventry City of Culture Trust

I am delighted to recommend JADE to any of my Coventry BID businesses as I know that they will receive expert advice and a quality product. I have worked with them for the past five years and they are my “go to” agency. Nothing is too much trouble and they always have my back, it is always great work done professionally. They go way beyond any agency I have ever worked with. Customer service is FIRST CLASS.

Trish Willetts

BID Director | Coventry BID Limited

The expertise that JADE have amassed means that they can offer something different because they really get under the skin of what we’re doing. There are always demanding deadlines where events are concerned and the team have always risen to the challenge – not only in the quality of their design but also their input to the whole event process.

Richard Lymbery

Former Operations Director | Levy UK

JADE have worked extensively for the CWLEP and the Coventry and Warwickshire Champions. Their teams respond quickly and efficiently to every task we give them and their work always displays the perfect mix of imagination and practicality. They have worked on a wide variety of tasks and have always met the brief and the deadline.

Paula Deas

Operations Director | Coventry & Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership

We are delighted with JADE as our design agency as they are totally passionate about Coventry and love everything that we work on. They are totally of the same vision as us in terms of believing in the rebuild and reset of Coventry and believe totally in community. Their ability to create professional designs exactly on point for the demographic in question is brilliant as is their ability to turn things around quickly without errors and work around the clock. They are at the heart of the Coventry community and truly believe that this is our time to shine.

Fleur Sexton

Managing Director | PET-Xi Training Limited

I’ve worked with JADE on a number of projects through a number of organisations. One of the biggest was the rebranding of Escape Live. The team were tasked with coming up with imagery that would really sell the different experiences on offer. Again they took a detailed brief, visited each experience and delivered some top class creative that was perfect for the brand and target market.

John Dalziel

Director | Escape Live Limited

We’ve had the pleasure of working with JADE on a number of projects which included a rebrand, socials and several creative videos. They just get us. Through listening to a brief and sometimes guiding and advising us, we’ve managed to collectively create a brand that’s unique in our space and one that’s getting the right level of attention.

Michael and Wes Johnson-Ellis

Co-founders | My Surrogacy Journey

We commissioned JADE to work with us on Coventry’s very first Christmas outdoor ice rink. JADE created the whole creative campaign along with the name ‘Coventry Glides’, and project managed the branding of the event, which included production and installation of a wide variety of signage and literature. The end result was stunning and extremely effective, especially being set in the iconic Cathedral Ruins. We continue to work closely with JADE, as we have done since the beginning of the City of Culture campaign a number of years ago, as we all look forward to Coventry’s year in the spotlight.

Martin Sutherland

Chief Executive | Coventry City of Culture Trust

The British Association of Landscape Industries regularly use the expertise and services of JADE with graphic design and marketing support. They were instrumental in helping our Trade Association rebrand in 2021, following a three year project, and their advice, support and guidance throughout was invaluable. They are always happy to help, with a ‘can do’ attitude, and their creativity is both refreshing and rewarding. They are, without question, one of our preferred suppliers and will remain on our books for many years to come.
