Seamlessly blending strategy and creativity to create compelling brand propositions & stories.
Glorious Creative is an independent, award-winning branding and design agency based in Manchester’s thriving Northern Quarter. Since establishing the agency in 2002, we have been immersed in all things brand, from creation, re-positioning and re-imagining, to implementing, developing and managing.
At Glorious, everything we do starts with the brand. Initially, it may take the form of a workshop or simply listening hard to the brand backstory – it’s whatever it takes to make sure the brand vision, mission and positioning are in place. We ensure the strategic thinking is robust and truly reflects the ambition of the organisations we work with.
Once we’ve gained a comprehensive understanding of the business and the market it occupies, we collaborate closely with clients to communicate the brand consistently and coherently across channels, connecting it with its core audiences and utilising a range of services to take your brand wherever you want it to go.
We believe in process and over the course of 20+ years have refined and perfected our working method and approach to ensure efficient and effective project outcomes.
When founded in 2002 by experienced designers Mark Ross and Tom Shaughnessy, the agency adopted two guiding principles: Ensure the designer remains at the core of the process, in order to safeguard the lines of communication. Allow the client to have direct and frequent access to the creative team, thereby encouraging genuine collaboration that results in the nurturing of a meaningful working relationship.
This working method provides the perfect platform from which to produce highly creative and commercially effective work, without the need for account handlers or design managers. Work that clients and our creatives can be equally proud of.
