About us - who we are
Over 30 years as a Staffordshire creative agency
Be Smart Design is a Staffordshire creative agency founded with a simple idea: clients should feel looked after, understand what is happening and be proud of the work they receive. More than 30 years later, that still shapes how we work.
We’ve grown from our early days into a Staffordshire creative agency, working across branding, graphic design, websites and communications for businesses, public sector organisations and social housing providers. Since 2003, we’ve worked from West End Studio, our converted church in Gailey, Staffordshire.
Over the years we’ve worked with organisations including National Grid, Staffordshire County Council, Rolls-Royce, Bromford and Livv Housing, alongside ambitious SMEs and owner-managed businesses. Whatever the size of the client, the approach is the same: understand the real problem first, then create work that solves it.
We turn complicated briefs into clear, distinctive brands and communications that people actually want to engage with.
How we work
When good just won’t do -
Our mission is creative greatness.
We’re authentic to the core -
A real business helping real clients with real challenges.
We’re bold, brave and smart -
Approaching projects with confidence and pushing boundaries.
We question the norm -
Always exploring, innovating and breathing life into the ordinary.
We’re unconditionally supportive -
Going out of our way to be friendly, generous and considerate to everyone we collaborate with.
Over the years, our Staffordshire creative agency has worked with organisations of all shapes and sizes, from major national brands and public sector bodies to social housing providers and owner-managed businesses. Whatever the sector or size of the project, the principle is the same: understand the real challenge first, then create work that solves it.
