Here's what our clients are saying...
Fowler & Powell, Chapel Allerton, Leeds, UK
Super fun, 100% worth the investment
"Our understanding of branding was zero to none before this process, and letting the reins go was probably the main anxiety. But after the first three years of just starting the business and being super zoned-in on getting the best results for clients, we started to really realise that the brand doesn't look and sound like us.
The most exciting part was the very first deep dive. We thought it might be a bit boring because we hate talking about what we’ve done, our process and all that sort of stuff. We’ve spent years doing that. But they made it super fun to talk about what we do and why we do it.
Marcus and Ashley have a knack of being able to really find out about who you are as a person, and as a business owner. They’re making all these notes, linking things together. It gives you so much clarity on what you stand for and how you should look and feel across the board.
They were amazing because of the educational part. We now know that a brand is not just the look, but it can have a brand voice, and you can’t even begin to comprehend how many different pieces of the puzzle come together.
Now you walk outside and see “Fowler and Powell”, but you walk in, you meet the team, you meet us — it’s all cohesive. And that’s what we now know about branding. When we first started going through the rebranding, a lot of people were saying: “You look fine as you are. Why are you bothering doing it?”.
But since we've gone back to those people, they love the new brand and completely understand why we've done it. They can see that this is a lot more welcoming and warming in terms of how we look and how we feel.
For anybody who's thinking about going through the same process now — they're a bit lost in terms of their own company and their branding — it is 100% worth the investment. They will get clarity on how they should sound, how they should look, and how they should feel for every single client that walks through the door. They'll know exactly who their clients are and can tailor to them and only them."
Fisterra Co, Brighton, UK
Easy and fun to work with
"Cut through the confusion and created a brand identity and beautiful website that looks slick and professional whilst keeping the essence and personality. So easy and fun to work with, the process is smooth and enjoyable. Cannot recommend enough!"
Kandoo Events, Sheffield, UK
A rare portfolio of skills
“Marcus has a rare portfolio of skills. Not only is he very adept with the technicalities and inner workings of building a full turn key website, he also has the creative eye, and top design skills to bring everything together into one functional and aesthetically top notch result. I've certainly never encountered anyone who can do both to a high level until now.
He did an exceptional job on a full website refresh for our events company. He's taken an outdated website and brought it firmly into the 21st century with clean, modern, simple design that's fully optimised for mobile and all other devices, which is such a key part of our UX.
Marcus is also relaxed, easy going, yet highly professional, taking great pride in the work he delivers. If you are looking for a website refresh where you are guided through the process from an expert who knows what looks best, but also puts great emphasis on the technical aspects to create the best possible user experience then you're in very safe hands with Marcus."

Oppo Consulting,

Helped me to clearly articulate my brand's values, goals and unique selling points
"Wadsworth Branding are absolute masters at what they do! I approached Marcus to help me to create a brand for my own business after seeing what a beautiful job had been done with for an organisation that I had been working with.
I had not long started my own business and Wadsworth Branding helped me to clearly articulate my brand's values, goals and unique selling points. Wadsworth took them time to really get to know me through collaboration sessions and were able to refine and translate my thoughts into a meaningful and cohesive visual identity that is not only authentic to me but resonates with my target market.
Wadsworth Branding skillfully combines design, storytelling and strategic thinking. Wadsworth are excellent communicators, they were always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates on progress.
I could not recommend Wadsworth Branding more. Thank you Wadsworth Branding for helping me to create a brand that I am proud of...I am looking forward to working with you again in the future."

Sheffield, UK
Gives you that WOW moment
"The best designers I've ever worked with PERIOD. And as a copywriter, I've worked with a few!
Marcus' empathic communication, highly developed design skills, and truly exquisite eye combine to make Wadsworth Branding one of the best routes I can think of to get a quality, timeless brand designed. Along with his partner Ashley, you just feel completely helped and reassured in the entire process of building a brand.
I've collaborated with Marcus on sizeable projects after recommending him to my clients, and been blown away by what he and his team brought to the project. When it came to investing in my own new brand — it wasn't a hard choice to make.
I'm nothing short of thrilled by how accurately my dream and unique position feels represented. If you want to spend your design budget in the right place, and work with someone who will listen and create something that gives you (and your customers) that WOW moment — Wadsworth Branding is the correct choice."

Merrick Martins, Essex, UK
Helps brands discover their potential
“It was a real pleasure to work with Marcus. He communicates well to gain a deeper understanding of the business you are trying to build. He asked questions about my past as well as where I want to go, in doing this he has made something that I am not going to grow out of but still reflects how my business started. Not only is Marcus an excellent designer but he is also a really nice person looking to help brands discover their potential.”
Fosche, Swansea, Wales, UK
Lost for words
“There are so many positives when working with Marcus, I don't know where to start. Marcus is a professional man who is easy to talk to and intelligent. He has contributed some really crucial points that will benefit my business. His logo design skills got me lost for words - everything he suggests makes sense and has a meaning behind it. I fully recommend Marcus, it's been a great experience from start to end.”
