ABOUT
Hi there!
Based in Hertfordshire, Clockwork Creative is a small, flexible and approachable creative agency. We deliver strategic branding, graphic design, web and digital solutions underpinned by exceptional customer service.
Combining a broad skill set and many years of big corporate and agency experience, we work on projects that span the end-to-end customer journey. A brand, design or website is so much more than just looking the part, it has to perform a function and represent your business. Check out the services page to see what we can do and how we can help you.
We work with all kinds of clients from small to medium across a range of industries spanning aerospace engineering, catering, insurance, wealth management and charities, landscapers, celebrity makeup artists and trades people. Even though our work is diverse, the quality of our service and work remains consistent, creating long-term client relationships that we pride ourselves on.
The agency is made up of Debbie, Owner and Creative Director at Clockwork Creative, and trusted freelancers that we collaborate with depending on a client’s requirements. We ensure any partners we work with also share our values.
OUR VALUES
Our values aren’t just buzzwords that we think people want to hear. Our values underpin everything we do and act as our guiding principles in the way we do business, interact and communicate. We feel the combination of our values and our approach is what really sets us apart from other agencies.
CREATIVITY
Creativity is probably our most core value at Clockwork Creative. We believe it should be embodied at every level and in every form, whether that’s challenging the norm and the way we look at things, to being bold and innovative with our ideas. Not only ideas for client work, but ideas that help develop our business, and new solutions that further improve our service and processes.
PASSION
We love what we do and are passionate about our performance. Our aim is to not only meet expectations but to exceed them and to delight our clients. We want our clients to enjoy working with us. We are committed to achieving our goals and we’re invested in helping our clients achieve theirs, and are prepared to go the extra mile to do so.
Authenticity
Being true to who we are is really important in making sure that all of our professional relationships are the right fit. We think being genuine, honest and transparent about who we are and our point of view is key to a successful working relationship. This allows us to achieve the best possible outcomes because we genuinely connect with clients and care about their success.
OPENNESS
We believe that nothing is that good that it can’t be even better. This requires openness, sharing our knowledge and information, and a willingness to listen, taking all feedback on board. Being open not only allows us to build trust, it means we consider new ideas and ways of doing things to constantly improve.
Our approach + processes
We pride ourselves on delivering a first class client experience and by working with Clockwork Creative you can expect a tailored approach to your suit needs. We recognise there’s no one size fits all, and every business we work with deserves the benefit of our commitment to understanding their brand, objectives and desired audiences.
Working collaboratively is an important part of our approach and we’ll begin with a chat over email, call/Zoom or even grab a coffee (if you’re local!) to talk about your project. After our initial discussion to get to know you and your business, we’ll put together a quote or proposal. Should you proceed we’ll create a Statement of Work (SoW) that details requirements, project timelines and deliverables, as well as terms and conditions.
The next steps in our creative process are dependent on the project, but we aim to ensure you are kept informed by regular and transparent communication, ensuring expectations are set at every stage. We believe that the project rigour and processes we have in place is one of the things that sets us apart from other agencies and creative professionals.
the team
Debbie
Founder + Creative Director + Designer
Hi, I’m Debbie – I design, create new brands, build websites, and project manage the whole process. After spending 17 years working for businesses from SMEs to FTSE 100 brands, in 2019 I left the corporate hustle to start my own creative business. Full of aspirations and inspired by my love of clocks, Clockwork Creative Consultancy was born. I also like to think Clockwork is a really great way to describe the experience of working with us – we’re easy to work with, projects run smoothly and to the agreed plan and timescales.
Having formed a passion for art and design in my early teens, I knew then that I wanted to pursue a creative career. After graduating in graphic design and illustration in 2003, I went straight into a marketing department designing brochures and I have held creative and digital roles ever since. I’ve held management roles within design, brand, marketing and digital teams, and achieved further professional qualifications along the way in Marketing, Agile Project Management and User Experience (UX).
