Hello, we’re Brother. We’re a graphic design agency based in London and Bath, specialising in branding, web design and advertising. The world’s not short of brand consultancies, so why are we different?

Well, the name’s a clue. Brother is led by designers Piers and Dominic Rutterford. As well as a surname and countless strands of DNA, we share a belief that good design shows on the bottom line. That makes it a serious business activity – and we treat it that way.

We immerse ourselves in our clients’ brands. We get to know their hopes, their fears – and their competitors. Then we share our ideas as simply as we can, without marketing jargon and pseudo-science.

Rather than imposing a fixed process on clients, we talk to them in their own language and involve them in the insight and design journey.

It’s a collaborative, straight-talking approach that clearly works. We’ve a portfolio of long-term clients of almost every size in almost every sector. Today Brother is a kindred creative spirit to major charities as well as leading businesses in healthcare, finance, education and the arts.

Not that we haven’t space for one more. Whether you’re a household name, a start-up, or anywhere in between, discover what openness, commitment and brotherly love can do for your brand.

Brand strategy and design

Branding clearly highlights what makes your product or service different to, and more attractive than, your competitors. It not only positions your product or service in the marketplace, it also helps cement it in the minds of your audience. That’s why, at Brother, we take the time necessary to know your business inside out.

“We’ve been with Piers and Dom for over three years and from the very start we have felt extremely fortunate to have them as our designers. The quality of their work speaks for itself but it’s also their refreshing ideas and willingness to listen and work together that make it such a pleasure to work with them.”

Philip CattertonCEO, Integra Global

“We absolutely love it, everyone I have given it to has asked who designed it!!”

Jodie EastwoodCEO, Knowledge Quarter

“…a culmination of so much care, time and creativity that you ploughed into the brand work for Barnwood. Thank you again, I feel very fortunate to have been along on that journey with you.”

Jessica WatermanHead of Communications & Marketing, Barnwood Trust

“Brother have really helped the Knowledge Quarter brand come to life. They used their design and technical skills to develop a logo, website and a number of design pieces for the Knowledge Quarter. I would highly recommend Brother as a small, yet efficient and smart agency that will work hard to meet a client’s brief.”

Miki LentinHead of communications, British Library

“…we received such a positive response for the last catalogue. Not only is it a beautiful catalogue, but it is probably the most effective and successful catalogue we’ve had in twenty years.”

Joseph CoplinAntiquarium

“I’ve worked with Piers & Dominic for a couple of years and their creativity, flexibility and efficiency always amazes me! They very quickly understand the organisational culture, or project, that they are trying to represent and find beautiful, fun and unique ways of representing its essence.”

Ningeri PanditProject Director, NHS England

“…new Wellcome Collection brand is proving a joy to work with and the collateral that’s being rolled out looks fantastic. Piers and Dominic have done an amazing job and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Sam HillBrand Manager, Wellcome Collection

“Working with Piers and Dominic has been an absolute pleasure. They took our organisation through a consultation process on brand and had unanimity from trustees down to our users. We’re very proud of what we do so wouldn’t entrust our identity to anyone lightly, we’re delighted with how Piers and Dominic have represented us, and are looking forward to working with them again in the future.”
