Case Study

Strafe Creative

Strafe Creative is an independent design agency with a difference, not only passionate about design but they pride themselves on their philosophy of design with a conscience. Strafe Creative are intensively passionate about all design and advertise themselves as digital designers which means they cover graphic, print and web design.

They have a fresh approach to the web design industry as well which has ensured that all their work leads to more referrals because of the systems they have in place. With their philosophy of design with a conscience firmly in place they build relationships with each and every client and ensure even when a project is finished they continue to stay in contact with all clients (whether this be a phone call or a quick coffee) so that their website or designs evolve along with their business. This fresh approach has helped them grow extensively in their first year of business.

Creators Ross Davies and Patrick Dolan also take part in regular events for charity including their last event which was a gruelling 24 hour spinathon (cycling on a static bike) for the Queens Medical Hospital which is the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, where military patients from around the world receive treatment and support. With the help of their family, friends and their clients the entire event managed to raise over 5000.

As Nottingham Trent University Graduates it made perfect sense for them to enrol on the Universities business incubation course which is based in The Hive, with their mentor's help they have been able to adapt their business and have a full understanding of all the technical aspects of owning a business.

Nottingham's creative community is another reason Strafe Creative decided to land in Nottingham, from their connections while at university and having met people who work in the creative Nottingham scene, Ross and Patrick knew there was no better place for their company.

Ross Davies from Strafe Creative said: 'Having been to University in Nottingham we knew this was always going to be the best place to set up our business. I've been here for 6 years now and it's a brilliant city, especially for the creative's. The networks and creative communities within Nottingham have helped our business to flourish and expand which we are extremely thankful for.'
