What our clients say

Patient, resourceful, enthusiastic, and quick to understand the essence of our business and help us translate that into a very different and fresh-look website and brochure. Two vital tools to our business which we’re now very proud of and feel truly represent us. We’re looking forward to continuing this journey with Stride and continuing to grow our impact on a niche luxury market.

Director

White Cottage Greenhouses

Working with the team at Stride was a pleasure. Although the project was fairly complex, they delivered both on budget and on time. They made great suggestions as to how we could improve some designs, and really made an effort to ensure our vision was brought to fruition. I’d have no hesitation in working with them again.

When creating our brand we were immediately able to establish a rapport with Stride which enabled a free, creative exchange of ideas. Their processes and structured approach enabled us to identify ideas worthy of development and enhancement. Their attention to detail is second to none, as is their passion and ability to add value through even the smallest details.

2 years ago I was introduced to Matt and the team and have never looked back. From our initial branding to menu design to producing our new website. Everyone is so easy to deal with and nothing is too much trouble.

Andy McHale

Founder

Cowshed

We’ve partnered with Stride for a number of years now after they developed our branding, their initial concept ideas were great and they were really professional in dealing with our ongoing requests for website additions and promotional marketing material. We would certainly recommend them for any new or established company looking for a brand development and/or website.

Since working with Stride’s responsive, adaptable and reliable team, we have been able to develop a quality brand identity that truly reflects the vision and ethos of our organisation. Stride’s print and digital designs are always eye-catching and unique, helping us achieve our marketing goals and enhance our image. Their design services come highly recommended.

As we were getting ready to open Storyhouse, we asked Stride to work with us to produce practical but creative wayfinding signage throughout the building. We found the team brilliant to work with throughout the whole process. We have gone on to work with Stride for various other projects and they have proven themselves to be a reliable, efficient and very talented bunch.
