A little bit about us

The core team above has been together for almost a decade, a year after Michael and Gail took over the agency (having previously been clients of it). At that time – and for several years afterwards – the agency was called Blue Moon Creative. The switch to Real Branding was made to reflect the advice we so often gave to clients: for a small business like ours to attract high quality corporates, our specialisms and strengths should be blindingly obvious from the start.

Being small can be challenging at times of peak demand. Despite this, we rarely sub-contract creative work, preferring instead to out-source the back office functions which enable us to run efficiently, to regular suppliers and cloud software.
