"Working with The Idea Engine has been nothing short of a delight"
Louise Miller-Marshall - Principle - Pilton Community College
They are creative and innovative, and have helped transform our buildings and our image, giving us a massive injection of vibrancy. They are an integral part of the Pilton team and absolutely work to get the very best for the school and our students. They are passionate about what they do, and that passion is very infectious! They are flexible and responsive and utterly committed to what they are doing. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
"Bringing back the fun and creativity into satellite"
Irina Petrov - Marketing Director - Onlime Business Communications
The Idea Engine are an incredibly talented team who can relate to the individual customer needs. Not only did they create the brand that is stylish and recognisable but also helped me to fulfil my desire of shaking up our rather tired industry and brought back the fun and creativity into satellite.

Their innovative way of wrapping a brand to get a unanimous “buy in” from a Board with contrasting views was almost as impressive.

"Great service with great results"
Karl Seeley MNAEA - Partner - Bond Oxborough Phillips Estate Agents
The Idea Engine were a great help and were always willing to go above and beyond. The Idea Engine helped us with the design of our rebrand. They took the time to find out about our business and help us choose the branding that best suited/benefitted our organisation. We were helped to make good choices and we are particularly impressed with their design skill set and customer service. Their knowledge of their services and ability to match these to our needs certainly made a big difference.
The Idea Engine were a pleasure to do business with. I most certainly enjoyed and appreciated working alongside them. I have no hesitation in recommending The Idea Engine. Great service with great results!

"Transformed the appearance of our school"
Rose Budge - Head of Marketing - Pilton Community College
We have used The Idea Engine to revamp and update the image of our school. They took over the marketing project and have transformed the appearance of the entrance of the school, together with our publications and certain areas of the site.
It has been a pleasure to work with Mark and his team; they listened to us, and took on board our ideas. They were able to engage with all our staff, and worked around the 1300 pupils and 200 staff involved in the daily school bustle. They have been motivational and have helped to strengthen the community feeling of the school.
They deliver as promised and went beyond our expectations. The school now has a light and modern feel, with practical and aesthetic visual features incorporated in their designs to an exceptionally high standard.
"A great success"
Cathy Whormsley - Head of Marketing - John Fowler Holiday Parks
We have been working with the Idea Engine for over 12 months now. They helped us build a new brand identity for our main brand and also for a sub brand. The results were a fresher, brighter looking brand which has lifted our marketing material and company image across the board. Our 2014 brochure has been a great success and we look forward to building on this for years to come.

Our company was expanding which involved moving to a larger premises and we considered a new corporate identity was needed.

"They really are branding heroes"

For any business, rebranding can feel like balancing on a pin. We are proud to work with The Idea Engine. They really are branding heroes. The Idea Engine take an existing brand and seem to dip it in sunshine, so that everyone is excited about the brand again and where it can go.
If Superman needed a rebrand and The Idea Engine were commissioned to do so I have no doubt that Superman would be more capable than ever of saving the world!

"Simply delightful"

The Idea Engine is a breath of fresh air when it comes to ideas! They ask the right questions about your company and listen to what you need, they then come up with a bright, clear and fun image that is just perfect for your brand.
We immediately bought into their vision of our company and have worked with them ever since. Their passion and enthusiasm will match your own and this is carried through into the brand and everything the brand touches. We have even changed our internal policies to support the vision and we all live and breathe our brand values everyday. I cannot reccommend The Idea Engine highly enough, they are simply delightful!

"Not only met expectations, but exceeded them on every occasion."
Robert May - Owner - Rummage4
"As an innovative internet search system that’s already quietly been discovered in over 110 countries worldwide it was always going to be a challenge to find a graphic design partner to meet the exacting standards we demand of ourselves. Despite an exhaustive national search (just to check) we simply could not equal the attention, service and delivery provided by Mark. After securing investment that accelerated our growth beyond expectation, the pressure to keep pace with 3 agile development teams meant we requested some outrageously tight deadlines and expectations on Mark, he not only met those expectations but exceeded them on every occasion.
Mark has a brave and intuitive design confidence, he has given us the boldness of design we need to help us stand out and compete against major, nationally, recognised brands.
As our system goes from concept to reality Mark has given our system the credibility to attract both attention and investment.
The idea engine is now an essential and integral part of my company. The calls to Mark only ever need to be brief; he listens, he gets it, he delivers! Superb!"

"As we approached our “10 year in business” mark, we asked The Idea Engine to look at our existing brand for us so that it reflected the company we are now. Without asking them to, The Idea Engine went out and spoke to our customers to find out what they really valued about working with us. We were really pleased that they took the time to do this and they then went on to create something that was unique, current and really meaningful. We as a team were absolutely delighted with what they did. In addition to this, they are brilliant to work with and nothing is too much trouble. Last minute jobs are never a problem and they really do work in partnership with us. We really value them as a key asset to our business."
