Ave is an independent, ideas-led studio that works solely with charities, membership organisations, not-for-profit organisations and the public sector to ensure these organisations communicate with their audiences effectively.
With an ethical outlook and creative edge, we offer strategic, intelligent design and brand consultancy without the big studio price tag. Founded in 2013, Ave has one simple vision – to produce beautiful and effective design for great organisations and causes.
Collaborating with organisations we love and believe in, we work hard to really get to know our clients so we can push, evolve and reshape their brand identities and communications with our holistic approach. Our extensive experience in the charity and not-for-profit sector means we have invaluable understanding and insight into the unique set of branding and design challenges such organisations can face.
We are a full service agency, taking on projects that span across insight, strategy, creative, digital and moving image. There is no minimum project value, meaning we work on communications challenges of all shapes and sizes. We have been specialising in working for charities, membership organisations, not-for-profit and cause-driven brands since our inception in 2013. We also work with organisations on their corporate social responsibility, sustainability and environmental offerings.
Our services are designed to meet the branding and communications challenges that you face. We are focussed on creating solutions that are intelligent and insight-led so that we can ensure the work we produce can deliver real change to your audiences.
