Client Testimonials

“We engaged Cousin to help us articulate both our values and our relentless focus on product quality and delivery. Despite the new working norms brought about by Covid-19, Cousin steered us carefully to a refocused brand that perfectly represents who we are today. A big thank you to Chrissy, Gillian and Lynsay for delivering a brand that delights both our staff and customers alike.”

Sinead Higgins - Business Director, Decision Time

“It felt as though Cousin were part of my business - there was instant trust and connection. I wanted to develop a new brand and website, but the process that I followed with Cousin lead me to focus on my overall strategy and direction. The outcome has been greater than I could have anticipated.”

Gemma Tucker, Founder & Interior Designer, Balance Interior Design

“Working with Cousin gave me so much reassurance. I knew that I had a team I could trust, and I didn’t have to take valuable time out of my day to manage a huge project - they immersed themselves in our world, and delivered.”

Karen Lynch, Managing Director, KiwiOz Nannies

“Cousin was a breath of fresh air. Untroubled by the usual tiresome tropes, they unlocked the real message behind my business and gave me a clear go-to-market proposition. I am truly inspired by the results and would recommend Cousin to anyone ready to embrace their uniqueness.”

Neil Smith, Founder & Consulting Partner, Inproe

“I have worked with a lot of large marketing and PR agencies over the years, but none have understood, lived and delivered a brief like Cousin. They delivered something way beyond brand assets - they articulated my inner thoughts and feelings as to how I wanted to be seen.”

Adam Giles, Founder & Life Coach, Primal Balance Collective

“Cousin's potent blend of industry expertise, passion and perceptiveness has given me the confidence to finally make the jump from pipe dream to a living breathing brand. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure.”

Lucy Paterson, Founder & Nutritional Therapist, Swell Health

“Cousin, you always go above and beyond and I love it! You're such bloody doers and the quality of your product is always fantastic. Honestly, it is a pleasure working with you.”

David Birtwistle, Founder, Endeavour

When you work with Cousin, you’ll only work with the same three directors of brand, design and strategy.

Having our ‘A team of three’ dedicated to your project has major benefits for your brand and your bottom line.

 

How we work

 

As one team

No one knows your business like you - but we aim to get as close as possible, so we can work as part of one team – your team. Ready to unearth the nuggets of gold hidden in plain sight.

 

With a curious mind

Keeping the business goal in mind, we ask questions to unearth useful information and consider facts and perspectives to reach informed conclusions.

 
 

In an agile mannor

With the freedom to apply expertise and craft in the ways that benefit you, we can evaluate quickly and scale up when projects demand, or pivot as we learn more about your business needs.

 

With open & honest communication

Our goal is to deliver a brand that’s fit for purpose and future proofed. We will always be open and honest about what you need, what’s possible and what’s not. Our “yes” means something.

 

If you are ready to think strategically about your brand and communications, we’d love to hear from you.
