Baxter & Bailey is a brand design agency. We are digitally focused, multi award-winning and ethically conscious.
Founded by Matt Baxter and Dom Bailey in 2012, we’re currently a team of nine people specialising in the areas of brand strategy, brand identity, brand communications and brand environments. We work for all kinds of clients in all kinds of sectors, but we’re perhaps best known for our work in arts and culture, education, charity and not-for-profit, and publishing.
We’re here to do the work we believe in, for clients we admire. For us, that means brand-focused design and digital communications that make a tangible difference to audiences and a positive impact in the world.
We’ve been around long enough to know that really great things only happen when both studio and client share an ambition to create something of lasting value. The point is to do work that matters. Work you care about. Work you can look back on and feel proud of. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
