“From initial creative discussions through to completion, the turnaround time was immense and ‘blistering speed’ does not describe it enough!
Even with significant scope changes, the commitment to quality shone throughout with a beautiful report produced.
Given the complexity of reporting deadlines and scale of the project, the process developed in a short time scale was iterative but Drew and the team worked with us every step of the way to ensure that the final product was excellent.
Would heartily recommend for any financial reporting.”
Joe Rigbey, The Co-Operative Bank

Andrew Pryde, Senior Marketing Executive, Royal College of Nursing
“Winning the pitch was one thing but the work we had contracted them to do was very complex, very important and needed to be completed to a very tight deadline. I was new to managing a design agency and we were asking the organisation to provide data it wasn't used to providing. Navig8 were endlessly patient and guided me through the process step by step through a very challenging task. Working with Drew and the team is a pleasure – they are dedicated to getting to an end solution which the client is happy with, patient with countless revisions and always able to find creative solutions to seemingly impossible tasks. Importantly they are fun to work with and able to retain a sense of humour even in challenging circumstances.”
Clare Sears, Director Serbia and Western Balkans at British Council
“When it was announced that Chris Mason had won the Medical Innovations Awards for his Automated Tissue Engineering invention we knew that we needed to maximise the amount of publicity and exposure we would be able to gain from such an event. Up until this point, we hadn’t really considered how we were going to name and brand Chris’s machine. Navig8 were amazing. We went in to see them with literally just the machine and the remit that we wanted to get as much out of this event as possible and they had just a week to do it and not a great deal of money to spend. The ideas they came up with were incredible. Especially given the fact that they had no background in the area of Tissue Engineering. They understood the concept of what we were trying to do and why. The resulting brand identity that they came up with was fantastic.”
Louise Sarup, Marketing Manager, University College London (UCL)
“I have worked closely with Drew and the team at Navig8 for many years on projects ranging from £50 to £50,000. I really appreciate their flexibility, competitive pricing and fast turnaround when we need it, as well as their willingness to take on any job to support us, no matter how small. They know us well and feel like part of the team. Thanks Drew and everyone at Navig8 for all your support, advice and work over the years.”
Emily Pelter, Senior Marketing Manager Schools and NFE, British Council
