“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

“We had the pleasure of cooperating with Navig8, and we couldn't be more satisfied with their professionalism and dedication to quality. Their meticulous work and attention to detail were evident at every stage of our project. Navig8 consistently provided prompt and to-the-point responses, ensuring efficient communication. They proved to be reliable, adhering to the specifications given while also applying a critical eye to the content, which prevented many mistakes in the final outcome. I highly recommend Navig8 as they are trustworthy and committed to excellence.”

Eirini Kareta, EU Programme Manager and Business Development, Education and Society, British Council

“Navig8 has become our indispensable partner in design and marketing, far exceeding the role of a mere supplier. Their team possesses a profound understanding of our audience and strategic objectives, consistently collaborating with us to deliver exceptional value to our members and the residents of Fitzrovia. Their creative approach and meticulous attention to detail have earned our unwavering trust, a quality that we find truly invaluable.”

Lee Lyons, Chief Operating Officer, The Fitzrovia Partnership

“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

“Many thanks for the swift and professional response to my request to re-design our guide and website this year. As ever you have turned what was potentially a major headache into a smooth running, efficient process with the minimum of fuss – as ever a service I can depend upon. ”

Dori Francis, Head of UNISON, Open College, UNISON

“We always go to Navig8 when we want innovation in a project or campaign. What we get back from them is that and so much more! You can always depend on them to create work with bags of style and 'nailed on artwork'

I like working with Navig8 they always push the boundaries of your own perceptions and they are always spot on. Of the moment communications that are clear, well designed and engaging. Thanks Navig8”

Harry Ward, Design Manager, Age UK

“And a huge thank you for all your massive help and getting everything delivered on time. Big pieces in the Guardian (including leader piece on the campaign), Mirror and Telegraph – including plenty of quotes from the fab-looking report. Masses of TV and radio here and in Scotland. All really chuffed here. All the best and thanks a million for all your help.”

Ben Jackson, Head of Communications, Shelter

“Navig8’s response to the challenge of incorporating a modern campaign feel within a global dynamic was superb. All our materials now reinforce the central message of the Stop AIDS Campaign and contribute to a clear sense of activism and urgency. The team at Navig8 are consistently sensitive to aims of the Campaign and find creative and imaginative mechanisms for getting this across – from the stationery, through to the website and even on invitations to events.”
