Gravytrain
A brand refined to feel as sharp as the thinking behind it.
Gravytrain had the experience and the results to back up their name. What they needed was a brand that felt as current, sharp and digitally-native as the agency behind it.

The challenge:
Gravytrain came to us as an established, award-winning agency whose brand hadn't kept pace with their work. The old identity ‘Your Digital Marketing Agency’ described what they did, but said nothing about how they did it, or who they were as a team. Gravytrain needed a brand that felt as digitally fluent as their output, with the personality and warmth that made them different from every other agency promising the same results.


What we did:
We started with the tagline, because it's where the whole repositioning began. ‘Your Digital Marketing Agency’ was accurate but forgettable; a description, not a distinction. We replaced it with ‘Digital. Clever. Human.’ Three words that do a lot of work: digital states the discipline, clever signals the calibre of thinking, and human is the differentiator. The tagline is now a reminder that behind every campaign is a team that genuinely cares about the outcome, not just the output.
The logo itself stayed close to home, refined rather than reinvented; tighter kerning on ‘Gravytrain’, a solid version of the circular ‘g’ device for cleaner reproduction across materials, and the tagline repositioned within the lock-up for a more considered composition. Fonts and colour palette stayed exactly as they were, so the brand evolved without losing what people already recognised.
Where we pushed harder was the visual world around the logo. We introduced a direct-flash photography style, giving imagery a slightly raw, candid, human feel in place of anything overpolished. Layered against that, we brought in whimsical illustration and playful, hand-styled type treatments, used to call out ideas and messaging in a way that feels spontaneous rather than corporate. Together, it's a look that captures exactly what the new tagline promises: sharp thinking, delivered with personality.
We carried the new identity across every touchpoint: business cards, letterhead, vehicles, uniforms, print and digital advertising including reels, office signage, and a full brand manual to keep it consistent as Gravytrain's team, and their work, continues to grow.
