Brand Strategists + Creative Professionals Since 2006
SHAPE work with ambitious companies to drive long-term profitable growth through a tailored brand development programme.
We're a strategic brand development and creative design agency based in Dublin, Ireland. Our team is made up of skilled brand strategists, creative designers, project managers and support personnel and associates. No assignment we work on is ever the same. That’s why we select and tailor the best possible team for you, depending on the specific requirements of your project.
"We’re neither puffed-up consultants, fancy-assed, self-absorbed designers nor tame keyboard jockeys. We're business people just like you. We see our professional work as always function-first. Creative design should support and deliver a solid brand strategy. Let’s diagnose before prescribing.”
Stephen Murphy, CEO, SHAPE
About SHAPE
We're actually "poachers turned gamekeepers"
Before establishing our brand agency, many of us worked in senior marketing roles as clients of some of Dublin and London's top design houses. This experience gave us a deep insight into client-side requirements and role pressures. With this knowledge, we felt we could do a better job in terms of effectiveness and client care. That's why we founded SHAPE Brand Development.
Have we succeeded? Yes, we believe we have.
But don't take our word for it – see what our clients say. You'll see a number of their testimonials on this site.
Every day brings a different challenge, and we bloody love it!
