MTB Guisborough is a vibrant and passionate mountain biking community based in the North East, and a British Cycling affiliated Community Amateur Sports Club. Known for its challenging trails and inclusive approach to riders of all levels, they approached me with a need for a strong, versatile brand identity that reflected the energy of their sport and their local roots. The goal was to create a design that was instantly recognisable, practical across print and digital formats, and adaptable for use on everything from merchandise to social media. Scope of Works The project began with the development of a new logo. The design combines bold typography with a simple but powerful icon that reflects both the local terrain and the MTB lifestyle. The colour palette - red, white, and black was chosen to convey energy, grit, and strength. To put the identity into action, I applied the logo to a range of assets, including:
Each piece was designed with MTB Guisborough’s grassroots spirit in mind — bold, energetic, and built for a tight-knit community of riders. Summary
The new brand identity for MTB Guisborough has given the club a distinctive, professional look while staying true to its adventurous and down-to-earth ethos. With a toolkit of assets ready for use across merchandise, events, digital platforms, and a dedicated website, the brand helps unite riders under one clear visual identity. It’s a design that not only represents the trails they ride, but also the community they’ve built. At Get Noticed Branding, I specialise in turning complex information into design that inspires, informs, and delivers results. One recent example is my work with IMG Academy, designing their 2025/2026 Golf Program Overview deck. The global sales team at IMG Academy needed a presentation that:
I created a clean, structured, and visually engaging design that makes complex data simple and communicates IMG’s unique value to prospective student-athletes and their families. This short promotional video showcases the final deck in action: If your business needs presentations, marketing assets, or brand support that deliver real impact, get in touch today.
When it comes to marketing, sometimes the simplest approach can have the biggest impact. For Wilson Plumbing & Heating, that meant putting a beautifully designed, informative leaflet directly into the hands of local homeowners.
Wilson Plumbing & Heating approached us to create a marketing piece that reflected their professional service, friendly approach, and wide range of heating and cooling solutions. We designed a clean, easy-to-read A4 tri-fold leaflet highlighting:
Once approved, we arranged the printing of 20,000 high-quality leaflets. These were delivered via Royal Mail to carefully selected postcodes, ensuring they reached homeowners most likely to benefit from Wilson’s services. The result was a professional, targeted marketing campaign that combined strong design with strategic distribution. Proof that great design isn’t just about looking good — it’s about delivering results. From Merlot to Mango - we design with flavour. 🍷🥭
That was our guiding mantra for this project with Nunthorpe Hall, a luxury care home where every detail matters. We were asked to design a suite of drinks menus - wine, smoothies, and mocktails - that not only functioned well but truly enhanced the experience for residents and visitors alike.
Each menu was carefully designed to align with the hall’s premium hospitality and brand ethos. Looking to bring flavour to your own printed materials? Let’s create something worth savouring. When 7-time WBFF Pro and renowned stagewear designer Veronique Rees set out to launch a luxury poolsidewear brand, she needed more than just a logo - she needed a brand identity that matched her legacy.
Enter Get Noticed Branding. As a long-standing client, Veronique trusted me to help shape and bring to life her new vision: de Brabant - a premium label that would extend her competition-wear expertise into the world of high-fashion swimwear. The Brief The goal was to create a high-end sub-brand to sit alongside Veronique’s established label, La Diva Design. While La Diva caters to elite stage competitors, de Brabant would represent glamourous, luxury poolsidewear—bespoke creations made to celebrate confidence, elegance, and achievement. The challenge? To craft a brand that felt every bit as premium, personal, and aspirational as the designs themselves. My Role This project was a true full-spectrum branding commission. I was involved in every stage of development, including:
The Launch The brand made its debut at London Fashion Week, worn on the runway by models who personified strength, ambition, and beauty. The response? Outstanding. de Brabant made a confident entrance into the fashion world - and I was proud to help make that possible. Why It Matters This wasn’t just about good design. It was about strategic branding that told a story—from a celebrated designer’s roots in competition wear to a powerful new expression of luxury. And this is what I do at Get Noticed Branding. I help businesses - whether start-ups or established names - develop bold, distinctive identities that connect, elevate, and perform across every platform. Ready to Create Something Extraordinary? If you’re launching a new brand or evolving an existing one, let’s talk. Whether you're on the runway or in the boardroom, great design gets you noticed. In design, small changes can make a big impact. That’s exactly what I aim to achieve when clients come to me with logos that no longer reflect their brand’s direction, values, or professionalism.
This short video showcases a series of before-and-after logo transformations for real businesses. The Common Challenges:

Ready to get noticed? Let’s talk today → f you’ve ever wondered whether branding and marketing are the same thing, you’re not alone. Many businesses use the terms interchangeably, but they serve distinct yet complementary roles in business growth. Understanding the difference between the two can help you build a stronger, more effective strategy for your business.
What is Branding? Branding is the foundation of your business’s identity. It’s how you define who you are, what you stand for, and how people perceive you. ✅ Branding includes:
Think of branding as who you are as a business. It’s what makes you instantly recognizable and creates a lasting impression in the minds of your customers. 💡 Example: If you see a bitten apple, you instantly think of Apple. That’s strong branding at work! What is Marketing? Marketing is the tactical approach you use to promote your brand and attract customers. It’s about communicating your message to the right audience and driving sales. ✅ Marketing includes:
Marketing is how you get the word out and convince people to engage with your business. It’s an ongoing effort that requires adaptation to trends, platforms, and consumer behavior. 💡 Example: If Apple launches an ad campaign showcasing the latest iPhone’s features, that’s marketing in action. The Key Difference
Branding comes first—it’s the 'why' behind your business, while marketing is the 'how' you connect with customers. A business with great marketing but weak branding may attract attention, but it won’t build long-term loyalty. On the other hand, strong branding ensures that every marketing effort feels consistent and meaningful. Why It Matters Many businesses focus heavily on marketing but neglect their branding. The result? Inconsistent messaging, forgettable visuals, and a struggle to stand out in a crowded market. 🔹 Without strong branding, marketing campaigns may bring short-term results but won’t build lasting recognition or trust. 🔹 Without effective marketing, even the best brand will struggle to reach its audience. The most successful businesses use branding and marketing together—branding creates an emotional connection, while marketing drives action. Final Thoughts If you’re investing in marketing without a clear brand identity, you might be wasting time and money. Before launching your next campaign, ask yourself: ✅ Does my brand have a clear personality and message? ✅ Are my visuals and messaging consistent across all platforms? ✅ Does my marketing reflect my brand’s values and tone? If not, it might be time to refine your branding. Need help creating a strong brand that makes an impact? Let’s chat! |
