Our offering.

Our core strength is translating complex ideas into effective design solutions and creating brands, websites, spaces, social media campaigns, and more.

Graphic Design

We have the skills, experience, understanding and passion for designing solutions that look good and deliver on the strategy.

Strategy

Strategy lies at the heart of what we do. In the words of Charles Eames, “What works good is better than what looks good. Because what works good lasts.” Every piece of communication is a chance to make an impact, connect with someone, and make a statement. Without a resilient strategy driving communication, opportunities are lost, brand messaging is fractured, and, in time, the brand’s value erodes.

Writing

Storytelling starts with the written text. From video scripts to board presentations, Shelf can transform text from describing what you do to convincing your audience that your offering meets their needs.

Digital & Social

The last decade has rapidly increased digital communication, shaping our lives. Shelf believes in well-thought-through digital and social communication rather than just adding to the noise of rampant posting.

Campaigns

Multidisciplinary and collaborative campaigns require a wide variety of skilled individuals. We keep our agency agile by working with a network of specialised creatives depending on the client’s needs. Shelf drives the strategy and project management and ensures delivery, but our clients get access to the best in the field at a fraction of the agency retainer cost. Collaborators are gathered based on each client’s individual needs.

Spatial Design

A space can read like a story. Genuinely committed to ensuring our client’s strategy is met at every touchpoint, we work with architects and builders to create everything from signage to custom-built furniture or pop-up spaces.
