our core services
to grow your business

Yours isn’t like any other business, so why would you settle for a brand that doesn’t stand out from the rest? 

Rebrands, refreshes, logo’s and full brand suites, we craft original strategy-led identities that connect, inspire and endure. Colour psychology is our guiding force!

We create websites that get found, look attractive, function seamlessly, and convert visitors into customers. 

From one page websites, to blogs, to full ecommerce builds. With strategy at the core, we’ll design and build a site that reflects your brand and moves your audience to action.

From marketing materials to annual reports, books, magazines, prospectuses, and brochures.

Our graphic design expertise brings consistency, clarity, impact, and polish to every page. Design for all large and small formats, multi-page or a few, and printing procurement.

Custom illustrations and infographics transform complex ideas into impactful visuals that capture attention and inform. 

We bring your brand to life with bespoke artwork and data visuals that not only connect with your audience but also add a distinctive touch to your identity. 

We turn ideas into visuals, using graphic design to create experiences that engage your audience.

From signage, packaging, socials, billboards, adverts, banners, vehicle wraps and marketing collateral, our experience is endless! We deliver visuals that speak volumes.

Acute attention for detail
"The team at Brand Refinery quite simply make my job a breeze. Their acute attention for detail, knowledge of our branding and requirements as a university, and ability to collaborate and deliver on sometimes complex but vague briefs is outstanding. The staff are all completely professional, ever reliable with deadlines and getting back to me quickly on queries. On top of this, they are an absolute pleasure to work with. I dread the day that I have to work with other graphic designers thanks to Brand Refinery’s high standards!”
Kylie Rae – Public Relations & Marketing Co-ordinator
Understanding the brief
“Having the right look and feel for Good George was very important in the development of this new brand. The team did a great job. They quickly grasped what we were trying to do with this project, they worked with us to make sure they understood our goals and then they nailed the creative. From the brand identity, to printed collateral, vehicle signage and on to venue execution they cracked it all.”
Nathan Sweetman – Director, Good George Brewing – Phoenix Group
A better vision
“Chrystal was exactly the right person to work with. Her vision was better than I could have ever come up with myself and she is by far, the easiest, friendliest person to deal with.”
Dulcie Chitty – shop Moss
Consistent quality
“Brand Refinery (formerly KT Design) planned and implemented our entire business design and image. They have been excellent since we started our company in September 2009 and have delivered the same quality of service for all our requirements since. I will recommend Brand Refinery to anyone as I have been very happy with how great their team is to do business with.”
Carl Bloxam – Gothenburg Restaurant
