About us
Bravand designs and builds things that people interact with on screens. Behind it is a network of kick-ass digital experts. And behind them? Bravand's Founder, Jilly Cross. She's the one that makes sh*t happen.
Designers, Developers, Project Managers, Researchers, Analysts, Copywriters, Animators and Videographers, plus some other wonderful people. Basically the Royal Flush of networks.
Digital problem solving since 2012
That's over a decade of digitalising. Woah. Bravand's been in the business long enough to become a well-oiled machine. We're rather bleddy good at what we do, and we're rather ruddy proud of our achievements to date. Take a look at how we roll here...

How we work
When a project comes a-knocking, our core team scopes it out, then brings in the relevant members from the collective to not only deliver, but exceed expectations.
Our approach and structure enables us to deliver the goods you need, with the best team needed to deliver them, without the clunky overheads and cost inflation owned by a more traditional agency model.
There are a few specific stages that most projects do need: eyes right for a more detailed explanation.
Getting to know you
We'll get to know you and really get under to skin of your organisation's mission, vision, aims, culture, characteristics - that sort of thing - so we can put ourselves in its shoes when it comes to project goals and requirements.
This sets your Project Manager up for being your champion at our end.
Getting to know your users
We always conduct user research - e.g. focus groups, interviews, workshops - with a range of people. It is a standard part of our process and we couldn’t do the great work we do without this crucial element.
We need to make sure everyone is working with users in mind.
Project leadership, throughout
The positive feedback we get from clients often centres on "it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it". And that's what gets results.
Lots of people can design and build digital stuff. Digital stuff can do some of the designing and building of digital stuff, too. But we always say "We've got your back", not "I'll be back".
Blowing our trumpet!
Like we said, we're proud of our achievements. We put our heart and soul into them, and we work really, really, very, incredibly, massively hard - so why wouldn't we shout about them?
Don't be a dick, yeah?
Bravand has achieved Good Business Charter accreditation.
It’s dead simple and any organisation in the UK can sign up, as long as you have responsible business practices and behaviours, of course. The rest of you can just feck the feck off.
GBC measures behaviour over 10 components, including real living wage, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair tax, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing, and prompt payment.

Satisfaction
In 2019, we came in 15th place in a list of UK independent agencies based on client satisfaction.
The list was compiled by The Drum, for The Drum Recommends, which is The Drum's agency recommendation platform.
This was a biggie for us, as it was voted for by our actual clients, based on their actual satisfaction with our actual work.
So there.
