Bravand is delighted to announce a new partnership with Sheffield-based social care start-up Epona, marking the beginning of an exciting collaboration focused on purposeful digital creativity, brand development, and process design.
Epona is a growing technology company committed to reimagining how social care is delivered and communicated, putting dignity, empowerment, and innovation at the heart of every interaction. The partnership with Bravand will help Epona develop the digital tools and communications they need to scale their mission effectively and sustainably.
The initial phase of work will see Bravand design and launch a simple, one-page marketing website, alongside a suite of social media templates and organic content to establish Epona’s digital presence. Later in 2025, the collaboration will expand to include a new marketing video and a full brand redesign, reflecting Epona’s growth and evolving impact in the social care space.
Behind the scenes, Bravand will also work closely with the Epona team to design and develop a new Notion environment; a centralised digital workspace for managing brand documentation, version control, and team workflows. This will help streamline internal operations and ensure consistency across Epona’s communications as the organisation grows.
“Working with Bravand has already been an inspiring and energising experience. Their team really understands what we’re trying to achieve at Epona; not just in terms of design, but in building systems and processes that help us stay true to our values as we grow. This partnership feels like the perfect fit.”
— Fran Ferris, Founder, Epona
This partnership is a prime example of Bravand’s ongoing commitment to supporting start-ups and ambitious entrepreneurs whose work carries social value at its core. From early-stage strategy to scalable digital design systems, Bravand continues to champion those who are using business as a force for good.
Key Bravand team members leading the project include Alexa Sielaff, Jilly Cross, and Ross Musgrove. The work will also draw on the creativity and energy of Bravand’s next generation of talent including Haylee West and Grace Perrett — both of whom joined the agency through its Fresh Meet initiative, designed to nurture emerging creative professionals.
“Epona embodies the kind of purpose-driven entrepreneurship that excites us at Bravand. It’s a privilege to help shape both their outward-facing brand and their internal creative infrastructure. Collaborations like this remind us why design and strategy are such powerful tools for social impact.”
— Jilly Cross, Founder, Bravand
