Strategy-Led, By Design.

Fast forward seven years and Ripple has grown into a full-service creative agency with a deep bench of talent, a loyal client base and a reputation for delivering fearless ideas that actually move the needle.  

None of which happened by accident. Every step has been guided by strategy - from the work we do to the way we’ve built the business itself. 

From design studio to strategic partner 

A graphic designer and Big Culchie (capital letters!) at heart, I like things that are practical, considered and well-built. And I’ve always had a natural curiosity about how things work - not just how they look. 

That thinking shaped our earliest client work. We weren’t just designing brochures - we were asking: 

What’s the goal here? 
Who’s this really for? 
What are we trying to achieve? 

We quickly realised that to build brands that lasted, we had to look upstream. That meant running workshops, interrogating business objectives, helping clients uncover who they are and where they want to go.  

Because strategy isn’t a service you bolt on. It's a way of thinking that we build into everything. 

“Design has always been our forte, but insightful strategy is how we’ve earned trust, delivered results, and grown alongside our clients.” – Colm Boylan, Director 

Services that scale with your ambition 

Over the years, that focus on a strategic approach has also grown our capabilities organically. Not least because success drives success and the more our clients grow, the more they need smart, streamlined, brand-led communications that work hard at every touchpoint. 

Today, Ripple offers a fully integrated suite of services including: 

Most recently, we’ve also brought brand-led copy and content in-house – meaning we can deliver a 360° brand development process, all under one roof.  

From positioning and tone of voice to website copy, campaign messaging and thought leadership, we now capably and confidently create aligned brand stories from the inside out. 

“Having everything connected - from strategy to design to content - means we’re quicker, sharper, and more effective. Clients are already feeling the difference.” – Linda Boylan, Director 

Back in 2024, we also established ClickBuilder – our deliberately distinct sister company and digital marketing specialist – to meet the growing need for straightforward, streamlined solutions that keep businesses visible, agile and competitive online.  

For our current clients, that means more opportunities to amplify an existing brand strategy, or Clickbuilder’s services be engaged independently. The benefit? Flexibility, consistency and a joined-up approach – wherever you’re starting from. 

Strategy drives everything 

Being strategy-led isn’t about buzzwords or big presentation decks. It’s about listening hard, thinking clearly, and acting with purpose. It’s how we’ve helped long-standing clients like Brett Martin, Kytun, Specialist Group and Unilin stay ahead.  

It’s how we’ve launched new brands, repositioned established ones, and helped companies grow in new directions. 

It’s also how we’ve grown ourselves - from a two-person outfit to a multidisciplinary team delivering sector-leading work across the UK and Ireland.  

Every hire has been intentional. Every new service, grounded in value. Every win, shared across the team. 

Built to grow and still growing 

We’re proud of what we’ve built. But we’re not done.  

This year alone, we’ve welcomed new clients, expanded the team and launched our most evolved website yet. It reflects who we are today: a strategic creative agency, built for the construction and manufacturing sectors, with the capability and confidence to drive real growth. 

And just like the businesses we work with, we’re still evolving. Still learning. Still sharpening the tools. 

Because the best strategy? It’s the one that keeps moving you forward.
