Menagerie was conceived in 1997 by creative director Andrew Doran. Around about the same time, the internet started to become a major comunication medium and consequently Menagerie have evolved their working practices to embrace this technology.

 

Whilst being aware of new technical innovations and adapting to new ways of working is a priority, the company philosophy has always been to look at the big picture and not get distracted by every new digital quirk that appears on the scene.

 

Sometimes, a client may ask if we can create a website feature because "Company X has one and it looks good..." Here we have to challenge the client and ask "But what will it do for you?, and could there be a better way to achieve your ultimate goals?"

 

Looking at projects this way ensures we don't waste valuable time and expense creating eye candy that does nothing more than 'look nice'.

 

Effective communication is what we endeavour to achieve. It doesn't always look 'pretty' but as long as it provokes the desired reaction, then the job will be successful.

 

The projects that we've been lucky enough to work on during the last 10 years, have been so diverse, that we've gained invaluable experience dealing with all kinds of creative requirements, in all kinds of environments, on a regular basis... and the diversity is what keeps concepts and design fresh.

 

We also believe in long term relationships. We're not into 'wham bam, thank you mam' - we need to know how creativity is working for you and when things need updating, we like to be around to see it through.

 

We hope you enjoy working with us and that we can take your dreams and aspirations and make them into something tangible and effective.
