We're Alive! An ideas agency. www.alivewithideas.com Creative comms, animation, design, video, anim Alive - it’s more than a name.
It’s how we feel, and how we want our clients to feel. We call ourselves an ideas agency, as we believe good ideas create great design. Online, offline, above and below the line, we’re comfortable in any environment and always get you to the finish line. With a commitment to creativity, we deliver tangible results for our clients. From branding & brand communications, through to fully functioning websites and events. You name it, and we’ve probably designed the t-shirt.

We loved unleashing our creativity on this STI testing campaign for men.
We worked with Derbyshire Community Health Services to encourage men to get themselves tested at least once a year, even if they don’t have obvious symptoms.
Our comprehensive campaign development included:
✅ Concept development
✅ Character personas
✅ Strapline and messaging
✅ Illustration & design
✅ Static & animated ads
Together with Southwark Council we created an inclusive, empowering campaign, inviting people to come together to shape Southwark's future. Using bold shapes based on the borough's areas and powerful staff hero photography we created a distinctive and celebratory campaign look and feel.
We can’t change before, but we can bring laughter,
Forging new friendships in the thick of disaster.
From presenting bold creative concepts to writing poetry for the video we’re currently building, it has been wonderful to work on the Emergency Smile fundraising campaign with Red Noses.
Powerful. Emotional. Exciting. Rewarding. Meaningful… These are just some of the words our team has used to describe this project.

We used our digital know-how to create an accessible website for NHS Talking Therapies Hampshire, previously known as italk. The site guides people to their correct local service provider, helping them to get the support that they need!
