what we're all about

01
partnership over profit

We act like each business we work with is our own, treating our clients as partners. Our team is always coming up with new ideas, planning, and strategising on a regular basis. We like to be in regular contact with our clients, and work closely with them to drive real results for their business.
02
small but mighty

We’re not a massive creative agency. There’s no overly fancy office space, or fold out ping pong tables hidden within the walls (or is there!?) We’re a small but mighty creative team, allowing us to be versatile, flexible, and adaptable. Our close knit teams means we can react quickly to ideas and help our clients out if a problem arises.
03
awesome design always

Our partnership approach and small but mighty design team, results in awesome work. Our full name is Canny Creative, and creativity is exactly what we deliver. We’ll never send out work that isn’t awesome, just to “get it out.” Our partners deserve awesome output, and that’s exactly what we deliver, every single time.

Canny Creative Directors - Tony Hardy and Adrienne Hguhes

They took a difficult brief and delivered a fresh new brand that pushes boundaries and arms us with what we need to grow our business and expand into new markets.

From my first engagement with Canny I knew they were the team we needed for our rebrand project and they exceeded any expectation. Talented, forward thinking and fun the team aren’t afraid to push boundaries when it comes to design and deliver work that is extra special.

Now we are armed with what we need to help us grow our business and expand into new markets. I’m looking forward to building a long standing partnership as we continue to move forward with exciting digital marketing projects led by the Canny team.

what partnership means to us

It’s easy to say that “we treat our clients as partners” - and many businesses say just that. But partnership means something different at Canny.

It means:

You can pick up the phone and use us as a sounding board for all of your crazy ideas!
We’ll actively come to you with suggestions for moving your business forward
You’ll always be able to get hold of one of our team members
We’ll tell you exactly how it is, and pull no punches
On a regular basis, we’ll sit down together to discuss your plans and how we can support you.

When we work on a project, we’re going into battle together, not against each other. It’s important to work with an agency you know, like, and trust has your back.

Let’s partner together?
