I tend to help brands in one of two ways.
Set up or grow a brand
Support tailored to your business needs. Whether you’re looking for a one-off consultation or a dedicated creative team, I can help. If you have specific requirements, now could be the perfect time for a call or coffee.
Here’s how I typically approach growing or establishing a brand:
Analysis
I listen, learn, and gain a deep understanding of you or your brand — exploring the why, what, and how.
Strategy & Planning
I identify opportunities and develop a strategic plan to drive creative improvements across your business.
Creative Direction
I design and guide your business using creative thinking, marketing strategies, system design, and brand development.
Questions
What does Alex Hammond do?
Alex Hammond is a designer by training who starts, builds and runs businesses of his own — including the creative agency StudioHammond, Wainford & The Silo and LandGrid — and helps other small and medium-sized companies do the same, as an advisor or non-executive director, a fractional creative director, and through talks.
Who has Alex worked with?
Independent producers and global brands, including Flint Vineyard, Fen Farm Dairy, John Lewis & Partners, Ted Baker, Paul Smith, Louis Poulsen, Philips Design, Adidas and Tuborg.
How does a project work?
Either as a one-off project, or as ongoing support to set up or grow a brand. The usual approach runs in three stages: analysis, strategy and planning, then creative direction.
What results has the work delivered?
Fen Farm Dairy was awarded Best Cheese Brand in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and grew direct-to-consumer sales tenfold in five years. Flint Vineyard went from a kitchen-table brand to a successful investment round in 2024.
Where is Alex based?
Alex splits his time between East Sussex, London and Suffolk, and works with clients across the UK.
