Lion House

What Lion House does

Lion House (trading as Lionhouse) is a full-service brand and digital experience agency headquartered in Bath, England, with a secondary office in Cornwall. Founded in 2001/2002, the firm operates as a purposefully small studio (1–10 employees) anchored by long-tenured senior leadership — Managing Director and Digital Director Dan Yeo (15+ years) and Creative Director Anthony Webber (10 years) — and supported by a global network of freelance creatives, developers, and strategists that allow it to scale delivery without expanding fixed headcount.

The agency's offering is organised across three core service categories: Brand (strategy, identity, guidelines, graphic design, art direction, copywriting, packaging, motion); Digital Experience (websites, UI/UX, e-commerce, animation, SEO, plus software and systems development); and Marketing (campaigns, social, paid, influencer, email, OOH). Technical execution spans WordPress and WooCommerce, Ruby on Rails, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and the Adobe creative suite, with the November 2024 launches of an 'Off the Peg' fixed-price website package for startups (£2,999+VAT) and a dedicated Ruby on Rails development line broadening both ends of the price and complexity spectrum.

Lion House generates revenue through professional services engagements — predominantly bespoke, quote-based projects and retainer arrangements — with the new fixed-price startup package as the only publicly disclosed SKU. The go-to-market model is sales-led direct engagement, driven from the agency website via 'Start a project' calls-to-action, email, and phone. Clients span B2B and D2C segments nationally and internationally and include both enterprise brands (e.g., Clarks, Adidas, Pepsi, DeWALT, Strava, Herman Miller, Grenson) and growth-stage or startup clients (e.g., Mission Pebble, FoodFit, Lucra Mortgages, ADSL). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or M&A activity.

Core offering

Lion House is a full-service brand and digital experience agency that delivers strategic brand development (brand strategy, identity, graphic design, copywriting, packaging, video production) combined with technical digital implementation (websites, UI/UX design, ecommerce, SEO, animation) and creative marketing campaigns (social, paid, influencer). It serves both D2C and B2B clients, often supporting both audiences for the same business, and offers packaged as well as bespoke engagements.

Product overview

Lion House is a full-service brand and digital experience agency offering a unified portfolio of services that combine strategic brand development with technical digital implementation. The agency's core offerings are organized into three main service categories: Brand Services (encompassing brand strategy, graphic design, copywriting, packaging, video production, and photography), Digital Experience Services (covering websites, UI/UX design, ecommerce, SEO, and animation), and Marketing Services (including social campaigns, paid advertising, and influencer marketing). The agency operates across both B2B and B2C sectors, often supporting both requirements for the same business. Technical specializations include WordPress & WooCommerce development, Ruby on Rails development, and Shopify implementations.
