What Relish Creative does

Relish Creative is an independent UK-based design and digital marketing agency headquartered in Surbiton, operating as Relish Creative Limited with a 1–10 person team. The agency delivers a full-service creative proposition spanning brand identity development, responsive web design and build (including eCommerce on WooCommerce), 3D and 2D animation, video production, integrated multi-channel marketing campaigns, print collateral, and marketing strategy consulting including fractional CMO services. Its client base is anchored by major enterprise accounts — notably Square Enix, SEGA, and Google — alongside a growing roster of startups, SMBs, and venture capital firms across gaming, B2B SaaS, healthcare, hospitality, aviation, and consumer brands. The business model is professional services: project-based fees and ongoing retainers generated through direct client engagement, pitches, referrals, and a fractional CMO offering, with delivery spanning more than 15 countries across Europe, North America, Latin America, Oceania, and MENA. Relish is bootstrapped and privately held with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or public listing. Its technical differentiation rests on in-house 3D animation, WebGL/React web builds, and an established mass-localisation capability demonstrated by the delivery of 5,000+ assets across 15 territories for SEGA's Sonic Frontiers campaign.
