Roth Creative

What Roth Creative does

Roth Creative LLP is a privately held, Kent-based graphic design consultancy founded in 2006 and operating from West Malling, United Kingdom. The studio is led by Matt Christmas, a senior creative designer with over 20 years of experience, and is structured as a lean principal-plus-network model: a small core team (1–10 people) supplemented by a curated roster of freelance specialists scaled in for larger projects.

The company's service offering is horizontally integrated across three pillars — Branding (logo design, brand guidelines, stationery, brand optimisation), Print Design (marketing collateral, large-format graphics, exhibition displays, signage, vehicle livery), and Web Design (CMS builds, e-commerce, blogs, social media integration, analytics, email marketing, digital advertising) — supported by adjacent capabilities in SEO, photography, illustration and print management. Underlying technology is conventional: third-party CMS, e-commerce and email marketing platforms rather than proprietary IP. No AI/ML, API, or SDK offerings are disclosed.

Commercially, Roth Creative sells professional design services on a per-project, quote-based model to clients ranging from local startups (Coco & Bloom, Swan Street Café, The Kings Arms) to national and blue chip accounts (Reebok Sports Club, KM Group PLC, E2W, Harley Therapy, RVL). Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through portfolio-driven direct engagement and client referrals rather than paid marketing, with no disclosed pricing, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries and no parent organisation.
