What SPINACH BRANDING LTD does

Spinach Branding Ltd is a London-based brand design agency operating for approximately 25 years that provides brand strategy, identity development, design, communications, and brand management services to enterprise and mid-market clients globally. Its core offering spans the full brand lifecycle — brand architecture, brand strategy, brand identity, naming, verbal identity, content marketing, brand experience, rebranding, brand advertising, design systems, packaging design, annual and brochure design, brand guidelines, and ongoing brand management — delivered through proprietary methodologies including a six-step brand architecture process, a five-movement naming discipline, and a four-mode rebranding framework (refresh, reposition, rename, rebuild). The agency's commercial model is project-based professional services with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers; named engagements range from approximately £10,000–£50,000 for naming projects and £15,000–£250,000+ for rebranding work, with global rollout programmes extending six to twelve months.

The firm serves a concentrated roster of enterprise clients including Campari, Diageo, Pernod Ricard, E. & J. Gallo, Belvedere, Soho House, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants, Maybourne Hotel Group, Chotto Matte, Knight Frank, Berkeley Group, Barking Riverside, Unilode Aviation Solutions, and the Mayor of London, with primary sector specialisms in wine/spirits, hospitality, property/real estate, and professional services, and secondary exposure to luxury lifestyle, transport/logistics, education, and government. Distribution is direct and consultative — enterprise field sales targeting brand leadership teams — supplemented by a thought-leadership content platform (the Challengers journal) and a core strategic partnership with Frontify through which Spinach configures and deploys brand management software for clients. The agency operates from its London Fields headquarters and accesses creative spaces in New York, Barcelona, and Milan via the Spinach collective network, and is registered as a UK private limited company with no disclosed external investment.
