As your business develops our team will be on hand to support and enhance your strategic communications wherever and whenever they’re needed.

 

RicksWhen the Coulthard Identity Group starts to work with a client we ask some simple questions to make sure we know the path the client wants to take.

Design is subjective, every individual person has their own impression of what is “Fantastic” and what is “Horrid”. We make sure if you are looking for Michaelangelo, you don’t end up getting Andy Warhol, or visa versa.
