We have something to reveal…

4th August 2015

You want branding that hits home. Design that isn’t shy. Marketing with a hint of cheek (or is that chic…?) Four more companies have decided to put their image in the capable hands of Cuckoo Design this year. Take a look at the work we do and you’ll soon understand why. Some might call that […]

Reviving trust in the finance sector

21st July 2015

The average person, if they’re being honest, will probably admit that they don’t really like thinking about money. How much they’ve got, how much they need, what’s coming in compared to what’s going out, what they’re owed, what they owe……it’s a range of topics many people make a point of avoiding. It’s necessary, and vital […]

Building houses and selling homes

26th May 2015

That tin of beans I bought last week has appreciated 16.5% in value since I purchased it, meaning that, while it cost 62p to buy, it’s now worth 72.23p. Based on how much richer that’s made me feel, I’m going to go on a wild spending spree, thus bolstering the wider economy. That’s how it […]

Why email marketing still works and how to make it work better

6th May 2015

The symbols are a bit of a giveaway, really. The symbols for emails, that is. Envelopes. Paperclips. The kind of pre digital stationery that you’ll fairly soon only be able to see in a glass case in a museum. Ally this to the fact that most people over the age of around 25 can remember […]

When is a hotel not a hotel? When it’s much more

14th April 2015

(Image courtesy of Holiday Inn Solihull) As the politicians from various parties argue about just how much of any economic upturn is filtering down to ‘hard working families’ (single people, or those of us who are undeniably lazy, don’t seem to figure in this particular debate) one sector which genuinely and unarguably appears to be […]

Video: Creativity that kicks!

10th April 2015

It is no secret that most creative agencies struggle when it comes to producing creative and marketing solutions for themselves, due to all their creative juices being lavished upon their clients. That’s certainly how we feel at Cuckoo (and we hope our clients agree). Just occasionally, however, we get a spark of creativity that we […]

Bring your message to life with infographics

19th March 2015

The use of infographics as a means of displaying information is now so widespread that writing about it might seem rather like missing the point. There is a chance, however, that an infographic in the form of some images pointing out that an image is worth a thousand words might contain at least a few […]

The right time for a client focus group

25th February 2015

The concept of the focus group has undoubtedly taken something of a hammering in recent years, as it came to be synonymous with spineless politicians being unable to admit what their favourite crisp flavour was until a carefully selected cross section of voters had given their opinion on smoky bacon versus cheese and onion. The […]

Banging The Drum for Cuckoo

9th February 2015

It is no secret that we have made some fantastic changes to the agency over the last twelve months, from strengthening our team to revamping our brand identity and bringing on not one, but five brilliant new clients.
