1. Create a website that rocks
We built FlaxLondon.com using the Flatsome Web Builder on WordPress, which has WooCommerce integration. The site is then hosted on WP Engine. This combination is great for startups that want something lean and agile, yet bespoke.

2. Amplify product
launches with animated content
Customers appreciate when startups go that little bit extra when launching new products.
We designed these animations to work as Gifs and MP4s in a range of different sizes. That way, they can be used in email campaigns, on social media, and on FlaxLondon.com
3. Communicate the brand’s ethos
Thoughtful startups today are the global businesses of tomorrow.

5. Highlight your key messages
Handwritten typography, used sparingly, helps core messages to stand out and for the humans behind a brand to come to the fore
Setting your core messages in stone by creating bespoke typography helps focus the attention of a founding team on what really matters to the brand.
6. Affirm your digital identity
through your physical presence

We created an animated loop that gave Flax London a little touch of class when they went out to their customers to let them know they are taking a break after Christmas.
8. Be Bold
Flax London decided to do an anti-black Friday campaign
Flax London came to us with their anti-Black Friday idea a week before the day. We responsed by building a custom page on FlaxLondon.com and assets they could share and promote on social media.
9. Stay on top of the latest trends
in digital storytelling
We have been advising Flax London on what they can do to stay ahead of the curve. We are exploring WebFlow, a web design platform with extraordinary possibilities. We have created a staging site for them, and have introduced two factor authentication so that their data is secure.
What is possible on the internet is changing day by day.
