We are an award-winning agency founded in 2007 with over forty years of combined experience in the creative industry. Our passion is design. Our strength is hitting deadlines. Our satisfaction comes from surpassing expectations.
Surreal is a collection of skilled creative minds and sound strategic thinkers who come together to form brand solutions. From global giants Nike to thriving local businesses such as Gentoo and FHM, every project we deliver refreshes our love for what we do.
As our stock continues to rise in the North East’s booming creative sector, so do our ambitions. Having recently delivered a global brand launch for wood panel giants Sonae Industria, we have added to those credentials by securing MJO Cork as our latest worldwide client.
What do you see?
So far our logo has sparked 39 separate sightings.
Here’s some of the best ones that make us smile: an ant, two monkeys fighting, one pelvis bone, an elephant, two griffins, mice, pandas, chickens… Ant & Dec?!
Not the alternative to Twelve Days of Christmas, but a truth helps us in our own creative process. That’s the Surreal journey – understanding the power of interpretation – taking the creative back to basics to guarantee a memorable brand.
We are design from an alternative perspective for a greater impact. More than your average creative company.
The social networking phenomenon is just getting started. The iPhone, Blackberry and Android are no longer flashy novelties. Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook are now part of our everyday vocabulary.
Yes, Social Networking is becoming more than browsing photographs of night-time shenanigans, flirty pokes, adding and spying, reading and writing messages. Marketing and advertising are now increasingly prominent animals within this world and for good reason.
In the first half of 2010, Online Video and Social Media advertising boosted total online ad spend to nearly £2billion.
Social however, it must remain. It is a landscape where personality and character can freely shine. Businesses benefiting by quite literally being sociable, that is, inviting comment and celebrating customer and client interaction on a platform for 24-hour contact, news delivery, and the latest product updates.
Customers and clients get pleasure from finding daily evidence of a business they’ve invested in being on the pulse of things. Personality plus is fascinating updates educating and informing, or just making the customer smile like a friend would. Kicking off that unique one-click-of-a-button virtual word of mouth process.
We understand the importance of these modern lines of communication, handling the social accounts of many of our large corporate clients. And OMG…we’re on Facebook and Twitter too.
