It’s Sibling Day… so a nod to the duo behind PLOTT 👩‍👦

15 years in business together now - which either says a lot about our resilience… or our ability to ignore each other when needed.

Running a business with your sibling isn’t always straightforward. There’s honesty (sometimes brutal), a shared history you can’t escape, and a level of trust you don’t really get anywhere else.

But that’s also the strength of it. We challenge each other, back each other, and ultimately want the same thing - to build something we’re proud of.

And yes… like any siblings, we still drive each other mad 🤪

If you’ve got a brother or sister, you’ll get it.

If you haven’t - Rich is still open to offers. 🤣

Evolve or die 🐟 🦎 🐁 🚶🏻

Woah easy there Darwin! That's quite a spicy opening for a Thursday morning.

Yes, yes it is. But today is Charles Darwin's 217th birthday 🎂

That's a lot of candles. We're gonna need a bigger cake.

But what's interesting about Darwin's big idea is how it perfectly describes the nature of businesses and brands, as well as animals.

Think of some of the most famous brands, McDonald's, Nike, Jaguar ... pick whoever you like. Well, they've always had the same Golden Arches, switch and leaping Jag, right?

Nope. Look at these iconic brands over the years and you'll see them evolve.

It's not an empty metaphor. Standing still was never an option. Businesses must literally evolve their brands to stay alive.

There are many reasons why evolution is a good idea. Change of ownership, business maturity, or changing client expectations. We’ve helped loads of brands modernise to appeal to modern clients — take a peak at our carousel 👀

Staying relevant and successful means looking at your market as it is today, this very moment. What's happening?

Are there changes that affect your clients? Have people's needs changed? Has the way they search changed?

So, does your brand help you compete in today’s market and address the needs of your clients?

If the answer's no, you need to evolve.

Print isn’t dead.

But it has been declared dead several times by people who wanna sell you digital things.

And digital communication has become faster, cheaper and more disposable. All good things. Meanwhile print retains its unique tactile feel ✋

That it's used less these days makes it all the more memorable.

✔️ A more memorable message? Check
✔️ Premium presentation? Check
✔️ Better conversion rates? Check

So we're shining a light on the Love Paper 🌳

Because PLOTT loves print. But, quick aside… it's important, bear with us.

Print isn’t the environmental villain made out to be. Even sending an email has a carbon footprint of about a gram.

✉️ And how many useless emails do we all get? So...

We only specify FSC-certified paper, which means it comes from forests managed to protect biodiversity, ecosystems and workers’ rights. All audited by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

Digital is brilliant. We use it every day.

But print still has an important role to play.

So yes, this week we’re celebrating paper 🎉

Which is very much not dead.

Want to see some cool artwork that's been 100% made by humans?

Of course you do. It's a palette cleanser for your eyes. The antidote to the AI generated stuff that seems suddenly everywhere.

Long, long-time client Fogtrap asked us for something special. Their brand includes a superhero character, The Interceptor 🦸‍♂️. Nik Rogers from Fogtrap asked us this.

"What if The Interceptor had his own comic strip?"

It would be brilliant, that's what.

The comic strip is a cool item, but it’s much more than that. It introduces the concept in a playful way, the polar opposite of a dry technical manual. It can be used as an advert, or as a handout at events – you can bet no one else will have anything similar.

A brief like that gives a creative agency two options, but only one choice.

Option 1️⃣
Ask Midjourney, ChatGPT, Google Banana Nano 🍌, etc to generate a strip, refine as much as the system allows and use that. Then hope no one notices or cares that it's AI 🤖

Option 2️⃣
Put in some bloody effort 💪 and make something cool the old fashioned way.

Well, this is PLOTT for goodness sake. Creatives first, and (mostly) human. So it's no choice at all. Bloody effort it is.

From concept, scriptwriting, storyboarding and sketching (by hand no less). That's human creativity at work. BTW, time for a shout out to our talented, human, artist, Sabina Gran.

The end result has all our personality, silliness and skill compressed to a comic strip. We're really quite fond of it.

That's a real emotion, and it wasn't generated by a robot.

It was made by people.

We’re proud to share the Dwello Partnerships brand. 🏗️

Working with Warren Bolton on a new brand is the kind of project we love. Watch the launch video to get a feel for the brand – we’ll post a link to the website in the comments.

As it’s a start-up business, the project needed to be fast-paced, collaborative and purposeful. We helped them make the best possible beginning with a brand that fits a start-up’s needs and feels built to last. 🏠

We began with the brand, creating the identity and wordmark design. From there, things moved quickly (around five weeks from conception to launch). We provided a suite of digital and printed materials: brochure, banners, business cards and one-pager info sheets. 😎

We're a brand and web agency, so naturally the website was a big part of the Dwello roll out. Here's some of the features we're most proud of:

⭐ A video header to give people the ‘I could live there’ feeling
⭐ Photography that captures genuine people and places
⭐ Social media posts and copy to build early engagement
⭐ A modern, polished website with subtle animations

A mix of print and digital assets, everything a start-up needs. We don’t talk about print work enough, but print isn’t dead. It’s thriving. These days a tangible, premium hand-out is more memorable than ever.

Since the launch Dwello’s construction partner, S&R Construction Ltd, has become a client. Proof that great work and good relationships really do build on each other. Keep an eye out for their new brand and website, coming soon. 👀

The all-new Dwello Partnerships Ltd website is live.

75% of visitors will judge your firm’s credibility based on design. 🤔

So, how would you describe your business? Successful and professional? That won’t matter for 3 out of 4 people if your business and brand are misaligned.

They’ve got to align. 🙌

That’s why your brand and website are so important. They need work to keep them up-to-date, otherwise when your business moves forward, you get a mismatch.

And that’s where Wakemans were when they came to PLOTT.

They’re a respected construction consultancy with a really modern outlook. The business had evolved. New people, new clients, new services. But the brand and website hadn’t. ⚠️

We used our discovery process to generate real insights and focus the brand refresh.
✅ Refreshed identity: colours, logo, and fonts
✅ New candid photography by Kate Hollingsworth Photography showing the team and their refurbished office
✅ A full Brand Framework to guide story, tone, and copywriting across every touchpoint.

And of course, we rebuilt the site from the ground up. Now it’s all put together and launched Wakemans has a brand and website that look and sound like the business behind it — professional, warm and approachable.

We’re really proud of our work, and Wakemans are already reporting positive feedback from clients.

It’s World Financial Planning Day, and this year feels especially relevant to us.

We turned 15 years old this summer, and sound financial advice has played a big part getting us this far. It gave us confidence to plan ahead and helped us grow sustainably.

That's one of the reasons we became financial sector specialists.

So, how does the industry look in 2025? 🧐 Well, stats tell us that:

95% of clients trust their financial planner
52% without advice expect to seek it in the next 3 years
£300 billion intergenerational wealth transfer expected in the UK by 2035.

All that presents a huge opportunity for the finance sector.

The challenge is making sure your value comes across clearly. Sticky clients make for stronger businesses. And for this your brand and website are vital assets. 👍

At PLOTT, we’re proud to support your profession — helping firms sharpen their message, strengthen their brand, and build fast, accessible websites. 🤩

To all the wealth managers, IFAs and planners out there: what you do matters. We know first-hand just how life-changing good advice can be.

Every great plan starts with discovery. Financial planners know this. 🙌

So do we. It’s the vital first step in getting everything else right.

Our discovery sessions are focused but relaxed. But we will dig. Into your ambition, values and all the things that make your firm different. 👍

We often even add a twist. While the conversation flows, our illustrator Sabina Gran works live with our creative director Richard to capture your brand in real time.

The result is a one-off piece of artwork — part illustration, part theatre — and always a highlight. Clients tell us it’s the moment things really click. Check out what we did for Macbeth Insurance Brokers & Financial Services and Hartsfield.

Discovery is the foundation for a brand and website that add real value. Skip it and you risk shaky ground. 😵‍💫

Do it well and you get clarity, confidence and consistency.

Every good story has a twist — a PLOTT twist, you might say 🙂

Too often we see website home pages with a list of services offered, credentials achieved and awards won.

That’s all important stuff, but it doesn’t answer the client’s burning question, “What’s in it for me?” Start with how you solve their problem.

This is why we’ve completely revamped our case studies section, making sure it isn’t just about us. It’s about our clients. Their challenges, their goals, and the results we achieved together.

That’s the real story. Case studies turn services into proof, and proof into trust.

We’ve given each one a simple, consistent shape:

🔹 What the client wanted
🔹 What we recommended
🔹 What we delivered
🔹 The outcomes we achieved

And, when possible, a testimonial in the client’s own words.

Because that’s what makes a story believable. It’s not just what we say, it’s what they say.

🔎 Explore the new section. Who knows… you might be our next favourite case study. Links in the comments 👇

“Building a brand that makes you irreplaceable? That’s where the money is.” — B.D. Dalton II

What makes a wealth business stand out is whether clients stay when ownership changes. Buyers don’t just look at returns, those are expected. What they really want to see is a brand that keeps clients loyal. 🙂

Bart Dalton — founder of Temple Row Wealth Management and Rockfine Group, successful author, and an expert in helping business owners achieve high-value exits — puts it like this:

⭐ Own a clear niche so the right clients find you.
⭐ Create a consistent experience — online and off — that makes clients feel they belong.
⭐ Build a stand-out brand that ties it all together and keeps loyalty with the firm, not just the founder.

The payoff?
Firms with strong brands and websites can achieve 20–30% higher valuations.

That’s why we care so much about brand and digital presence. They’re not just ‘nice to have’ — they’re central to client stickiness, succession, and long-term value.

We’ve been working on our own site again.

New case studies. A logo pool. Some good reasons to have another nose around. 👀

It’s not just about showing off, it’s about giving people a feel for how we work. Why we make certain choices. How we bring design, writing and programming together to create complete brands.

And it's totally about showing off a bit, obviously. 😏

It’s also proof of how extendable our WordPress builds are. Adding new areas isn’t painful, it’s all part of the plan.

It took the whole team to get it live. As it should. It's the kind of project we thrive on. 😎

Go take a look and tell us what you think. And if you’re thinking about your own brand or site, drop us a message. You might also want to ask about our brand scan while you’re at it.

A low-cost brand can come with a high price. 💸

Especially if you’re looking to grow, attract investors or prepare for exit. Look, you know you’ve built a valuable business, and buyers will know that when they see your numbers.

But what they’ll see first is your brand and website. And this really matters.

Out-of-date information, or a DIY amateur brand will not give the right first impression. 💔

That poor first impression that could cost you.

Well long-time client Vobis avoided all this by making the right call. They invested early in professional branding and a high-performance website from PLOTT. 😎

The ultimate pay off came recently, when they were acquired by Fidelius.
