We're Company Smiles. We make brands people love.

Founded in 2018 in the heart of London, Company Smiles has helped over 120 businesses build brands that truly connect with their audiences.

Our Story

Company Smiles started with a simple belief: every business deserves a brand that makes them proud. Founded by creative director James Hartley and brand strategist Amara Osei, we set out to build an agency that combines strategic thinking with exceptional design.

What started as a two-person studio in Shoreditch has grown into a team of 14 passionate creatives, strategists, and designers working from our Charlotte Street studio in Fitzrovia.

We've had the privilege of working with businesses of all sizes — from ambitious startups to established FTSE companies. Our approach remains the same: listen deeply, think strategically, and deliver work that exceeds expectations.

What drives everything we do

01

Strategy First

Beautiful design is meaningless without strategic intent. Every creative decision we make is rooted in research and insight.

02

Collaborative Spirit

We work alongside our clients, not in isolation. The best brands are built through genuine partnership and shared understanding.

03

Lasting Impact

We design brands that endure. No trends, no shortcuts — just thoughtful work that stands the test of time.
