WHAT WE DO
Creative thinkers; honest, focussed
and fair.
A Proven Track Record
For 25 years the end result has been far more important than the invoice and every single project has to be good enough to help close the deal on the next one. We want our client's business to succeed because that brings success for us - and given we have never advertised we understand the importance of this.
Your Digital Guide
We can guide you into a digital future - where your online and offline marketing work in perfect harmony, where your sales channels connect to save time and money, where your metrics are live and you can run your business in a way that you have never been able to run it before. We're focussed creative project managers.
We are creative thinkers first, we help business owners plan and execute their creative strategy but at the same time we can take apart operational processes to implement solutions that save time and money. This holistic approach allows you to market and expand from a position of strength - we understand business.
Part One
1996-2007
It all began on a friend's lounge floor, on a borrowed BT landline with a whole load of promises being offered in return for advertising revenue to create the first ever Shred or Dead mountain bike magazine.
This magazine grew, and grew, we nearly sold it twice, it grew some more and then in 2007 we decided to do more than just offer advertising in a magazine and we started Shred Creative. Initially to support our magazine clients but word got out.
Part Two
2007-2023
You don't get to do what you love for 25 years without doing something right. The creative business is tough, the demand for fresh ideas, new technology and an inherent understanding of what helps businesses grow, and succeed, is at the very heart of what we do. We've trained, retrained and retrained again, when we started websites were barely invented yet today we're producing sites at the forefront of technology.
We're branding companies that we dreamed of working with and we're seeing the companies that were just seeds when we started now grow into mighty oaks. Of course it's been a bumpy ride, but that's how business goes, thankfully we started young.
Part Three
2023 - PRESENT DAY
In 2023 we dropped the name Shred Creative, opting to carry the name of owner and founder Steve Toze and rebrand as Toze Branding Co. As we move into a new era we focus on working with a wider range of clients across all sectors as well as working hand in hand with sister company Shred or Dead Ltd on the expansion of its cafe chain.
Our focus remains the same and the work you see within this portfolio site is the kind of work we continue to offer into the future and we'll keep adding to it as we complete more and more projects.
