STRATEGIC BRANDING AGENCY | CREATING BRANDS WITH PRESENCE
We are small by design, selective in our partnerships, and dedicated to craftsmanship in every detail. Our clients don’t just hire an agency; they gain a brand ally, an advocate, and a long-term creative partner.
At Riley & Thomas, we don’t just build brands we craft legacies.
Each identity is a considered expression of purpose, personality, and provenance. Defined by intent. Elevated through experience.
Our studio is rooted in the quiet beauty of the Cotswolds, a place where refinement is second nature. It informs how we think, how we create, and how we partner with those who shape the world’s most discerning brands from luxury spirits and boutique hotels to heritage destinations and lifestyle icons.
For over a decade, we’ve created work that speaks fluently across every touchpoint – print, digital, spatial.
Seamlessly blending strategy and storytelling, design and desire, we craft brands with enduring presence and effortless allure.

A SNAPSHOT OF OUR SERVICES.
Website Design
Cotswold Web Design. We are WordPress specialists, experts you might say. In designing a site that delivers a terrific brand experience, there are many important factors to consider. Ease of use to content relevance, from tone to visual style. Riley & Thomas provide a comprehensive set of services that include information architecture, user experience design, usability testing, responsive mobile-friendly structure and more.
Logo Design
Logo Design: Your logo design is the one thing that your customers will see before anything else. It’s often the first point of contact for prospective clients or customers. We always get asked how much does a logo cost, but we need to know: Do you want literally, just a logo? A logo for a website? Or maybe you mean an ‘identity’? Or perhaps a corporate identity?
The bottom line is, the more you invest, the more likely you are to get a better quality, stronger brand that resonates with your target audience.
Marketing
Your marketing strategy should outline which mix of channels you want to deploy, to be where your customers are, and get them to interact with you. You need to consider a website, mobile, social, eCommerce and search engine marketing and use them to engage with your customers. Most marketing efforts start with a blog post and an email campaign. We make sure that all marketing content uploaded to the website is optimised for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) in order to rank higher on Google.
Social Media
We offer an array of tools for clients looking to form or maintain an existing social media presence.
Outsourcing the running of your social media is a great way to make sure you have regular, engaging content appearing on your channels, even when you’re too busy to do it yourself. Our experts can manage your social platforms and will delve into your brand’s DNA to understand your tone of voice and how to best engage with your audiences.
