We are a brand and digital design agency.
This is our official description, unofficially we’re a bunch of multi-talented, multi-taskers. Fiercely independent, we’ve been working with our clients since 2004 to find the right question, to deliver the right solution.
It’s all about starting in the right place.
We dive deep with our clients.
We clash heads with our team.
We think big with our ideas.
We connect with audiences.
We transform our clients’ businesses.
What’s with our name?
The 42 in our name comes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. As the story goes, the number 42 is the ‘Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything’. We’re not saying we have all the answers, we’re saying the answer seems meaningless if no one knew what the question was. Lightbulb moment - to get the right solution, you need to ask the right question.
