Design Bridge and Partners has been named Most Creative Design Agency of the Year at this year’s Creative Review annual awards, which celebrates the best creative work across advertising, design, tech, experience, entertainment, effectiveness and craft.

Our work for Forest Carbon, Network Rail’s Rail Clock and Fortnum & Mason received a Grand Prix and three Winner awards in Sound Design & Use of Music, Wayfinding, Packaging Design and Brand Identity (Rebrand) categories, demonstrating attention to detail combined with innovative ideas.

Forest Carbon’s “In Tune with Nature” received a Grand Prix for Sound Design & Use of Music, and won in Brand Identity - Rebrand. Inspired by the science of bioacoustics and Chladni patterns – visual representations of sound frequencies – we created an identity that lets nature speak for itself, capturing the sonic biodiversity of healthy ecosystems.

A winner in the Wayfinding category, Network Rail’s Rail Clock is the first unified clock design in over half a century, first unveiled at London Bridge station. Inspired by an icon of British rail design – Gerry Barney's double arrow symbol – we created a striking 1.8 metre diameter timepiece that celebrates the journeys and connections made every day across Britain's railways.

Fortnum & Mason’s Famous Animal Crackers draws on Victorian-era animal nutcrackers - objects full of eccentric charm. We created a new range of nuts anchored in rich storytelling, design craft and collectible appeal, with each flavour being paired with a unique illustrated character, brought to life through captivating stories, steeped in whimsy. Winner in the Packaging Design category.

Furthermore, in celebration of this year’s Awards them ‘the Brave and the Brilliant’, Design Bridge and Partners were invited to create the front cover for the annual. With an idea that explored what it means to stand up for creativity today, we took to the studio to fly the flag (literally) for original, creative thinking.

“We’re incredibly proud to have partnered with Creative Review on this year’s Awards Annual. Our idea was really about heroing this amazingly talented community who continue to push boundaries and redefine what's possible in our industry.”

— Greg Quinton, Global Co-Chief Creative Officer, Design Bridge and Partners
