Grow Birmingham

22/10/2026

As a creative, I love that moment when everything clicks into place. The colours, the ideas, the vision and you think, “That’s it.”

That’s how I felt when our new Grow Birmingham branding came together.

Jules and I have spent a lot of time getting this right. We both had a sense of what we wanted, but translating that into something that captured us and the business took plenty of conversations, ideas and adjustments.

Creating our new website helped bring it all to life.

Two bright, distinct colours that complement each other perfectly. There’s something quite fitting about that for Jules and I. We bring different personalities, strengths and perspectives, but together, it works.

We wanted that partnership to come through in the design, alongside the energy, warmth and creativity we bring to our work.

It also needed to reflect where Grow Birmingham is heading. Marketing is at the heart of what we do, but our work has grown to encompass so much more: connecting people, making introductions, opening doors and advocating for businesses we believe in.

As much as we love watching our clients and our city grow, we’ve been growing too.

We’ve both put a lot into this next chapter, and it feels good to finally have branding that feels like us.

So here it is. The new Grow Birmingham. 💚🧡

The work behind the results. 💚

You’ll often see us out at events, meeting people and making introductions. But there’s plenty happening behind the scenes at Grow Birmingham too.

For WM Stoves, that work has helped generate 141 lead form enquiries since July, at an average cost of just £2.72 each.

▪️ 15,494 people reached
▪️ £384.14 total ad spend
▪️ Numerous showroom visits from customers who said the ads prompted them to come in

For some UK context, published Meta campaign case studies for other home-improvement businesses report £8.47 and £21.99 per lead.* We’re really pleased with how efficiently this campaign is generating enquiries.

Behind those figures are the planning, creative work, audience decisions and ongoing adjustments that keep a campaign moving.

Being out there for our clients is one part of what we do. This is another, and we love seeing it bring people through their doors.

Really pleased to share the new website for HJMM Technology.

This is the kind of project we love getting stuck into, taking something genuinely innovative and making sure it is presented in a way that the right people can quickly understand.

HJMM is not just another piece of tech. It is an ever-evolving environmental monitoring solution designed for a world where buildings, systems and operational demands are becoming smarter all the time. With multi-parameter monitoring, real-time transmission, edge processing and scalable deployment, it brings together the kind of flexibility and future thinking that building managers, FM teams and procurement professionals are increasingly looking for.

For us, the challenge was making sure the website reflected that. Clean, confident and modern, while still making the commercial value clear. Not just what the technology does but why it matters.

Because the best websites do not just look good. They help the right audience understand the opportunity.

A brilliant one to work on and a really exciting business to watch grow.

💚 There’s still time to donate 💚

On Saturday - we rowed, we laughed, we met new friends, we made memories and we pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones.

For a team with very little (or absolutely no!) rowing experience, we somehow made it through three races… and even managed to win one! 🏆🚣

A few moments we’ll definitely remember…

* 😂 “Lisa… slow down, Jules!” (Safe to say Jules’ competitive side made a very early appearance!)
* 🌊 “He's in...!” – Cassie (our cox), after our poor steerer found himself halfway in the canal thanks to our very impressive “STOP THE BOAT!” skills. 😆
* 😎 A huge shout out to Luke, our honorary Oar-some Birmingham Babe, who rocked the pink sunglasses and somehow became an honorary member of what felt like half the crews on the day!

And all for a cause that really matters.

As proud ambassadors for Birmingham Hospice, we’ve had the privilege of getting to know so many of the incredible team. They are some of the kindest, most compassionate people you could ever meet, and we’re incredibly proud to support the amazing work they do.

We were incredibly lucky to spend the day in the sunshine, surrounded by brilliant people, doing something fun together. But throughout the day, we kept reminding ourselves why we were there.

Every pound raised helps Birmingham Hospice continue to support people and their families through one of life’s hardest moments.

That’s what yesterday was really about. 💚

If you’ve been meaning to donate, there’s still time. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps Birmingham Hospice continue to provide comfort, dignity and care to those who need it most.

What a night ✨

A huge thank you to Atul, IXL Event Centre and Tim Hodgkinson for an unforgettable evening filled with amazing hospitality, incredible entertainment and an electric atmosphere.

The George Michael singers Shirley, Jay and Jo were absolutely phenomenal, and it was also brilliant to meet Brummie UB40 legend Rob Campbell.

Still smiling from this one ✨
