The Pencil Box

15/09/2026

15 years of ideas, deadlines, projects, late nights, laughs (and tears), cake, lessons and more memories than we could ever fit into one post.
We’ve worked with some incredible people, pulled off impossible deadlines and celebrated some seriously proud moments.

We’ve poured an enormous amount of ourselves into it – our creativity, our energy, our hopes and at times, everything we had.
It hasn’t always been easy. Like many small businesses, we’ve had (and maybe still having) our challenges. Looking back, we have so much to be proud of.

Today is about gratitude.

So this one is for our team, past and present.
For our clients who trusted us with their brands.
For our suppliers and partners who helped us make things happen.
For everyone who referred us, recommended us, encouraged us, challenged us or simply cheered us on.

15 years is a pretty big deal. Thank you for being part of our story.

Feeling very grateful ✨
Huge thank you to FBS-MENA for the feature and for sharing the story behind our partnership. We truly believe the best work happens when there’s trust, shared goals and a bit of creative magic in the mix.

Honoured to be a part of your story. Here’s to building stronger futures, together.

In a region where ambition moves quickly and expectations rise even faster, the right collaborations enable organisations to stay relevant, meaningful and trusted. At FBS, we build partnerships not to add logos to a page, but to strengthen the experience our learners and clients receive every day.

Trust the process (and the decades of experience).

Good design isn’t instant, it’s intentional. And yes, we will get it right 😉

If your packaging isn’t doing some of the selling… it’s freeloading.

One of the biggest challenges we see?

Products that deserve attention but don’t demand it visually. We design thoughtful, “shelf-aware” packaging that’s bold enough to make someone pick it up.

Design with intention. Always.

You asked... and we listened!

Last year, we received soooo many requests for social media content and management from small businesses. Many of you were not able to make a big investment yet. Even though the vision was strong, the budget said “love this for you...but.”

We felt your disappointment, but also how much you genuinely wanted to work with us. For that, we are truly grateful.

So, we created completely new packages and offerings!

Social media templates… but with strategy to support you!

Designed for small business owners who want to save time and work smarter.

Each template comes with a custom brand design, clear strategy, content direction and structure, so you’re not just posting, you’re building consistency and a community.

Heads up, we work with a handful of brands at a time 😊

Us, rolling our eyes... in life and at social media.

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by all the “experts” on socials? Be careful out there.

Humans first. Always 🤍

Mornings hit different when you lead with positivity ✨️ Yes, even on Mondays.

Hope this week is good to us all ☺️

Trying to do everything yourself?

Yeah… we’ve been there.

Switching ON delegation mode = more time, fewer headaches and way less “why did I think I could do this?” energy.

Also, DIY isn’t always the flex people think it is. Doing everything yourself costs time, money and your sanity 🙃
