Design for Brighton businesses
Brighton and Hove already has plenty of designers. The city's digital and creative sector is one of the strongest outside London, with agencies, games studios and freelancers working from places such as New England House and the Plus X hub at Preston Barracks. So a Brighton business looking at a design firm in Mansfield usually wants something specific: a fixed price, a quick second pair of hands, or a mix of design and photography from one supplier. Local agencies sometimes need overflow help with artwork, resizing campaigns into dozens of social and display formats, or turning a brand into templates, while keeping the client relationship themselves.
Tourism is the other big story. The seafront, Brighton Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion and the Brighton Centre bring visitors all year, supporting hotels, guest houses, bars, restaurants and venues. Hospitality design means room guides, breakfast and bar menus, signage, gift vouchers and photography that works on booking sites. See our page on design for hotels and hospitality for more.
The Lanes and North Laine are known for independent shops, cafés and boutiques. Many sell online as well as in store, which brings a need for product photography, packaging, swing tags, carrier bag artwork and consistent social graphics. Brighton's independents tend to want a strong personality in their branding, so illustration and custom lettering come up more than in many towns.
The University of Sussex and the University of Brighton add student-facing businesses, and American Express has its European headquarters in the city, supporting corporate events and suppliers.
