Brand Four

Graphic design and marketing agency BrandFour has enjoyed rapid growth since it was launched in 2006. The business had four employees when it moved into Sparkhouse Studios soon after launch and since then the complement of staff has doubled. BrandFour now rents a more spacious office in the new Enterprise@Lincoln building, where eight people work on design, web, marketing and branding projects for local and national companies.

"My business partner Sim Bellandini and I decided to build a new brand in the region for graphic design, web development and marketing services," said Director Andrew Talkes. "We chose Sparkhouse Studios because of its location, its price and the range of services it offered. "It's in the city centre, so it gives us easy access to our customer base, and it provides opportunities to meet and network with other like-minded business people." "We still get valuable support from the University but as a more mature business the relationship has moved on and we now offer our services back to the University and to other businesses in Sparkhouse."

BrandFour already works with some of Lincoln's best known names, including Lindum Group, HomeLet and Mundys, while its portfolio of corporate clients includes Coca-Cola and the Mainstay Group. Andrew's advice to entrepreneurs is don't be afraid of making mistakes as long as you learn from them. "You're bound to make wrong decisions from time to time," he says. "The key thing is to reflect on those decisions, adapt and change.
