What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Brand design and website work sit at the centre of what customers describe, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting how ideas are turned into polished, professional results. Stephen and Chris Garratt are named by several clients, who credit the team with understanding a brief quickly and translating muddled thoughts into a cohesive visual identity. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the balance of creativity with commercial awareness, allowing projects to move at pace without a drop in quality.

Clients speak warmly of the collaborative atmosphere, describing the studio as friendly, responsive and genuinely invested in each project. Communication before and during the work is praised, with updates that keep everyone aligned and a willingness to push creative boundaries while retaining clarity. Longer-term relationships are common, with one customer noting nearly three years of continuous collaboration across several brands, and another saying the approach to interpreting a brief felt refreshing and unique.

Website builds and brand overhauls for companies such as Looms and Cottonopoly feature in feedback, along with rebrands that customers say exceeded expectations. The standard of organisation and professionalism comes through in accounts of flexible working styles suited to fast-moving projects, and clients mention referring the Ancoats team onwards to their wider networks, returning for further branding and website work as new ideas take shape.

We approached Bert in Manchester last year, desperate for an update to our tired and shabby website. We had a brief, but no real creative vision, and we hoped Bert could help. From the start, we were welcomed warmly and made to feel heard. Through engaged and thoughtful communication over a few weeks, the team at Bert transformed our incoherent ideas into something cohesive, polished, and genuinely creative. Our customers agree - we’ve received so many positive comments about how easy and intuitive the website is to use. The Bert team were informative, imaginative, and always responsive. We were never made to feel incompetent when we brought suggestions or questions; instead, we felt listened to and supported. And they really delivered! We have since returned to Bert for support with our new campaign, and once again, they are delivering beyond expectations. Thank you, Bert team - you are our superheroes!

Just want to say a massive thanks to Chris and the team at Bert Agency for creating the website I wanted. It’s amazing how you were able to take the chaos that was in my head and turn it into something professional. Plus, it was great fun working with you all on this journey. Many thanks!

I work with Bert regularly and I have a great experience with them. The team are professional, responsive, and go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. Communication is clear and questions, queries or issues are sorted quickly. If you need a new brand or help with your existing brand, then I would highly recommend Bert.

I’ve worked with Bert Agency on several projects — most recently around developing my Looms and Cottonopoly brands — and the experience has been consistently excellent. Chris Garratt and his team bring a rare mix of creativity, commercial awareness, and genuine collaboration. As it suited the circumstances they were able to work in a flexible, fast-paced “hothouse” way that to get things moving quickly, while still keeping quality high. What stands out most is their ability to listen, adapt and act, turning complex ideas into clear, engaging output that actually drives progress. Bert are my go-to: honest, inventive, and refreshingly easy to work with. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

From day one, they impressed with their strategic approach, creative ideas, and ability to translate our thoughts into a compelling narrative and visual identity. The team are communicative, responsive, and skilled in pushing boundaries while retaining clarity and consistency.  Highly recommend.
