A composer brings together many different instruments and sounds to create a harmonious symphony! In many ways a graphic designer is similar to a composer, bringing together various visual elements such as images, text, graphics and colours to create harmonious communication.
In the same way that a great piece of music can be created by a talented composer – we believe that Mortimer Design has the talent to help create and develop outstanding brands for our clients.
We aim to give our clients a real return on their investment. Pretty pictures, nice design and great words are all irrelevant unless they’re helping business grow, develop and make more sales.
In addition to our core design services, we work with a carefully selected group of associates in complementary disciplines to complete the marketing package.
We can add value to our clients business by:
> Communicating the right message
> Developing a memorable brand
> Helping our clients stand out from the competition by creating the best image possible
Benefits of having memorable branding:
> Greater customer loyalty
> Increase sales
> More perceived value of products or services
People may say some of the following in conversation – listen out as they may be interested in talking to Mortimer Design.
> Embarrassing business cards! > We are thinking of offering a new service or product > We are looking at running a new marketing campaign > We are going from Sole Trader to becoming a Limited Company > We don’t think our logo or design says what we do > Our marketing doesn’t attract new business > We are not getting a great service from our current design company
Mortimer Design – great composers of successful brands

Commercial Headshot Photographs for Websites and Marketing anyone?
Book your Corporate Commercial headshot shoot as part of April’s Business Professionals’ Month for BNI Tarporley members, for just £75 including images.
Do you own a website for your business? Do you have your own picture and your staff too for that matter on your website? If not, or if you’re ready for an update or upgrade, then April is the month to get things sorted out with Ashford Daly Photography!
April is Business Professionals’ Month for BNI Tarporley members, whether you’re a financial adviser, partner solicitor, accountant, writer, musician, actor, fashion or graphic designer, consultant, therapist, lecturer, DJ or mumpreneur – whatever you do, this is for you to get your marketing, branding, and social media channels to the next level.
We don’t do Business Professionals’ Month often because it’s a really silly price!
In Business Professionals’ Month we offer 30 minute shoots for £75 including a disk of 5 images that we select, fully worked for you. (Choose either all colour, or all black/white finish, or leave it to us to select and mix them for you, so you have the 5 best images – in our professional opinion!).
Got a whole team who need their professional portrait taking? Groups of 5 or more can have their Business Professionals Portrait sessions for £60 per person, and groups over 10 for just £50 per person.
The images are provided as web images and as images for use in marketing brochures and leaflets, or on your social media channels, with usage rights for that alone.
As you can imagine we get inundated with requests when we do Business Professionals’ Month, as we can only do a limited number each week, and there are only 4 and a bit weeks in April! That’s not a lot of time before the early May Bank Holiday.
So if your marketing budget for this year includes a need for new headshot business corporate imagery, ring us now on 01270 618978 and book your Business Professionals’ session at this silly price! Alternatively you can e-mail us on: info@ashforddalyphotography.com
