Glidden

Glidden works as a brand, digital and graphic design agency in Edinburgh, tracing its roots to a 1997 founding in London before relocating to Edinburgh in 2002. Its work centres on building brands, and it partners with what it describes as ambitious and respected clients on projects of varying scale across a wide range of sectors.

The agency treats brand strategy as the foundation for everything that follows, developing brand identities that go beyond logo design into fuller business assets. From there, work extends into marketing communications built as integrated campaigns across media, graphic design attentive to typography, layout, colour and imagery, and website design paired with online marketing to maintain a client's digital presence. Glidden also applies its design thinking to physical spaces, shaping interior environments and branded spaces where a business meets visitors or staff, alongside signing and wayfinding systems intended to improve the visitor experience. Interpretation and information design rounds out the offer, using words and pictures to tell a client's story and support understanding of it.
