Umami combines technology, design and an eye for detail to help businesses grow their brand in the Liverpool area and around the UK.
The strategic digital branding agency is celebrating its sixth birthday after another stellar year in operation and exciting projects already in the pipeline for 2017.
Based in the historic Cotton Exchange area of the city, the team behind Umami has built and established a reputation for delivering branding, website design and development, and graphic design projects in the hospitality sector.
With years of experience and an expanding portfolio of projects, the company has now set its sights on growing even further in 2017 as it enters another year of trading.
Among the projects completed Umami in the last year was work that incorporated branding, photography, and marketing, including a project for nightclub Sugar Hut, made famous by its appearance on reality show TOWIE.
Edward Ridding, Founder and Head Designer of Umami, said: “2016 was one of our busiest years to date as we successfully grew our client base to include even more inspiring businesses and entrepreneurs that are now benefitting from a digital rebrand to support their ambitions. Looking ahead, 2017 is already looking to be a great year for us with several large project wins already under our belt as we look forward to securing more clients and setting another record over the next 12 months.”
Ridding setup Umami in 2011 after leaving his position as a Senior Digital Designer at Nichols plc, the company behind drinks giant Vimto.
Since the initial launch, Umami has grown its now list of clients, and were behind launches and re-brands in 2016 including marketing the Bean Coffee Group, working with Chinese restaurant Chy, and updating the image of the Hope Street eatery Death Row Diner.
