Do You Need A Creative Design Agency?

“Creative design agency.”  For some people, those words might not mean very much.  What does a creative design agency even do?

For some, the phrase may conjour up an image of a swanky office, filled with people who use sentences like “push the envelope” or “blue sky thinking,” who are just waiting to charge you a zillion pounds for drawing a squiggle.

Do you remember your first trip to a museum?

When Little Bird Emma was little, her grandparents lived in London and she was lucky enough to have fairly frequent visits to incredible places like The Natural History Museum, The V&A and The Science Museum.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the Manic Street Preachers changed my life.  From galvanising my leftie views to encouraging me to seek out art and literature, they came crashing into my world when I was a hormonal teen and they still have permanent residence in my affections now that I’m a hormonal adult.

As a result, when I heard that Marc Burrows was releasing a book, charting the band’s career – with fourteen writers producing essays on each of the Manics’ albums – I was very much in.

International Women’s Day has been marked every year since 1911 and its vital mission is the same now as it was when it started – to celebrate the achievements of women in all walks of life and to amplify the call for gender equality. As a female-run business, Little Bird Creative have decided to use our Wordy Wednesday blog post this week as an opportunity to talk about some of the incredible women who inspire us.
