Creative-thinking, straight-talking design studio with big brand experience.
Newbe is a creative design company based near the beautiful village of Ombersley in Worcester, West Midlands. Founded in 2007 by two marketing professionals who, after many years experience in advertising and design agencies in Birmingham, decided to come together and combine our strengths — brand-building, graphic-led creative with a no-nonsense approach. We always think creatively, act like business people, and demonstrate we know a thing or two about selling.
Whether you are starting a brand new venture or revamping your existing marketing, we provide an all-round creative marketing service with polished design and photography across traditional print, digital, video and social media.
"ZF Services UK have worked with Newbe for over 8 years. They have provided quality projects and artwork, all on point to the required brief. Items produced for us range from Brochures, Adverts, Artwork, Photo Shoots and a Corporate promotion campaign. All delivered to high quality standards and within budget."

CHRIS PARKER - DIRECTOR

Multidisciplinary Team
From traditional photography and copywriting to social media and video production, we cover all bases with a combination of creative thinking, design disciplines and expertise. Newbe has delivered top drawer creative solutions across a broad range of industry sectors.
01
Our approach
Making an impression requires some creative thinking combined with solid research into who we are talking to and what we want to say. From identifying opportunities and refining goals comes informed creativity. Informed creative thinking combined with a clear and simple design can solve almost any problem.
02
How we do it
To get results, the creative has to win hearts. Hearts are won with a combination of good looks and personality. We craft beautiful looking designs combined with a solid brand story. Futhermore the overall sales message has to be concise, super-simple, easy to understand and inviting for people to buy into it.
03
Design craft
We love design and place great importance on ensuring the visuals are as polished as they can possibly be before leaving the studio. The work has to stand alongside the very best in the industry and never look like an off-the-shelf solution. It takes a fraction of a second for design to win hearts, and that's what we aim for.
"Working with Chris on the Sunsquare website build was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was instrumental in redesigning and launching the site, ensuring everything was delivered on time and to an incredibly high standard. The communication throughout was seamless, and the final result looked fantastic and perfectly reflected our brand's identity. We've also relied on Chris for additional development tasks on the Chequer Plate Direct and Surespan websites, and he consistently goes above and beyond to meet our needs. I'd highly recommend him for any web development project."

"We have gone through a lot of designers because of our line of work (and because we're a pretty fussy group of people) but Chris is the absolute only designer we turn to again and again when we need amazing designs, quick turnarounds and a really lovely person to deal with. We couldn't recommend him highly enough and somehow Chris genuinely feels very much part of our own growing company, as he's been there from the beginning and we're endlessly emailing him for help with one or another of our various product lines and marketing material!"

"I have worked with Newbe for over six years now on a wide range of projects. From brochures to adverts, websites and everything in between, Chris has great eye for detail and his knowledge of the industry is exceptional. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a specialist designer, he is efficient, friendly and very creative."

"Just wanted to drop you a note to say how impressed we have been with every aspect of the different services you offer. You’ve brought a fresh approach to our advertising both in the media and online and your design ideas for our packaging were spot on."

"For the VIVA brand relaunch, it was absolutely imperative that we used a graphic designer that was able to understand our requirements and high expectations, in terms of achieving a new product design that would blow everyone away and have some real shelf presence. We turned to our contacts at Coca Cola for recommendation and they immediately recommended Chris due to his success with the brand & packaging design of The Feel Good Drinks Company.
Working with Chris was very easy – after a brief discussion, he knew exactly what we wanted; something vibrant, unique and something that will stand out on the shelves. Chris's turnaround time was very quick and reliable. His response to amendments and changes was very efficient during the course of the project and delivered against requirements.
The feedback on the end result from experts in the industry, suppliers, customers and the general public has been extremely positive. We cannot wait show off our new labels to more stakeholders over the coming months!"

"Chris Parker is a pleasure to work with – always comes up with surprising but perfectly apt designs which are clear and eye catching. He is easy to brief and interprets the brief in the most appropriate way."

"We have worked with Chris Parker of Newbe now for over 5 years during which time he has completely rebranded our business. From website to vehicle livery; bespoke ads to compliment slips, his eye for design is excellent. It is difficult to create a logo and theme without the fear that it could soon become dated but Chris's approach to presenting clean and clear artwork means we won't have the need to do this for many years. Turnaround times for any requests are extremely good - from a few hours to a few weeks for the more complex requests. He also recognises that businesses do not have limitless pots of money and offers something to fit your budgetary constraints. I have no hesitation in recommending Newbe to any potential customer."

"Chris did a fantastic job with our website identifying current trends and brining our vision to life! Really happy with everything and will continue using Chris for all our future endeavours."

"We had the pleasure of working with Chris on a number of different aspects of our business over the last few years - brand creation, web design and photography. We approached Chris via a recommendation from a family member who had also used Chris' services to set up a striking brand for their drinks company. From our initial meeting Chris took our vision and took time to understand what it was we wanted to achieve.
Very quickly he helped us to achieve our perfect brand design and our vision was brought to life. Our interaction with Chris has always been nothing short of amazing. His creative juices really shine through whether it’s on design, or on photography or web design.
We have always been extremely pleased with the results and in the time they have been achieved and have no hesitation in recommending Chris and his services."

"I can't recommend Chris and the team and Newbe highly enough. For over 10 years, they've been an invaluable partner in building and promoting the Feridax brands. Chris's expertise extends across the board – from high-level multi-channel design and web development to stunning photography (both product and editorial) and comprehensive marketing communications support. He consistently provided me and my team with strategic guidance and creative solutions that elevated our brands and drove tangible results. If you're looking for a dedicated and talented partner to help you achieve your marketing goals, look no further than Chris at Newbe."
