Newbe is a creative design company in the West Midlands founded in 2007 by two marketing professionals who are passionate about creative communications and design. After many years in advertising and design departments it was decided to come together and combine our strengths in creative and copy to create Newbe. The company’s strengths are original creative design with a no-nonsense approach – always to act like business people, think creatively, and demonstrate we know a thing or two about selling.
We never say it can’t be done, we say when for. We look for partnerships to create stunning design solutions and build brands beautifully.

"Nobody counts the number of ads you run - they just remember the impression you make."
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 this comes informed creativity. Informed creative thinking combined with a clear and simple design can solve almost any problem.
How we do it.
We do this by delivering beautiful looking design combined with a solid brand message. We believe that at its heart, effective communication has to look stunning – It has to be clean and inviting for people to touch it, experience it and buy into it.

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!Sarb Bhangle Managing Director, Viva Drinks
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.Jackie Dietrich, Communications & Engagement Officer, The Dudley Group of Hospitals
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.Rob Mabbott, Ramscapes Ltd
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.Annie Belton, Albion Saddlemakers
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!Lalani DeSilva Co-Founder, Emines BioScience
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.Paul Ives, WiperBlades.co.uk
