Working with us
Our clients choose us because they have high-standards, and need an agile branding partner who can deliver consistently across a range of media.

Our open and collaborative approach means we get to know you and your priorities, so we can function as a trusted extension of your team.
Why "Nous”?
In Ancient Greek philosophy, Nous embodies the pursuit of profound understanding — the faculty that allows us to interpret the world around us. Nous is more than our name, it’s a philosophy that drives us, a unique way of perceiving, refining, and crafting, to shape meaning from imagination.
Having worked together for over two decades, our founding partners have built a dynamic, collaborative team at Nous, where everyone gets to play to their strengths. We are based at the iconic Somerset House in London, a locus of heritage, art, architecture and cultural innovation, and you are welcome to come and meet with us here.
