# Alchemy Branding Studio

> Brand strategy, design and animation for ambitious SMEs. We make your brand clear, credible and hard to overlook, so the right clients choose you.

Alchemy Branding Studio is a Cardiff-based brand consultancy and creative studio. We work with growing businesses that have a small in-house marketing team, or none at all, and a brand that has started to lag behind the company. Most engagements begin with a Brand Strategy Workshop that diagnoses what is actually holding the brand back; identity, website, animation, content and sales collateral then follow from that roadmap. Alchemy is part of a three-brand group alongside the Brand to Scale podcast and Jessica Morgan Consulting.
