We’re Cool Blue – a small team of specialists who know the interiors, lifestyle and retail sectors inside out. We eat, live and breathe the industry, knowing the trends and who’s driving them so that our roster of FTSE 100 companies can rest safe in the knowledge that they’ll always be one step ahead.

Founded 25 years ago, it’s fair to say we know a thing or two about comms, creative, PR and branding. From brand strategy and positioning to bread-and-butter marketing, media relations and design, our remit is wide-reaching so that we can look after as much or as little as our clients need.

Storytelling – visual and verbal – sits at the heart of what we do. We know how to craft a narrative that not only draws the right audience in, but keeps them listening and gets them talking.

The market is moving faster than ever, but our team of relentlessly creative minds rest at nothing to ensure that our client base stays relevant.
