Studio Question Marque ©
We work with a diverse range of clients, including both established brands and emerging start-ups, on local, national, and international campaigns. Our experience spans various sectors, including Human Resources, not-for-profit, Music and Entertainment, Architecture, Tech, Emergency Services, Recruitment, and Food and Drink. We regularly collaborate with clients in the US and have executed global campaigns across EMEA and North America.
Founded in early 2021 by Joshua Darby with the mission of creating an agency that is personable, empowering, and fearless, Question Marque operates as a small and agile team. This flexibility allows us to scale up or down depending on project scope, ensuring personalised and adaptable solutions for every client.
We are also dedicated to fostering opportunities for young people, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, striving to make a meaningful impact both in our industry and our community.
Our values are the guiding principles that shape everything we do. They define who we are, how we work, and the impact we strive to make. Rooted in creativity, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, our values drive us to push boundaries, ignite curiosity, and leave a lasting marque on every project we undertake.
Passion
We thrive on collaboration with individuals who are deeply passionate about what they do. As a dedicated team, we take immense pride in each project, regardless of its scale. We cherish partnering with clients who exude a genuine passion for their craft.
Fearlessness
Fear is not in our vocabulary. We embrace mistakes as the stepping stones to creativity and innovation. We're inspired by the words of Sir Ken Robinson: "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." At our core, we encourage audacity and risk-taking, for it's from these experiences that true originality emerges.
Diligence
Hard work is the cornerstone of our approach. We pour our heart and soul into every project and every day of work. Our passion fuels our dedication, enabling us to give our utmost in all that we do. We love what we do, and this fervor propels us to deliver excellence consistently.
Collaboration
We prioritise teamwork, fostering an environment of open communication, where collective creativity flourishes. Whether it's within our internal team or in partnership with our valued clients, we harness the strength of collaboration to consistently achieve remarkable results.
User-Centric Approach
Prioritising the needs and experiences of end-users, creating designs that are intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly.
Sustainability
We hold a core value of sustainability, recognising our responsibility to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices. We are committed to minimising our ecological footprint by embracing eco-friendly design approaches, materials, and processes. By integrating sustainability into our work, we strive to create designs that not only captivate and inspire but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
Giving Back
We believe in the power of using our creativity and expertise to make a positive impact. We actively seek opportunities to give back to our community, whether through collaborations with charitable organisations, supporting local businesses, or providing opportunities for aspiring young talent to enter the design industry. By giving back, we aim to create meaningful change, inspire others, and contribute to the growth and well-being of those around us.
We delve deep into your brand's DNA through comprehensive research and stakeholder engagement. By challenging perspectives and exploring alternative viewpoints, we develop a strategic roadmap that aligns with your brand's objectives.
This phase includes defining your vision, mission, values, and behaviours, as well as formulating the 'big idea' that will guide the creative process and ensure all subsequent work is cohesive and impactful.
Building on the strategic foundation, we craft your brand's messaging, including clear positioning, tone of voice, and key narratives. We ensure consensus on the brand’s visual direction through a collaborative process, which leads seamlessly into developing a sustainable, strong, memorable and distinctive brand identity. We create all the key visual elements, such as logos, colours, and typography that align with strategic framework.
In this final phase, we prepare you to launch your new brand with all the necessary tools and assets. We start with an internal rollout to ensure alignment and excitement within your organisation, followed by an external launch with strategic campaigns and tailored collateral. We provide comprehensive brand guidelines, templates, and dynamic assets to support a successful launch and ongoing brand management, ensuring your brand makes a lasting impact.

We understand that brand strategy is the art of making deliberate choices to craft a desired perception. A successful brand is not only attuned to societal and market dynamics, but also clear in its purpose, embodying a compelling personality, captivating story, and aligning with the values of its target audience

Campaign design encompasses the creation of graphical elements like logos, images, colours, and typography, ensuring they align with the campaign's intended message and campaign identity. It also involves crafting compelling messaging and copywriting to convey the campaign's message and call-to-action effectively. Additionally, campaigns often utilise various multimedia formats like videos, animations, and infographics to engage the audience. For campaigns involving physical materials, print and collateral design is crucial, aiming to create visually appealing and informative materials that align with the campaign's digital components.
