The problem

A designer makes the logo. A printer gets the colour wrong. A developer ignores the guidelines. A software vendor puts someone else’s name on your receipt.

Four suppliers, and nobody responsible for how the whole thing looks to a customer. The owner ends up managing it, usually late at night. We replace the four with one.

What we do

Four moments where a customer meets your business. We build all four.

  1. 01

    Seen

    “Do we look like the company we have become?”

    Brand strategy and identity. We work out what you should be known for, then design the system that says it: name, mark, type, colour, voice.

    Brand identity
  2. 02

    Held

    “Does everything we hand out match?”

    Print, signage, packaging and merchandise, produced on our own floor. The brand we design is the brand that comes off the press.

  3. 03

    Found

    “Can the right people find us, and choose us?”

    Websites built to load fast on mobile data and to turn visits into enquiries, supported by search, paid media and content.

    Websites and marketing
  4. 04

    Run

    “Why are we still running this on spreadsheets and WhatsApp?”

    ERP, POS, CRM and automation fitted to how your business actually works, with your brand on every screen and every receipt.

Nexus Print

We do not send your brand out to be printed. We print it.

Business cards, banners, signage, packaging and merchandise are produced on our own floor, by the studio that designed them. Need print on its own? The shop has live prices in shillings and takes mobile money.
