The Creative Compass Information

The Creative Compass is a solo-led creative studio run by me, Shona, helping businesses get clearer on how they look, sound and come across to those who matter most. 🧭 I work across design, content and marketing, so your brand feels more consistent, more confident and much easier for people to understand. That might mean building a stronger visual identity, creating better optimised social content, writing clearer copy, designing print materials that people will actually read, or helping you figure out why your marketing feels like it is doing a lot of work for not much return. The common thread is clarity; before anything gets designed, posted, written or sent into the world, I look at what it needs to do, who it needs to reach and how it fits into the overall strategy. Because nice-looking creative work is great, obviously, but nice-looking creative work that has no purpose is a lot less helpful. Usually more expensive too. Lovely. 🌝 Over the past year, The Creative Compass has worked with clients across the UK, US and Australia, with the client base growing by 117% in six months and 83% of Q2 clients rebooking for Q3. In 2025, Creative Compass was named Scotland’s Creative Startup of the Year at the UK StartUp Awards, and I’ve since been shortlisted for Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2026!
