brand growth for unfinished business
9 Designs® is aN UNRIVALLED strategy-led brand growth studio For established, mid-sized businesses with a rather immodest future in mind.
OUR PRACTICE
An immodest ambition rarely fits neatly into one discipline. We bring strategy, identity, design, websites, digital infrastructure and marketing together, giving every part a clear role in the business you intend to become.
Brand Strategy & Positioning
before a business commands attention, it needs to know what it stands for. Through research, interviews and workshops, we clarify purpose, vision, values, audiences and positioning, giving your team a shared direction and your customers a compelling reason to choose you.
Rebranding & Brand Identity
Your next chapter deserves an identity equal to it. We translate strategic direction into naming, visual identity, personality, voice and messaging, preserving what matters while giving the business a distinctive expression of what comes next.
Creative Design & Print
A remarkable identity should remain remarkable wherever it appears. We carry the thinking through presentations, brochures, campaigns, packaging, signage and print, with the originality and precision to make every application unmistakably yours.
Web Design & Development
Exceptional businesses deserve rather more than a competent website. We bring strategy, content, customer journeys, distinctive design and bespoke interactions together, then develop the experience to express your brand, serve its audiences and support its commercial ambitions.
Digital Systems & Automation
What happens after someone clicks matters as much as what persuaded them to. We connect websites, customer management systems, automation, communities and custom platforms, supporting the experience customers are promised and the people responsible for delivering it.
Brand-Led Marketing & Growth
A remarkable brand deserves to make itself known. We connect search, content, email and advertising around the brand strategy, then measure and improve how that activity supports demand, customer relationships and the business’s next commercial ambition.

Joy Lynskey
Founder · Interior Design
Bringing our brand to life online.
As an interior design firm, my team and I have very high expectations for both the aesthetics and functionality of our website. The 9 Designs team came alongside us and supported us throughout the process of developing a site that truly reflects JTI's expertise, capabilities, and brand.
They are responsive and innovative, with the ability to present a variety of thoughtful solutions when challenges arise. I highly recommend 9 Designs to anyone looking for a professional, collaborative, and solutions-oriented team!

Loved Kiki and his team.
I worked with Kiki and his team for over a year and would highly recommend them. They changed my branding and elevated my company tremendously.
Sally Brady
Founder · Business Planning & Marketing
The most tolerant and innovative brand specialist you could ever meet!
The Elevey journey has been amazing. The workshops for the brand strategy were so on point — Kiki pulled so much information out of us in a fun but strategic way, and the results that came from Kiki and the team were so aligned to us it was magical.
The colours, the name, our identity design and web design are so “us”, all because Kiki listened, learnt about us and worked with us so well that the end result has been perfect. I cannot recommend Kiki enough!
Dr Marttand Patel
Director · Wealth Management
It will make a world of difference.

I would wholeheartedly suggest anyone looking at branding and developing their business to approach 9 Designs. It will make a world of difference and help accelerate the growth of your business.
Richard Moore
Founder · Sales Training
9 Designs has been our partner for several years now.
Kiki was my website level-up. I needed to move from functional to a fully UX-led site that would be a platform for several sales channels. He took the lead where he needed to, got on with the work with minimal handholding, and it was clear he is an expert in his space.
He has also helped manage and direct my brand so it is consistent across my online presence, and when we launched our new Art of Sell offering in 2024 it was fantastic to have their energy and initiative behind the build and launch.
Mariana Lacombe
Founder · Business Advisory
BEST decision I've ever made!
I've partnered with 9 Designs in 2024 and 2025 to completely upgrade my personal brand. I received a new brand identity that was 100% aligned with my values and goals, followed by the most gorgeous website, funnels, lead magnets, social media identity, and impactful messaging.
They're so good that they're now working with two of my clients and my son. I highly recommend 9 Designs!
Georgia Brady
Marketing Specialist · Business Planning & Marketing
Blown away from start to finish.
I worked with Kiki to complete our rebranding to the now “Elevey”. From start to finish I have been blown away by Kiki's attention to detail and methods to create a brand that is so aligned to who we are. Every session felt relaxed, comfortable and fun.
If you are thinking about taking your brand to the next step or rebranding, I promise you that Kiki is the person for you.
Stuart Turner
Founder · Business Coaching & Change
Working with Kiki and his team will get people excited about your brand.
They really know their stuff. In a short assignment they helped me to make sense of my brand and its representation to my customer. I'm able to align my decisions to a clear direction, and they designed and delivered collateral and branding that really encapsulates the essence of this.
My advice: if you're looking to get people excited about your brand, use Kiki and the team. They're quality.
Nish Patel
Founder · Health & Supplements
Outstanding.
Kiki has taken Direct Vitality to the next level we needed of becoming one of the UK's leading vegan supplement providers. We required a full brand design initially but now we continue to work with him for all our website design, development and ongoing company design and marketing.
He's extremely professional, attentive, has outstanding design capabilities and manages projects competently and in a timely manner.
Emilio Paiva de Brito
Founder · Property & Hospitality
Can't recommend Kiki highly enough. Superb service.
Kiki has been fantastic at helping me brand a number of my businesses in the property and hospitality sectors — everything from bespoke logo design and menu design to websites and e-commerce. Always happy to help, advise and go the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the finished product.
OUR process
Strong work is not created through isolated handovers. We establish the direction, carry it through the brand, website and systems, then stay close enough to strengthen what happens next.

our story
Built to connect the thinking with the doing. The aim is not to add more activity.
It is to make the right activity work together.
9 Designs was founded by Kiki Bhaur in 2017 around a recurring problem: businesses were either being handed strategies no one carried through, or creative work with no clear thinking underneath it.
We built a different kind of practice. One that connects leadership ambition and commercial priorities with positioning, identity, websites, marketing and the systems operating behind them.
Since 2017, 9 Designs has delivered brand, strategy and web work for more than 120 businesses. Every project is shaped around the challenge, bringing together the right expertise while maintaining one joined direction from strategy through execution.

They’re built through full ecosystems — where strategy, identity, content, platforms, marketing and infrastructure all work together to support performance and scale. We don’t do surface-level branding or disjointed deliverables. We build brand systems that are intentional, connected, and built to last. It’s why we say 9 is not 10®, not because we settle, but because we believe in constant evolution. it's about striving for the best, while always looking for what's next. We help brands grow with clarity, structure, and momentum, always improving, always ready for what’s next.
