Added by Love Business East Midlands | 28 May 2026
Leicester-based design agency, Arch Creative, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the launch of a bold new brand identity, a dynamic new website and an ambitious “20” campaign highlighting two decades of milestones, creativity and growth. The relaunch introduces a defining new concept for the business: “A better world, by design.”
Founded in a bedroom in Leicester in 2006, Arch Creative has evolved into a 15-strong team delivering integrated creative, digital and growth services to ambitious organisations across the UK and beyond. The agency’s refreshed brand and approach signals a new era, one that reflects both its maturity and its momentum.
Over the years Arch have worked with a wide range of clients, from global icons such as Ikea, Virgin, Samsung and MTV, through to local organisations such as Leicester City Football Club, Mattioli Woods, the University of Leicester and De Montfort University.
Today, Arch offers a fully integrated service spanning brand, digital, performance marketing and strategic growth consultancy. With sector expertise across areas including Health & Wellbeing, Tech & Finance, Arts & Entertainment, and Consumer & Lifestyle, the agency is entering a sustained period of strategic expansion.
At the heart of this next chapter is Bloom, Arch’s new growth programme. Designed to equip organisations with the creative firepower and performance marketing tools they need to accelerate, Bloom positions Arch firmly as a growth agency - not just a creative one. The agency supports start-ups and charities with preferential rates, reinforcing its commitment to helping purpose-driven organisations thrive.
Community impact remains pivotal to the Arch story. Through its Arch Community initiative, the agency develops and delivers projects that make a tangible difference to Leicester’s cultural landscape. Initiatives include the interactive art campaign Street Stories, the music festival BrewBeat, and self-initiated exhibitions celebrating subculture and social history. Working closely with community interest companies and charities, Arch continues to use creativity as a catalyst for connection and change within the city.
Accessibility-led design is central to Arch’s approach. With years of experience, and technical expertise, developing inclusive offline and online assets, the agency ensures creativity is not only compelling, but is considered. Most recently, Arch has been working with sight loss charity Vista and, in partnership with Social Gallery CIC and the University of Leicester, will open an accessible exhibition at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery later this year. Details to be released soon.
With a new look, a renewed mission and growth firmly in its sights, Arch Creative is proving that great design can help to create a better world.
“In 20 years, we’ve weathered the financial crisis, Brexit, a global pandemic and plenty of uncertainty in between,” said Luke Harrison, Co-Founder of Arch Creative. “Each challenge forced us to adapt, and stay close to what really matters; our people, our clients and our community. We’ve come through stronger every time. Now, with a clear vision, we’re focused on building something even more impactful for the next decade and beyond.”
As it celebrates 20 years, the agency’s new positioning reflects a clear belief: creativity carries responsibility.
“Twenty years ago, we started with belief, ambition and huge Apple Macs in a spare bedroom!,” said Joe Nixon, Co-Founder and Director of Arch Creative. “Today, we’re a team with the experience, talent and energy to help organisations grow. We want businesses to bloom and we want communities to connect. We have all the ingredients to help ambitious brands grow. We’re 20 years in, but with our new momentum, we feel like we’re just getting started.”
