How we work, who we work with, client testimonials

We deliver many messages, for a very wide range of people and projects, broadly grouped into three areas:

CLIENTS AND COLLABORATORS

Photographers & Artists

We work with some of the world’s foremost photographers, including Rankin and Tom Stoddart. We also work with Getty Images and Reuters, two of the largest photographic agencies in the world. Photographic exhibitions are all about the pictures – the images need to be printed perfectly, mounted precisely and beautifully lit.

Charities & NGOs

Cultural centres experience an extraordinarily high footfall every day. Their exhibitions need to be instantly arresting and distracting. Charities and NGOs always have a story to tell, a cause to engage with. Many are dealing with major humanitarian issues and often need to deliver a lot of information in an effective and accessible way.

Design & Property Companies

Predominantly information graphics, fit out installations and furniture. These agencies require a breadth of material, from creating whole environments to show-stopping graphic applications. Property developers, such as the Crown Estate and Land Securities work in high profile areas and their projects need to stand out in these busy locations.

Testimonials

In the production of 'After The Wave', Standard8's approach to delivering a complex message to a mass audience was fresh, revolutionary and above all effective, combining powerful design, intuitive understanding of visual communication and faultless project management.

Susan Nisbet/ Story Resources Team Leader/ Oxfam

Standard8 are a highly professional creative outfit. After one meeting they understood what we wanted to achieve and took responsibility for devising a concept that fully realised our objectives. Their work was underpinned by excellent communication, speed, humour and attention to detail

Brendan Gormley/ CEO/ Disasters Emergency Committee

I've worked with Standard8 for several years. Our projects have been complex, public facing and deadline driven. Standard 8 have never let me or my clients down. No matter what curve ball I throw, they remain unflappable and full of solutions that ensure my projects stay on target and on budget.

Anthony Holland-Parkin/ Art Director/ Getty Images

Standard8 built all the structural items as well as creating huge graphics and an illuminated map model of London. They worked to tight timescales and were proactive - plus being great to work with.

Elise Wildman/ dn&co

I would like to thank Standard8 for producing the absolutely fantastic GP100 exhibition at this year's Festival of Speed. The exhibition went really well and I know Renault, our principle sponsor, were very pleased. My thanks to your team for their help in making the Festival of Speed such a success.

Lord March/ Owner of Goodwood Estate

Standard8 were a dream to work with. The designs are amazing and really brought to life exactly what we were after. The quality of the end product was fantastic.

Emily Jones/ Programmes Producer/ Royal Botanic Gardens Kew at Wakehurst

Standard8's experience of working with photography, their reputation for inventive design and excellent project management skills make them an obvious choice for Magnum Photos.

Sophie Wright/ Head of Exhibitions/ Magnum Photos

Standard8 have brought the work of The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust to life via a number of high quality, dynamic photography exhibitions – both in the UK and internationally. They have always proved to be incredibly pleasant to work with, reliable, provide value for money and an all-round excellent level of service. I’d not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Effie Blythe/ Director of Communications/ The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust

Standard8 take a holistic approach to exhibition design which balances photography with the surrounding environment and architecture. Visitors to the Reuters exhibition at London's National Theatre enjoyed navigating their way through the maze to discover the stories of the new century.

Jassim Ahmad/ Head of visual projects/ Reuters

Standard8 curated, designed and produced my retrospective exhibition with great passion, skill and insight, iWitness would not have been such a remarkable success were it not for their commitment, positive approach and attention to detail.

Tom Stoddart/ Photographer

Throughout the period their work has been exemplary, and every location has commented about their methods and standards of installation. They have not missed a single deadline and, as a photographer, the quality of their graphic design and printing has always matched my demands. Indeed, I have come to regard them, not as a supplier, but rather as my working partner.
