Amy said: “Unwritten saw excellent growth in its first year. We are a business that uses design, both in print and online, to the help other businesses increase profits and improve customer experiences. To be up for two awards that identify with our aims and efforts is fantastic; we’re feeling pretty proud right now.”
Lisa added: “Building a successful and credible design agency that helps other businesses thrive is something that Amy and I have wanted to do for years. It is great we’ve been able to do this together whilst building a strong, growing team around us.
