To establish a difference between The Salvation Army and sagic as a key requirement to gaining a foothold within the wider insurance market. The main driver was to change the perception and narrative of our communications.

Our staff and board are really happy with the work produced by Polar. They have truly elevated the sagic brand into something modern and flexible that should stand the test of time allowing us to grow and explore our own standing in and around The Salvation Army.

Polar used email to communicate and update me on our project. We had regular meetings in person and digitally to review content and progress. We were introduced to their Hive system, however didn't make much use of this - thankfully. I much prefer the human touch element. Everyone from minute one was fantastic to work and communicate with.

Out of the companies we met with when arranging quotes for our project, Polar were the one that stuck out the most for the way in which they approached it. Rather than look at the project as a one off and throw lots of flashy names or designs at us, they spent the time thinking about our business and how they could see the relationship and work developing.

Overall we're really happy with Polar and the finished project. I feel any area we felt needed improvement or done differently was picked up throughout the project and this is testament to their responsiveness and action with each client.

To recreate a website and create a new brand for the races

The principal of Polar Creative was a runner and offered the services of his company as a donation and sponsor of the races/

After an initial meeting a series of graphics were produced for the new brand image. We chose one and with minor amendments it was agreed upon. After lengthy discussions the principals behind the website was agreed and we specified specific requirements. Polar proceeded to design the outline of the website using WordPress which we approved and then continued to complete the work and link it to an online entry and payment site. We were aware that this process would have to fit in with their other work as it was pro bono but it was completed on time with helpful and ongoing advice.

All work was was went through the principal's hands and he distributed through his workforce

We achieved an online entry presence which immediately in the first year reached 55% of all entrants. by 2022 this was 100%. Not measurable but important is the increased profile in the racing community and amongst sponsor and volunteers.

Meetings were held with Polar as an d when work was available and discussions needed to take place. As the time scale was generous we had no problems in organising meetings.

We appreciate their attention to detail, their ready acceptance of change, and their quick understanding of our needs. There ongoing commitment to the future of the project

As we were novices we could not have asked for a more helpful and understanding company to deal with.

Company Director

A full redesign of a brand identity

Heavy Google searching!

The task was to recreate an entirely new brand identity for an existing business. I met the team, had a good feeling, and decided they were the right fit. They really understood the business well and I was confident that they could do the job. From the first briefing call, they go to work and delivered opening versions quickly. From there we were able to take the designs further and I never felt that I was requesting too many revisions. Of course it had to be perfect. After several back and forths, We got there, with every expectation we had. The whole thing was just a pleasant experience.

Apart from Lee, I believe two, but Jess mainly.

I feel polar really understood Our brief well. With generous revisions and support, we received the outcome we expected.

Every step of the way.

The ability to understand a Clients brand identity well beyond just the verbal brief.

It might have been nice to have a session along the way that involved one-on-one time with a designer working live on the project to try out different tweaks near the end.

I run an online coaching service for sports specific training, also 1 to 1 coaching in a gym enviroment

redesign, rebrand and relaunch website, and manage social media platforms

google research, chose polar cause they were responsive, professional, and i loved the work that had previously done

stage 1 was to rebrand, in which polar designed 3 new logo and brand concepts, stage 2 was to rebuild and redesign the website, stage 3 was to relaunch the site, and take control of the social media.

In total there was 5 plus members working on this project, but main contact was Lee who oversaw every step of the project and relayed messages to his team exceptionally well.

The website has just launched, and so has the social media, so the success has yet to be determined but initial response has been very positive

lee, the project manager was very helpful, and talked me through every step in great detail.

Their commitment to make this project exceptional showed through almost straight away, and remained enthusiastic throughout the process

I would of liked things to have moved quicker, and the time frame they intially set was exceeded by quite a bit, but this was due to both parties, not just polar
