About us

A small team that's been doing this a long time

We bring life to your story and growth to your business, which is where our name comes from. We're a small, senior team of strategists, designers and filmmakers, and for ten years we've helped start-ups, charities, public bodies and established businesses grow. You always work directly with the people doing the work.

Our story

Why we exist

Life Growth started with a simple idea: clients should work directly with the senior people doing the work, from the first call to the final file.

So we kept the team small and experienced, and put smart systems behind it to handle research and production. That keeps projects moving, keeps communication clear and keeps our prices fair.

Ten years on, every project still runs that way, whether it is a start-up's first website or a campaign for a global not-for-profit.

How we work

How we use AI, and where we don't

Smart systems handle the heavy lifting of research, analysis and production, so our people can focus on what matters most: strategy, creativity and relationships.

01

Senior expertise

You work directly with experienced strategists and creatives on every project, with clear communication throughout.

02

Smart systems

AI takes on research, analysis and production tasks, which makes us faster without cutting corners on quality.

03

Fast delivery

A streamlined process and clear milestones mean less waiting around and results you can use sooner.

What we believe

Five things that shape every project, every proposal and every conversation.

  • 01Results over busyworkWe measure success by outcomes. If something won't make a real difference for you, we won't do it.
  • 02Honesty, alwaysWe'll tell you if something won't work, even if it means losing the project.
  • 03Simplicity winsWe strip out jargon and complexity so everyone can see what matters and why.
  • 04In it for the long runWe stay invested in your success long after launch day, with support and advice whenever you need it.
  • 05Doing good mattersThrough Nectar Cares, charities, CICs and social enterprises get our full team at reduced rates, with longer payment terms and extra support.

Not every take makes the cut.

Good films rarely happen in one go. We keep shoots relaxed so the people in front of the camera can be themselves, and sometimes that means a few outtakes along the way.
