Amphora Design is a small, specialist design and branding consultancy that has been working with the wine industry for thirty years. Our work also covers beer, cider and spirits; we have a high degree of category insight and unequalled product knowledge, being the only specialist design agency led by a Master of Wine. In order to break the rules, it is important first to know what they are. Our approach is both intuitive and analytical, and we relish the creative challenges brought to us by this complex category. We love using its cues and visual language to enable retailers, importers and producers to communicate the great stories many products within this category have to tell. Our greatest buzz, however, comes from helping products, brands and even ranges be commercially successful. We have a responsive modus operandi, and by being a small team we remain agile.

With extensive ‘Big Agency’ experience working on a plethora of Blue Chip clients, Craig Mackinlay launched Breeze Creative in 2004. He wanted to offer a really personal, tailored service to his clients (whether big or small) so they would enjoy the benefits of improved communication and effectiveness. In large agencies, jobs are often shared amongst a team meaning that brand power can become diluted as individuals have their input. At Breeze Creative, you work directly with Craig, ensuring you always get the highest standard of creativity and attention to detail. Craig has many international awards, particularly for brand development and packaging design, demonstrating his ability to come up with truly effective and impactful design solutions. His clients have something really special to offer the marketplace and they choose Craig for his ability to convey their unique qualities through a variety of media. Suffice to say that Breeze Creative (ie Craig!) is currently the Icons of Whisky Design Agency of the Year 2020. Craig has also won 5 Graphis Gold Awards for packaging design, establishing him as one of the highest graded talents globally (modesty doesn’t wash here – being a small agency means he has to shout from the rooftops!). He was also voted “100 Best in Design 2012” by Graphis* which is the design industry’s equivalent to the Oscars, featuring work from over 22 countries. Craig will be the first to tell you though that awards are nice but for him it’s about design that delivers to the bottom line and his track record proves this. As you browse the website though, you’ll notice he’s rather good at helping his clients win prestigious international awards too which makes them very happy (and makes them lots of money)!
