Brand Toolkit: new for 2026

Big Think Agency is a fully integrated design, media and marketing agency based here in Glasgow. We’ve spent the last 14 years helping ambitious brands to stand out through smart strategy, solid design, and campaigns that deliver.

We’re an intentionally small team which has been built to deliver sharp thinking, agile strategy and accurate design. An easy-going and approachable bunch of people, we add value by finding cost effective solutions and creating engaging work. Every brief we take on gets senior level thinking and most importantly, care, from day one through to delivery.

We have strong experience supporting universities and colleges with creative artwork and design services across both print and digital and have served as a trusted creative production partner to multiple Scottish educational institutions.

As a Glasgow-based agency, we’re right on your doorstep – which means we can be at the University when you need us to be. Whether it’s arranging a quick call or hosting a face-to-face meeting in our City Centre office at short notice, we’re set up for flexibility.

We’re excited to work with you on your brief. Here’s where to get in touch with us.

We’re the home of Good Honest Design and have proudly worked with the University of Glasgow since March 2022. Reappointed to the Graphic Design Services Framework, we are the only incumbent agency, bringing continuity, established relationships and a deep understanding of the University’s brand guidelines, including the brand recharge.

With nearly 20 years’ experience in higher education, we understand how universities operate – from complex stakeholder structures to governance and funding pressures –and deliver creative work that is accurate, on-brand and on time.

As accessibility specialists, inclusive design is embedded into every project. We regularly produce fully WCAG-compliant digital documents and accessible PDFs, ensuring research reports, campaigns and publications are technically compliant while remaining visually engaging.

Over the past four years at Glasgow, we’ve supported departments including External Relations, GRID, School of Humanities, School of Law, School of Medicine, College of Arts and the Advanced Research Centre (ARC).

From large-scale branding initiatives to quick-turnaround artworking, we work closely with the University’s internal designers and marketing communications team to deliver seamless, collaborative projects.

If you’re looking for an experienced, approachable design partner who understands the University of Glasgow – we’d love to help.
