Powering Progress

Northern Powergrid delivers electricity to more than 8 million people across the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, and is driving investment in the network to support the UK’s journey to net zero. For over a decade, we’ve been their creative partner, helping them communicate this vital work with clarity and impact. From detailed annual reports to multi-layered campaigns and flagship events, our team has become a trusted extension of theirs. We’re proud of the relationship we’ve built and the role our work plays in supporting such an important mission.

“I’m really proud of how we’ve helped push the visual style of Northern Powergrid’s brand over the years. The nature of the work is fast-paced and demanding, with tight deadlines, quick turnarounds, and a lot of layers to manage across multiple departments. It’s in those moments that we feel most proud, because no matter how complex or demanding the brief, we rise to the challenge and deliver consistently. It shows how building strong, lasting relationships can bring out the very best in a creative partnership.”

Reports and submissions

Delivering reports for Northern Powergrid is always a detailed and collaborative process. With strict page limits to work within, there’s a constant balance between creative presentation and clear content delivery. We work closely with the client to identify which spreads deserve hero treatment and visual impact, while others need to focus on information and clarity. Alongside this, we carefully consider imagery, layout, and data visualisation, ensuring complex information is presented in a way that’s both accessible and engaging.

Designing data

Data plays a huge role in how Northern Powergrid communicates, and making it easy to digest is essential. We create a mix of static visuals, graphs, and infographics for reports and social media, as well as motion graphics for events and online platforms where information needs to be brought to life. Great infographic design can transform complex data into something clear and engaging, helping audiences quickly understand key points and takeaways. Whether static or animated, these visuals are a vital tool for improving readability and ensuring messages land effectively.
