Social Media & Email Design Service

In a time of endless scrolling and overflowing inboxes, how do you get someone to stop and pay attention? That’s where we come in. We don’t just make things look nice; we create social media and email designs that stop the thumb, earn the click, and get your message heard. Starting with a deep dive into what you’re about, we’ll craft a creative strategy that delivers real results and makes your brand look the business online.

Our Process

Cutting Through the Noise

A great design is useless if it doesn’t speak to the right people. We get under the skin of your audience to figure out what they love, what makes them tick, and what will make them hit that ‘follow’ or ‘subscribe’ button.

Articulate Your Message

You’ve got something to say, and we help you say it with style. Our designers will create a unique visual language for your social feeds and email campaigns that gets your point across in an instant.

Stand Out from the Crowd

Let’s be honest, the digital world is a busy place. Before we even think about colours and fonts, we research what your competitors are doing, find the gaps, and design a look that makes you the obvious choice.

Deliver a Vibe

A strong brand has a consistent vibe. We’ll nail down your tone of voice and visual identity and make sure it shines through in every post, story, and email. You won’t just have a presence; you’ll have a personality.

Our Creative Toolkit

Social Media Graphics

From Instagram grids that look the part to LinkedIn posts that ooze professionalism, we design static and animated graphics that get you noticed for all the right reasons.

Email Templates

Your emails shouldn’t just be read; they should be experienced. We design beautiful, responsive email templates that look cracking in every inbox and are built to convert.

Ad Creative

Whether it’s a Facebook carousel or a single-image ad, we know how to design for the sell. We create ad creative that’s impossible to ignore and gets you the best bang for your buck.

Story & Reel Templates

It’s not just the grid; it’s the everyday interaction. We’ll create on-brand, easy-to-use templates for your Stories and Reels, ensuring your personality shines through, even on the fly.

Animated GIFs & Videos

Static is good, but motion is better. We create short, snappy animations and videos perfect for grabbing attention and explaining your message in a fun, engaging way.

Campaign Creative

Got a big launch or a seasonal promotion? We’ll design a full suite of cohesive creative assets, ensuring your campaign looks slick and professional across every single channel.

Making your mark

A Seamless Digital Experience

Whether they see you on their Instagram feed, in a LinkedIn post, or in their inbox, your audience should get the same great experience every time. Our designers ensure a consistent look and feel across every digital touchpoint, building that all-important brand recognition.

From your profile pictures to your email footers, your brand won’t just be an idea. It’ll be a tangible, memorable presence in your customers’ digital lives.

Guardians of Your Digital Brand

A great design is only as good as its execution. Without a consistent approach, even the best creative can get messy.

We’ll provide your in-house teams with clear guidelines and templates, making it a piece of cake to stay on-brand. In short, we’ll make sure your digital personality delivers results.

Creating a Real Connection

Once we know who you’re talking to, we’ll help you connect with them on their terms. In the personal space of their social feed or inbox, great design builds trust and makes your brand feel more human.

By tying your creative to a solid strategy, we’ll help you forge a genuine connection with your customer, one post or email at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my brand need to look the same on email and social media? Isn't it a bit repetitive?

Think of it less as being repetitive and more as being reliable. It’s like your favourite shop or pub – you recognise it instantly. When your brand looks and feels consistent everywhere, your customers learn to trust you. It shows you’re professional and makes you instantly recognisable in a sea of endless content, which is half the battle.

We have an in-house team. Can't they just use Canva for this?

They could, but a generic template is just a starting point; it isn’t a strategy. We don’t just create pretty pictures; we build a whole visual system that works specifically for your brand. We’ll arm your team with custom, easy-to-use templates and clear guidelines, making it a piece of cake for them to roll out slick, professional content without ever going off-piste. It saves them the faff and guarantees you look the business, every single time.

What do you actually mean by 'creating a connection'? It's just a graphic, isn't it?

It’s much more than that. You’re showing up in someone’s personal space – their social feed or their inbox. A sloppy, generic design feels like junk mail and gets ignored. A thoughtful, high-quality design shows you respect their time and attention. It builds trust and makes your brand feel more human, turning a passive scroller into an interested customer.

How do you make sure the creative will actually appeal to our specific audience?

We don’t guess. Before we touch any design software, we do our homework. We dig into what your customers love, what makes them tick, and what your competitors are up to. This means the final creative isn’t just designed to look good; it’s designed to resonate with the right people and make you the obvious choice.

What happens if we don’t have any formal brand guidelines?

No problem at all – that’s exactly what we’re here for. We can take what you’ve got, whether it’s just a logo or a few ideas, and build a clear, practical set of digital brand guidelines. We’ll make sure everyone on your team knows exactly how to keep your creative looking sharp and consistent.

Will we get stuck with complicated templates we can’t even use?

Not a chance. We build everything with your team in mind. The goal is to empower them, not create a bottleneck where they have to wait for a designer. We’ll create flexible, user-friendly templates that your team can easily update for day-to-day posts and campaigns, saving everyone time and hassle.

How does a better-looking email actually lead to more sales?

Think about your own inbox. Are you more likely to trust and click on a plain-text email that looks like it was written in a hurry, or a professionally designed one that’s easy to read and has clear buttons? Great design guides the reader’s eye, makes your products look irresistible, and makes it dead simple for them to hit ‘Shop Now’. It removes friction and makes buying from you a pleasure, not a chore.

I couldn’t recommend the Platform 81 team enough. They’ve been looking after our website for over 10 years and truly take the time to understand our business needs. Their services are constantly evolving, keeping us ahead of the competition.Callie, our account manager, is a star! She provides monthly SEO reports and a detailed breakdown of the tasks the team are working on. Our regular Teams meetings give me the chance to check in and share updates about anything new in the business.It’s great to see how the SEO reports correlate with our business turnover — we’ve recently had our busiest month to date, and the website data reflects this perfectly.

The service from Platform81 has been exceptional from start to finish - they work more collaboratively than most website/tech firms, building up a great relationship with both your Brand and your team/people, and it is reflected in better results than we could have imagined. Oli in particular is FANTASTIC, I've never seen a more seamless go-live happen and his efficiency, training and assistance have been brilliant throughout.JillBrave Bold Brilliant
