Hollister is a graphic design company that believes in great ideas, communicating clearly and delivering on our promises - how hard can that be?
Hollister is a graphic design company. We provide thoughtful, effective, well crafted solutions that communicate clearly for our clients, and we have a great time doing it.
Good enough is never good enough Many design agencies bang on about strategy and measuring tangible results but in reality they often over-promise and under-deliver. It doesn't have to be like that. Keeping clarity of communication and the creative output of the studio at the forefront there are three essential client requirements: a high quality solution, completed within the budget and delivered on time. We aim to deliver all three - two out of three is never good enough.
Keith Hollister Having gone through art college so many years ago I've worked as a designer and then account director within my own larger agency. I have now carefully put together a small team grounded with a simple philosophy. After working with employees, partners, suppliers and clients across the years, it boils down to this: people should do what they say they are going to do, and do it well - it's that simple.

Blah...blah...blah... Here are a few things that have amazed, amused, interested, infuriated and generally got us talking recently.
What a big waste of our time 28 January 2009
Somebody should invent a name for that long, suspense building, pause that happens every time a contestant goes out of Strictly Come Dancing.
Looking just at that one show, the 9 second pause each time a dancer goes out, multiplied by the average 9 million viewers each week, across the series wastes 126,562 days of people's time.
Another good reason to get Sky plus and hit the fast forward button.
Keeping it up to date 5 January 2009
When I thought about a rant for the site, the first thing that came to mind was how rubbish design agencies are at updating their sites with news/stuff. They make the mistake of thinking clients are interested and then update annually. What's that all about.
And web sites should not have a section called ABOUT US, when have you ever seen that heading in corporate literature.
And sites shouldn't take a year to complete!
Guilty as charged. Still, hope you like it now it's up. Let us know what you think.
Drop us a line. If you already work with us feel free to send a message using the form below... If you don't, you really should get in touch.
