Agent8 is based in the small Market Town of Petersfield surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty. With studio space in an Edwardian Town House, we’re 5 minutes from the South Downs and an hour from central London.
We work by ourselves and collaborate with a network of specialist designers, programmers, photographers and copywriters from diverse backgrounds.
We produce work for clients both big and small, locally and internationally.
Founded in 2003, Agent8 Design is known for creating imaginative and memorable solutions.
Our approach to problem solving allows us to identify the core values of the brands we work with; we communicate these values in a unique manner that remains in the mind of the target audience.
To put it simply, we create brands. A brand is not just a logo or colour palette.
It’s a pure representation of a business and what its values are. This is why we work across all media, to convey your key message in a consistent and engaging manner.
We mix commercial awareness with beautiful design to create powerful brand experiences. We are a brand and web design studio in Petersfield, Hampshire, delivering creative solutions across diverse industries and disciplines.
We deliver creative interactive experiences that combine user-friendly design theory and strong visual communication.
With the application of appropriate technology our solutions are suitable for a range of different platforms and allow adaptability as your needs change over time.

Content Management Systems – CMS allow our clients to manage and update their websites as and when needed without having to understand programming. Solutions range from simple off-the-shelf CMS systems through to bespoke, custom built web applications to suit a clients specific needs.
eCommerce – We have experience in delivering secure online sales sites with product management tools, shipping calculators, order tracking and statistics reporting features. There are many different payment gateway options available to suit both clients big and small.
The visual identities we create are based on asking our clients questions.
The important part is listening to the answers. A process of Q&A sessions and research helps us develop a clear understanding of key values and enables the formation of a branding strategy.
In simple terms this states who you are, how you are positioned and what your values are. This information is then used to formulate a strategy on how to communicate with your internal and external audiences.
Our print and packaging design takes our clients core brand message and extends it across all printed media whilst maintaining and developing a strong visual identity.
From business stationery sets and brochures through to point-of-sale and interior design we apply our creative process to help clients express themselves to internal and external audiences.
We minimise our environmental impact by using FSC papers, environmentally friendly inks and print processes whenever possible. We also have partnerships with print companies that share our green views – many of which are ISO14001 accredited.
Our creative process flourishes through collaboration between us and our clients. This connection drives exploration and defines the final project outcome, ensuring an effective and dynamic result.
