Read London is a financial services design agency based in London. We create considered branding, websites and visual communications for specialist firms, advisors and high-net-worth audiences.
A small design partnership with decades of experience in and around the financial sector, our background spans senior roles at City institutions – from boutique firms to global exchanges – and consultancy work for design and advertising agencies whose clients have international reach. Alongside this, we run an independent design and digital studio in West London, delivering websites and digital systems for clients in finance, publishing and retail.
We bring the analytical eye of branding professionals, the craft of trained graphic designers, and the discipline of people who’ve spent their careers getting financial communications right.
Three core services, delivered by the same two pairs of hands from brief to launch.
Our work spans asset managers, tax advisors, corporate finance firms and high-net-worth individuals across the UK, US, UAE and Asia-Pacific. Whether you’re an established institution refreshing your identity, an entrepreneur preparing for an exit, or an advisor producing materials that need to land first time with a discerning audience, we deliver communications that are accurate, considered, and built to perform.
We’re equally comfortable working alongside in-house marketing teams, compliance departments and external consultants – and we understand the standards a regulated environment demands.
You’ll never deal with a junior account handler or a rotating cast. Every project is led and delivered by the principals, end to end. That means faster decisions, fewer hand-offs, and work that’s coherent from first sketch to final pixel – at a fraction of the overhead of a traditional agency.
If you’ve got a project in mind – a rebrand, a new website, a deck that needs to win business, or data that needs to tell a clearer story – we’d be glad to hear about it.
