DesignStreet team.
Independent creative agency DesignStreet is celebrating 20 years as a marketing partner to American Express, a milestone its CEO describes as unusual for a boutique shop working with a global premium brand.
Founded in 1998, DesignStreet specialises in B2B marketing across digital, direct marketing, strategy and below-the-line activities.
Graham Hardy has worked on the Amex account for the full 20 years, with CEO Jonty Hardy and creative director Mick Lakin working on it for 13 and 14 years respectively.
Jonty Hardy said the longevity of the relationship reflected the agency's ability to deliver high-quality creative solutions with the speed and agility of a small business.
"In some ways, we are an example of the American Express Shop Small program in action. Just because you are small doesn't mean you can't offer premium expertise and outstanding service," he said.
"Relationships are everything in business, and we are proud to have built such strong trust with American Express over our tenure. It takes time to develop these deep roots, and we value the partnership enormously.”
