Us, in a nutshell
We’re a team of experienced brand strategists, creatives, designers and writers.
Known for our knack of making good things great, we’re listeners, collaborators, ideas people. As strong on detail as the big picture. Creatively brave, with good reason. Genuinely excited by what we can achieve together.
We work with brands. They’re big brands, smaller brands, established brands, brand-new brands, brands-to-be. They’re looking for strategic direction. They want fresh thinking and bold originality that looks, sounds, feels ‘them’ and helps better connect them with the people that matter.
They’re brands we really get behind. Like us, they care about doing the right thing, socially, environmentally, commercially. So we show them how to build on this, creating a sense of shared purpose through their brand and driving positive change from the inside, out.
We love what we do. We think you will, too.

Our story
Our story started back in 1991. We were just escaping the clutches of shell suits and New Kids on the Block, and entering the world of Brit pop and Doc Martins. It was Pembrokeshire and we were 12. That's when we met, and it's when our long friendship began.
Many years later, after similar career paths in branding and design agencies, we ended up working in senior roles alongside each other at the same branding agency in Cardiff. We were both passionate about branding and cared deeply about our clients.
Between us, we had worked with brands in most sectors, including the BBC, Visit Wales, the Wales Millennium Centre, PHS, Addis, Cancer Research Wales, Panasonic, Hodge Bank and Catnic. But after years of working for someone else, the time was right to do it for ourselves.
And so Marsden_Mee was born. And as our business is about defining and communicating the essence of a brand, we derived our company name from the essence of who we are. Our maiden names - Becky Marsden and Anna Mee – the people we were when we met; the relationship that made the brand possible. But our business isn't about us. It's about you. Your business. Your brand.
That’s our story. What’s yours?
