Jessica Rose is the talented entrepreneur behind Jewellers Academy, and my goodness is she a clever one. As well as being a talented jeweller herself, Jessica has founded two businesses dedicated to teaching aspiring jewellers: The London Jewellery School where students can learn how to make jewellery, and Jewellery School Online which runs online courses to teach students how to turn their jewellery skills into a solid, sustainable and profitable business. In just a couple of short years, Jewellery School Online has really taken off, and Jessica realised the business had outgrown its current look. She decided to rename to Jewellers Academy, and reached out to Ditto for a fresh new brand that'd reflect the strength and vision of the academy.

Gorgeous Kim Sprenger is one helluva lady. Based in Southern California, Kim is a ridiculously talented videographer creating videos steeped with emotion and underlined with purpose. Beautifully meaningful and incredibly evocative, her videos tug at the heartstrings in a big way. Kim creates films which celebrate life and love, telling the stories of those who hire her in her signature style. 

Aimee and Catie are quite possibly the sunniest pair of ladies I've ever met. But if there was any doubt for a second that those of a sunny disposition aren't equipped to get things done, these two put that to bed in an instant. 

Ahhhhhh, The Swans. Lovely Kelly and Nathan are simply wonderful people with humungous hearts and the kind of reassuring presence that you know everything's going to be ok. Kelly has been photographing weddings for years under the banner of Shooting Suzie Photography, with Nathan joining her more recently to create a very awesome husband and wife photography double act. The Shooting Suzie name was no longer working for them; they wanted to rebrand to celebrate their combined talents and to create a feel that really reflected the gentle nostalgia and warmth of their photography. Here's their story...

I'm so excited to share some news with you!

Many of you will recognise the beautiful illustrations we create, which frequently feature within our brand identities - and if you've visited the studio there's a good chance you've admired the photography on our walls, too.

From The Oast is our new online shop where you can browse and buy a selection of illustrations and photography inspired by the rolling countryside that we call home.

If you're reading this from the UK, you don't need me to tell you that it was arctic last week! Snow storms, freezing rain and huuuuge snow drifts might have made getting around, but my goodness was it pretty. You might've caught a few peeks at our experience of the snow over on instagram, but my Dad's photos here are way more impressive. Enjoy!

When you share what you believe, you bring your mission to life. You create something relateable, engaging and meaningful. When brands share what they believe, and when we believe the same thing, we feel an affinity to them that money can't buy. We feel a connection that outweighs the impact of any clever marketing campaign, because it hits our hearts rather than our heads. This feeling of emotional connection is controlled by the limbic system, the part of our brain that is responsible for controlling emotions, memories and arousal.
