Two heads are better than one

We are a unique team of two. With a loyal friendship that goes beyond business, we’re able to have a laugh, but most importantly we have a professional recipe that works too. Creativity and ideas are free to flow, but we also know how to dig in and get the job done – it’s our productive, honest and efficient work ethic that keeps our clients happy with the quality of work and their value for money.

We’re a package deal, offering the organisation and efficiency of an account manager combined with the creativity and ideas of a graphic designer. With a diverse network of specialised contractors, printers and web developers on hand to help out on projects as required, no job is too big or small.

We offer all the advantages of an experienced graphic art studio but without the agency overheads. All our clients are treated like they are our ONLY client and you can have confidence that the business owners are hands on with your project every step of the way.

Meet the Brains

LINDA ENNIS
(THE LEFT BRAIN)

Linda is the extremely personable front of the business, who will look after you from start to finish. There is no need to be overwhelmed or patronised by technical jargon, Linda will take care of all the nitty gritty, while making sure you have full input and open lines of communication throughout the process of design. With nearly 30 years of experience in design production and management in Sydney and Newcastle, you can be assured you’re in very capable hands.

CATH HETHERINGTON
(THE RIGHT BRAIN)

Cath is mostly behind the scenes getting stuck into the design and layout, but you’re bound to see her randomly stick her head out from the computer to say hi along the way. With a degree in Visual Communications from the University of Technology Sydney, followed by over 12 years of small and large studio experience, Cath will make sure your design, corporate image or advertising piece is one you can be proud of.

What our clients say…

My role as Business Development Manager for a multi award winning Tourism Business over the last 10 years has allowed me to work on many projects with Visual Insight. It truly has been a brilliant relationship because of what I see as a key element of this type of business. They get to know you and your business, and they get to know it well, which is why the staff have always exceeded my expectations. The sometimes complex work that we request has always been carried out in a very professional manner and always on time. Working in many Asian markets we have requested collateral to be translated in to many languages, and this was always done to perfection which is really important. Tourism is a very competitive industry and imagery and graphic art need to be outstanding for all of our collateral. Our brochures, flyers, business cards, signage, banners, corporate folders and Tourism Visitor Guides have helped us achieve what we are today, gaining National Tourism Awards and global recognition. Visual Insight has certainly been a very big part of making that happen! Janene Rees

In every instance we have been delighted with their timely creativity and would have no hesitation in recommending their talents to any prospective clients. The Choir frequently is in receipt of comments from patrons and others concerning the professionally pleasing standard of our advertising, which can only be attributed to the team at Visual Insight.

Engenicom and the UGM Group have been sourcing graphic design and editorial services from Visual Insight since 2013. After going through a number of providers without success in the preceding years we were (and continue to be) impressed by the dedication both Linda and Cath display in terms of quality of output, timeliness and style. Visual Insight has proven to us to be capable of delivering a product which includes a rare combination of editorial checking together with a style which reflects our visions consistently on time and on budget. The value Visual Insight have added to our business via their work on bids, reports, marketing material, etc has resulted in us sole sourcing all of our graphic design needs from them and we commend them to anyone seeking a similar service.

Josh Hartcher

Project Manager – Engenicom | The UGM Group

I have had the pleasure of meeting and utilising the team at Visual Insight Design for over 7 years. I first met them as General Manager for a leading accommodation venue in Port Stephens. The business required total rebranding and new business launch. To be successful this obviously required the best marketing and presentation material available together with the right people to see the vision. Well, Linda and Cath at Visual Insight certainly fit the bill here.
Reflecting back from my very first meeting with Linda and Cath to my current dealings, they continually prove to astound me with their works and have been an integral part in the success of all of the businesses I have managed. They always capture exactly what I need in marketing and understand how and why the business should be to presented in a particular way. They also have an unmatched ability to present a business to perfectly align with its business model.
Coming from a background in marketing and business development, I am somebody who struggles to explain in detail my requirements whether it be graphically, for a brochure or in-depth marketing proposal. The team at Visual Insight meet my requirements every single time and on most occasions with the first draft. In all my business years I’ve not found the ability this team has in understanding a client’s needs and presenting a perfect solution or proposal every time.
The team at Visual Insight Design continue to have my support and ongoing work as long as I am in business development.
