Be different. On purpose.

Let’s work together

Good branding doesn’t happen by accident. It’s carefully designed to reflect who you are, what you stand for and why people should choose you. When done properly, branding becomes the foundation for every piece of marketing that follows.

Brand strategy

We help you define your brand so it has direction and purpose. This gives you a strong starting point and makes future design and marketing decisions much easier.

Brand guidelines

Make sure your brand looks and sounds the same wherever it appears. They give you clarity and confidence when creating new content.

Logo design

Your logo should be clear, recognisable and true to your brand. We design logos that work across your website, print and social media.

Business cards

Business cards are often the first thing someone takes away from a meeting. We design cards that represent your business properly and leave a good impression.

Branded assets

From stationery to social templates and brochures, we design brand assets that feel consistent and easy to use across your business.

Printing

We can arrange printing through trusted suppliers and make sure everything is set up correctly. You get high quality printed materials without needing to deal with printers yourself.

Working with businesses across Nottingham

Based in Newark, working with businesses across Nottingham.

Nottingham is full of independent businesses, ambitious start-ups and established companies, so blending in is easily done. Good branding gives people a reason to notice you and helps them remember you afterwards.

That doesn’t mean following every design trend going.

We’ll get to know your business, your customers and what you want your brand to say before we start designing. The result is an identity that feels like you, works across your marketing and gives your business a clear, consistent look—without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.

He's respected what we required and he's kept us updated at every stage of the process. The result is fantastic and is already generating business for us.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I find anything IT related stressful and as a result had managed to get my website into a bit of a mess. Darryn was brilliant, taking my ideas and turning them into a great looking and fully functional site as well as setting up new emails. Despite my many stupid questions he was endlessly patient and helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking for website design.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can only say positive things about my experience here. Darryn has been looking after my website for sometime and is always quick to respond to any problems I have, going out of his way to keep things running smoothly and patiently guide me when needed. I recently decided that I could do with an upgrade and to bring my website up a few levels. Darryn was so easy to work with, had fantastic suggestions and design ideas and delivered the new website seamlessly and quickly. I honestly can't recommend enough if you want a stress free and pleasurable interaction with great results. Many thanks!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience of 404 Marketing has been excellent. They created a fantastic website for me that has been such an improvement on my previous website. Darryn has been great at working collaboratively and checking things out, and worked really hard to make sure I was happy with everyone and most importantly that it worked really well and was a great user experience. He also has been super responsive to emails which makes such a difference. And created a fab newsletter for me as well! I also had to switch quite quickly from one website host to Darryn and this was quite anxiety provoking however he did it so smoothly and without any hiccups. I would not hesitate to recommend Darryn and his team to others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darryn worked with me to create a new website as mine was outdated and needed an upgrade. He guided and supported me all the way through the process and created exactly the website that I wanted for my Acupuncture practice. I am super happy and recommend 404 marketing 100%

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys at 404 have done a fantastic job for me. I required a couple of videos creating for social media promotion and web display. Fully hit the brief, very good with suggestion and made on point iterations. As a business the power of high quality produced content is so important to portray for hard work that has gone in to the creation. Worth every penny and I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Frequently asked questions

Can we meet in Nottingham to discuss my project?

Yes. If you prefer face-to-face, we’re happy to meet locally. We also work remotely if that suits you better.

Do you work with Nottingham businesses only?

No. We’re based in Fernwood, near Newark, and work with businesses in Nottingham and across the surrounding area. We can meet locally where it makes sense or keep things moving over phone, email and video calls.

What can you help with?

We can help with everything from logos, colours and fonts to full brand identities and guidelines. Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving what you already have, we’ll make sure everything looks and feels consistent.

Can you update my branding without changing it completely?

Of course. You don’t always need to throw everything away and start again. We can keep the parts people already recognise while giving your brand a clearer, more up-to-date look.

I’m starting a new business. Can you help?

Absolutely. We’ll help you work out how your business should look, sound and feel before creating branding that gives you a strong starting point. We’ll keep the process clear and explain everything as we go.

Can you create other materials to match my branding?

Yes. We can carry your branding across business cards, stationery, brochures, social media graphics and other marketing materials, so everything feels like it belongs to the same business.

How long does a branding project take?

It depends on what you need, but we’ll agree on a realistic timeframe before we begin. You’ll know what’s happening, what we need from you and when you can expect everything to be ready.

How much does branding cost?

That depends on whether you need a logo, a brand refresh or a complete identity. Tell us a little about your business and we’ll recommend the right approach, with clear costs and no confusing extras.
