ignition point is the fusion of honedesign (an experienced design agency) and ignition (an established marketing consultancy) - forming a formidable force for creative marketing communications.

honedesign was started in 2000 by Matthew Buchanan, a multi disciplinary design agency specialising in strategic visual communication and brand development services. Since that time time, Matthew has built a strong and successful client base. He has worked with leading international brands on high profile projects while never losing interest in the most intimate creative challenge – nor losing sight of his own unique sense of humour!

Around the same time, Kate Kinnaird launched ignition, a niche marketing company with a focus on strategic branding and communications. She has also worked with companies large and small to deliver successful marketing strategies and design communication solutions across a myriad of industries, through a diverse range of mediums. Her company’s reputation has been built on her professional approach and her command of communications ... some may even say her intermittent propensity for verbosity!

It was only a matter of time before the two principals met – and sparks flew! And they knew this ignition point was the start of something big...

ignition point provides an unrivalled opportunity to engage an expert team to manage any communication challenge. Bringing the benefit of big company experience to the personalised approach of a boutique agency, we pride ourselves on offering specialised expertise couple with personal contact.

Our focus is quality of clients, not quantity of work. And we apply the same principles to every project however larger or small – a commitment to understand your company, your product and your market in order to help you reach your goals.
