Branding & Identity in Ely
The right positioning for a business near the cathedral is rarely the right positioning for a supplier at Lancaster Way Business Park. Plenty of Ely companies have never been asked which one they actually are. As a branding agency our first job is the commercial question, who buys from you and what you deliberately give up, before a single logo concept. We test the leading direction on the situations that matter, a van livery, a trade stand or a proposal document, rather than asking which of three logos you prefer. 25 minutes down the A10 means we can see your premises before we recommend anything.

About us
Clickscope works with Ely businesses on positioning, identity and messaging built to survive contact with real customers, whether visitors or trade buyers. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency 25 minutes down the road, so branding support comes with real visits, not just video calls.
Our MISSION
Work out who you're for before you touch a logo
We start with your buyer and your pricing, then test the leading direction on the situations that matter to your business. That might be a market stall banner or a Lancaster Way trade stand.

Measured on what can honestly be measured
Branded search volume, direct traffic and conversion rate on rewritten pages are tracked from a baseline set before work begins.
How we run branding for Ely businesses
01 / How we work
Research, positioning, identity, application
We interview your customers and sales team, decide who you're for, then design the identity and test it on the real applications your business needs, not just a logo file.

A baseline set before we start
Branded search, direct traffic and conversion rate are recorded before the project begins, so any change afterwards can be judged honestly.

Every file transfers to you
Vector artwork, colour values and a guidelines document written to be used, not admired, transfer fully to you on final payment.
Client Results
One client saw an extra £239,000 a month and a 132% year on year revenue rise across search and paid channels. That only stands up because the baseline was properly recorded before work began. We'd not say identity work alone caused it, but a proper baseline is the only honest way to know whether change is working.

FAQ
The questions you actually want answered
Will you visit our Ely premises during a branding project?
Yes, and we'd expect to. Ely is about 25 minutes from our Hills Road office by car, close enough to see your premises and meet your team as part of the research.
How do you price up a branding project?
A scoping conversation leads to a fixed price, staged across the project rather than an hourly bill. Should you want ongoing design support afterwards, that runs on a separate rolling monthly retainer.
Are we tied into anything long term?
No. The rebrand is a fixed, staged project in its own right. Ongoing brand support beyond that runs rolling monthly, with 30 days' notice.
How many logo directions do we get to choose from?
One recommended direction, properly applied, comes with an explanation of the alternatives we explored and rejected. If it's not right, we go back and rework it at no extra cost.
Will a rebrand affect our search visibility?
Only where a domain or name change is handled badly. A visual refresh kept on the same domain carries almost no search risk, provided the migration is planned properly.
Do you understand branding for agricultural or engineering businesses as well as hospitality?
Yes. Ely's economy spans agriculture and agri-food, engineering and manufacturing, logistics, and tourism and hospitality, and positioning work looks different across each.
Do you only take on branding projects for Ely businesses?
No. We work from Hills Road in Cambridge across Cambridgeshire and into Suffolk, Essex and Hertfordshire. Ely clients sit alongside businesses in several other towns.
Once the identity is set, can you build the website to match?
Yes. Web design and development sit in-house, so the new identity can be applied directly to a site build rather than handed to a separate agency.
What happens in the first weeks of a branding project?
We start with research, interviewing your customers and sales team and looking at how competitors position themselves, before any concept work begins. A full project usually runs six to twelve weeks.
How will we know if the rebrand actually worked?
Against the baseline we record before starting, branded search, direct traffic, conversion rate on rewritten pages and the length of sales conversations, not personal opinion of the new look.
Our business serves both cathedral visitors and trade customers. Can one brand identity really cover both?
Usually yes, if the positioning work happens first. We decide what you claim and what you give up before the identity is designed, so it can flex across a shopfront and a trade stand.
