    Back 9 Design specialises in helping small businesses in particular, to visually communicate who they are and what they do. It is our aim to provide design solutions that rock... And with a price tag that sounds just a sweet.
    We are also a small company, but we are a small company with BIG ideas, and we want all small businesses to share in having BIG ideas with us...
    So to all small businesses everywhere... Think big, stand tall, shoulders back and chin up... Because it's not the size that matters - it's what you do with it that counts...

    We love working with the great people of Southland (Murihiku) and are proud to say we call little old Invercargill home. We have an immense amount of pride in what we do and no matter how big (or small) the job is, we invest ourselves in it completely. By putting ourselves in the client's shoes, the result can only be a positive one for everyone involved .

    Over the last few years, our client base has grown, from Back 9 Design being a part time venture to being launched  full time on the 9th of June 2011, and we haven't looked back... We haven't had time to!

    How we roll...

    Because we specialise in helping small businesses which - more often than not - are solists in their field, we  initially like to  meet up , have a coffee and a relaxed chat to get a feel for the person and get a feel for what the business is about. This gives us some insight into the way you will run your business and the type of image you want to project. But mostly it will be about the vibe.
    There are then many roads we can go down from here, and we can do as much or as little as your budget dictates, as we understand starting a business is costly and stressful, however we firmly believe it is good to allow a decent budget for this procedure, including; Logo design, stationery and signage in particular. A  good business/marketing plan will help you form an idea of the business' identity and really get you up and out of the starting blocks, but great visual communication media will really bring that puppy home.  

    At Back 9, we believe in "brand "Identity. Essentially, all businesses have a brand, (whether they actually know it or not!) Your brand is not just your logo, in fact it's not really your logo at all. It is much bigger than that. Your brand is your philosophy and the core values your business is built on, which is ultimately the way in which you do business. 
    Your staff can help you to create, maintain, evolve or even destroy a brand, by the way represent your business and the service they provide. But so too, can good or bad graphic design.
    Staff and customer loyalty are absolutely paramount! These  are catalysts to creating a successful brand and achieving "Brand Loyalty" 

    By now you may be wondering where we are going with this and what does this all have to do with graphic design?... But just go with us on this for a bit - yep, there we go.. Mind the step...
     
    So how do we create or increase loyalty to our brand if no-one knows who we are or what we do? Elementary dear Watson...  
    We attempt (and succeed) to create an awareness of the aforementioned brand of course... 
                                                                                
                                                                                 And.... Brand Awareness - is priceless!

    That's where we come in. We'll  help to put a face to the name and give your brand an identity! At Back 9 it is our mission to help you to effectively, visually communicate your ideas and philosophy through your marketing and advertising media, whether it be through a logo design, for a promotional flyer, business cards, letterheads or even a new website it is essential that this media helps you to create an over-all perception or impression of who you are and what you do... Not just what you can do for your customers... But what you Will do for them.
    We will use our graphical powers of design and Illustration, to visually communicate who and what your business is, and with our powers combined we will conspire with you to help you take over the world....... 

    OUR NETWORK PARTNERS IN Design.

    One of the things we can find difficult about working in a small studio by ourselves is predominantly, working by ourselves  That's why we're actively developing a network of like minded people in similar situations. If you need someone to bounce ideas off, test and gain useful feedback from before taking work to clients or market, share resources and skills etc then get in touch with us. I've noticed the creative industry can be quite fragmented and I want to change that for freelancers and small studios.

    Phil studied with Scotty Anderson from Aeon Design.biz in Nelson, at SIT in Invercargill. We have skype meetings weekly and share design concepts and generally help each other out. We both have our stronger areas and as a co-operative can offer our clients a better and broader range or services. So if you're based in the sunny far north of the south, give our man Scotty a call.

                                      Philosophy Anyone...?

    Picture
    Our Philosophy is quite simple. In a world riddled with so many issues and problems and so much greed, we believe that ultimately, people should come first. If we provide our clients with the best service possible, with a product, not only they can be proud of, but a product we too can be proud of, then we believe everything else is and will be, a flow on effect. 
    Qualities such as honesty, loyalty and above all integrity are the key ingredients to success and longevity – not only in business but in life it’s self.
