Branding Agency Partner & Referral Programme

Our partners share a common trait with our clients: ambition, and a care for who they work with.

Consultancies and advisors – management, strategy, financial and legal advisors whose clients are launching, repositioning or preparing for their next chapter.
Agencies and studios – digital, PR, media, architecture and interior design practices whose clients need brand strategy, identity or activation beyond their own remit.
Business developers and connectors – individuals with strong networks in property, hospitality, drinks, lifestyle and professional services.
Investors and operators – those guiding portfolio businesses towards clarity, distinction and growth.

If your network includes brands that value intelligence, originality and a sense of craft, we should be talking.

Every partnership carries its own rhythm. The mechanics, though, are refreshingly simple.

1. Introduce. Share the opportunity with us – a name, a context, a warm introduction. We’ll tell you quickly and honestly whether it’s a fit.

2. We take it from there. Our new business team leads every conversation with the same clarity, craft and discretion we bring to our client work. You stay as close to the process as you wish – silent partner or active collaborator.

3. The project goes live. When a referred project is signed and goes live, your introduction is recognised on the terms we shaped together at the outset – reflecting the nature of the referral and the shape of the project. Clear, straightforward and honoured promptly.

An introduction to Spinach is a compliment to your client, not a hand-off.

Every referred brand receives the full weight of our studio – deep discovery, sharp strategy, and creativity built to endure. From brand strategy and naming to identity, packaging and activation, they’ll sit beside a team that has shaped work for global icons and rising challengers alike.

They’ll never feel like a lead. They’ll feel like a Spinach client – because from the first meeting, that’s exactly what they are.

We believe good introductions deserve proper recognition – and that conversations about commercial terms belong between partners, not on a webpage.

Like our client work, our partnerships are bespoke, never formulaic. No two introductions are alike, and no two projects take quite the same shape – so recognition is shaped around each one: the nature of the referral, the scope of the work, the role you choose to play. What never varies is this: terms are discussed openly and agreed before any introduction is made, so there’s no ambiguity about where you stand. And when a referred client returns for further work, so does your relationship with us.

Collaboration is key – the best work happens in partnerships built on trust, challenge and shared ambition. That principle guides how we work with clients, and it guides how we work with partners.

We believe these arrangements should hold up in daylight. We’re comfortable with any client knowing an introduction came through our partner network – though whether and how that’s shared always remains your choice. Your client relationships stay yours. Your introductions are handled with care. And the work we deliver will reflect well on the person who made it possible: you.
