EACH
Over the last number of years, Zara's creativity and innovative design has helped to see EACH's brand recognition rocket.
Her professional insight and thorough common sense has enabled us to create many high quality marketing resources to a number of different audiences - including the children, young people and families who use our services and those we try to reach.
The very nature of our work lends itself to marketing an array of emotive subjects to wide ranging audiences. By working closely and flexibly with my marketing colleagues, members of the care teams and working to feedback from families, Zara excels at achieving exactly what we need, exactly how we need it.
A deadline has never been missed, the quality of work never compromised and I can't ever recall having a disagreement (apart from enjoyable debate on ideas) - quite some achievement when you consider a daily interaction over a long period of time. A testimony to Zara's professionalism, honesty, flexibility, understanding and drive.
From editing our 30,000 word range of family information leaflets, working on direct mail campaigns, creating displays for hospitals, to developing a suite of outstanding marketing materials including fundraising and care leaflets, event packs, annual reviews, newsletters, DVDs and merchandising, Me and the Dog's work is first rate.
In a sometimes pressurised environment and dealing with highly emotive subjects - there's never a cross word, always a solution, always high quality, always the right result and always enjoyable!
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone - as long as they continue working with us!

We've worked together since 2010, developing the brand and providing clear brand guidelines, running brand workshops and delivering the regular key publications throughout as well as supporting the internal communications team, resulting in a strong identity over all literature.
BCLT
This long standing relationship has seen in a new brand identity, rolled over a variety of materials; a new website, various promotional items and extensive literature - all carefully within the UEAs own guidelines but with enough personality to stand alone.
We have worked with Zara since 2009 when we commissioned her to develop a new brand identity for the British Centre for Literary Translation. Since then we have rolled out the brand on print and online publicity material as well as on a range of promotional items from bags and USB sticks. Much of our work is in partnership and Zara has created a distinctive yet flexible visual identity which meets the guidelines for the organisations with which we work.
Zara is an outstanding creative professional. Imaginative yet practical ,and always turning round high quality work against tight deadlines. As well as her outstanding design skills she is excellent at negotiating with suppliers and sourcing the best quality product for within our budget.
We are always delighted when there is an opportunity to commission Me and the Dog for a project. Zara seems like one of the team, not a freelancer, and her commitment and interest in our work make meeting print deadlines a pleasure!
