From minor evolutions to major evolutions, following industry conventions and breaking them, we hold an unwavering reputation as brand specialists.
We help brands figure out who they are, what they stand for, and why anyone should care. Then, we build the identity, voice and world that makes people actually believe it.
A great brand must be built on a rock-solid foundation; on strategy. It must have clear intent, and clear purpose for existing in the world. At Simple, the process of developing a brand’s strategic foundations involves effective collaboration between our strategic and creative capabilities, and our clients. It’s based on research findings, strategic interpretation and real-world perspectives that allow a brand to be both ambitious, and realised.
We’ve curated our team to match the full complexity of what a modern brand actually needs. From the earliest strategic conversations through to finalisation and all of the implementation work that follows, our in-house team —comprising specialists in colour, type, layout, illustration, language, photography, film, motion, 3D, digital design and development (and more)— can not only deliver a world-class brand, but extend a brand’s foundation across every surface, channel and moment that comes next.
Our work is shaped by the brief in front of us, not but a preferred aesthetic or default creative direction. That flexibility has provided the foundation for how we work since our inception, and has taken us across every sector, discipline and scale of engagement there is. From naming and building brands for founders at day one, to strategically repositioning the brands of long-established organisations, we bring a strategically-backed, creatively ambitious approach to our work, no matter the brief.
Our work has been recognised at industry awards every year since our inception in 2007, highlighting the high standard of work we consistently deliver to our clients. This includes recognition at local, national and international award shots across categories including branding for large and small businesses, and most importantly, design effectiveness.

Experience our Capabilities
The best advertising doesn't feel like advertising. It feels like something worth paying attention to. We build campaigns that do exactly that.
Campaigns that are grounded in genuine human insight, designed to work across every channel and at every scale, and produced in-house from start to finish. Short-term results and long-term brand building, without having to brief six different teams to get there.
From a site with a single page to a site with a thousand, we design and build digital experiences that are beautiful where it counts, functional where it matters, and made for the people actually using them.
With close to twenty years of delivering for government departments, cultural institutions and clients of every shape and size, there’s very little we haven’t built, and even less we don’t have the in-house capabilities to deliver.
We’re one of the few agencies with a full production team in-house, and it changes everything about how we work and what we’re able to deliver.
Photography, film and sound aren’t add-ons we build external teams around when a brief demands them. They’re central to how we build brands, produce campaigns and bring digital projects to life, and our in-house team manages it all from end-to end. In turn, we’re able to create work that looks as good in the world as it did in the room.
We think of digital marketing as traditional advertising with a much sharper set of tools. The principles are the same, but the targeting is more precise, the results are measurable and budgets work much harder.
Our in-house digital marketing specialists put brands in the right place at the right time —whether that's the top of a search result, in a social feed or on a news page— and measure everything along the way. We’re obsessed with results and combine our data-driven thinking and creative abilities to deliver campaigns that don’t just perform in the moment, but build lasting brand value over time.
From print and packaging to digital, environmental and everything in between, our design capability runs deep. We've applied it to brand identities, publications, signage systems, retail displays, campaign collateral and digital interfaces for clients across almost every sector imaginable.

Taylor Martin appointed as General Manager
After starting her career in the creative industry with Simple in 2017, Taylor has worked tirelessly and passionately across a variety of roles, including most recently as Studio Manager. A well-known industry figure, she's sat on the Adelaide Advertising & Design Club's Executive committee since 2018, and in 2021 was appointed one of its youngest-ever Presidents, and on the second female ever.
South Australian Tourism Commission appoints Simple to Creative Services Panel
We'll be working closely and collaboratively with the whole South Australian Tourism Commission team, along with some of the state's other leading agencies, to position and promote South Australia on the national and world stage.
Simple picks up not one, but two coveted Effies at the 2025 Effie Awards.
When it comes to advertising, there’s only one thing that really matters: effectiveness.
Last October, David Stocker and Taylor Martin represented Simple (and South Australia) at the Australian Effie Awards, and brought home two shiny trophies for our “Ummm…ergency” campaign for SA Health.
Make no mistake, Gold Effies are hard to win. Only a handful are awarded each year, recognising the country’s most effective advertising through one of the toughest judging processes in our industry.
These awards reflect more than a great client partnership, campaign, and commercial outcome. They reflect our agency’s commitment to doing work that works, whatever that looks like.
Michael Cervelli promoted to Associate Creative Director
Michael’s impact and ability to add value to our work and the people around him has been felt every day for the last decade. From his first day in 2015 as a Design Intern, through to today as Associate Creative Director, Michael has been instrumental in shaping the agency’s direction, and setting the standard both within his craft, and the generosity of his leadership.
