39steps

We’re 39steps, a creative studio based in Edinburgh – a wee team with big ideas and oodles of experience across the design and marketing industry.

Our clients tell us they love what we do, how we do it, and the impact it has on their business. That’s what gets us up in the morning.

At 39steps, we’re brand storytellers, designers, and strategists. Our mission is to help business owners and marketers rediscover what makes their organisation special.

We empower teams to proudly tell their story, attracting better clients and talent along the way.

The brand storytellers

For over 21 years, 39steps has been helping clients shape and share their stories – and we’re pretty good at it. Our creativity works hard. Our approach changes with every client. But our passion never does.

Awards are lovely, sure. But for us, success means seeing our work in action: helping clients grow, thrive and tell their stories with pride.

We can’t do that without digging deep. As a creative branding agency, we get under the skin of your organisation, uncover what makes you unique, and use our experience to connect your story with the people who need to hear it.

There are rarely 39 steps but we’ll take as many as it takes to deliver the work you deserve.

Making the seemingly mundane memorable

Not every business gets the spotlight and that’s exactly why we do what we do. We work with accountants, engineers, funeral directors, and other essential services that often get overlooked in the world of glitzy branding.

But to us, there’s nothing boring about businesses that keep the world turning. These are the organisations that make a real impact, and we love helping them show up with clarity, confidence, and a visual identity that truly reflects their value.

Because when the work you do is complex or misunderstood, it deserves to be communicated beautifully.
