Looking for branding in Chester? UNKNWN is a branding agency based 30 minutes down the A483, in Wrexham, working with SMBs and ambitious brands across Chester and the wider region. We deliver branding that is commercially built, not just visually nice.
Chester is a city built on tourism, retail and a strong professional services sector. Independent restaurants, boutique retail and growing financial firms compete hard for attention. Whether you are an independent operator near Chester Business Park or a growing firm working with clients across Liverpool, Crewe, the branding you ship matters. It is what people see before they speak to you.
Every project starts from £1,500 and is scoped before any work begins. Fixed quote, no hidden invoices.
Chester businesses operate in one of the most visually competitive markets in the North West. With heavy tourism footfall, a premium retail high-street and a growing professional services cluster around Chester Business Park, the visual gap between businesses that look credible and ones that don’t is the difference between getting noticed and getting overlooked.
Brand identity is what Chester customers see before they meet you. In a market like Chester, where tourism, financial services, hospitality and professional services, the visual gap between businesses with a real brand and ones using template logos is the gap between getting noticed and getting overlooked.
Chester punches above its weight: tourism volume of a city twice its size, professional services density of a major regional centre, and an independent retail scene that takes itself seriously. We work with Chester businesses that take that seriously and want their branding to compete on something more than price.

We are local enough to be on a video call within minutes, drive across to Chester for kickoff if it helps, and stay close enough to your business to actually understand it. We are not a London agency parachuting in. We are a Wrexham studio with proper roots in the region — including Liverpool, Crewe and the wider North Wales and Cheshire markets.
Our work covers tourism, financial services, hospitality and professional services — every project considered against your specific market, not a generic playbook. Chester-based clients get a senior designer or developer on every project, not an account manager handing it off to a junior.
