Client feedback
We have not yet recorded a sourced client rating for Made Thought. Send a review source.
The official contact page lists a London office at 1 St. John's Lane and a New York office at 72 Spring Street. Confirm the London visitor details directly before travel. No verified Google Business place link for the London office was established.
Bring the commercial challenge, brand history, audience evidence and priority applications to the brief. Ask for separate strategy, design, testing and rollout milestones, including prototypes where materials or packaging are important. The official people page describes collaboration across London and New York, so confirm the proposed team's location and senior involvement. Require a scope for implementation and governance rather than assuming a brand presentation covers operational rollout. Confirm production budgets, technical build partners and support separately; no standard fee or current delivery capacity was established.
Made Thought lists research, architecture, positioning, narrative and naming. Agree the business decisions to resolve, research inputs and stakeholder approval structure. For a new portfolio or market entry, require a clear explanation of how the strategy will guide subsequent creative choices.
View service evidence ↗The offer includes identity, typography, packaging, editorial and digital experience design. Specify required applications and production constraints early. Ask for usable guidelines and assets, with clear rights for fonts, imagery and any commissioned work.
View service evidence ↗Published services connect communication strategy with campaigns, content and activations. Define audiences, channels, asset quantities and adaptation requirements before agreeing fees. Establish which activities are creative development and which include production, distribution or ongoing management.
View service evidence ↗Photo and print production, three-dimensional visualisation, prototyping and AI-assisted asset work appear in the service list. Request supplier responsibilities, approval gates and quality checks; for generated assets, agree provenance, usage rights and human review.
View service evidence ↗Made Thought lists G.F. Smith in its official design portfolio. The client's Colour Directions page explicitly credits the studio with designing printed swatches using colour palettes informed by FranklinTill's trend research. This provides a documented example of turning research into a physical design format. The client identifies releases from 2015 to 2017, so this should not be read as proof of a current commission or the authorship of G.F. Smith's latest identity.
Read the published work ↗Published by the agency. Results have not been independently verified.
Made Thought's contact page identifies it as part of AKQA, so buyers comparing it with other AKQA listings should account for shared ownership while checking the actual delivery team. Portfolio selection is not independent outcome measurement. The older Colour Directions example proves a design credit, not a current client relationship or a promise of similar results.
No verified retainer or rate is recorded in this profile. Ask for a scope-specific quote, including the billing currency, taxes, media spend, production costs and any local delivery partners.
Agree the named team, approval responsibilities, reporting timetable, usage rights and handover before commissioning work. These are procurement considerations, not confirmed contract terms.
