Lewis and Moberly
Designer Mary Lewis and Strategic Director Robert Moberly formed Lewis Moberly
in 1984.
The Sunday Times described them
as ‘at the forefront of design in the UK’.
Today, Lewis Moberly is an internationally
renowned brand identity consultancy,
with an exemplary and proven track record.
“there’s
something
about
Mary…”
DAVID STUART, THE PARTNERS
“So what is it about Mary? Let’s start with
the big stuff, the abstract nouns: passion,
commitment, vision. She has them all in
large measure. Like every winner of this award
over the years, she cares almost more than
it’s healthy to care about, never for a moment
allowing standards to slip. As a designer, she’s
out of the top drawer – or maybe the secret
compartment concealed just above it.”

“When we chose Lewis Moberly we knew that its expertise could not be
questioned. Out of all the agencies we interviewed, Lewis Moberly was the only one
who understood perfectly the particularities of our brand, as well as our brief.
The result is above all our expectations.”“I’ve been working with Lewis Moberly for more than 2 years.
The team is brilliant and always gives a great support – they are extremely
flexible and always try to satisfy our requests (not always easy!)Good creative vision and execution, deep understanding of client’s needs.
I also appreciated their punctuality – deliveries are always on time.
In a nutshell, I’m quite satisfied and it’s a pleasure to work with LM!”
“The new bottle design, which is its single biggest transformation
since launch, is not something you enter into lightly. Now it’s taller, slimmer,
and we have lifted the shoulders, so it’s more elegant. We worked with
the brilliant Mary Lewis in London. The ‘Double B’ has been elevated
as part of the iconography. This did incredibly well in our research,
as it was associated with style and fashion brands,
like the Gucci ‘G’ lock and Fendi ‘F’ lock.”“Many thanks to you all once again for the fantastic presentation yesterday.
We all left feeling so energised!”“On behalf of Sogrape Vinhos we wish to thank Lewis Moberly for the wonderful work
they have done in the redesign of Mateus Rosé. We are very pleased with the final result
and would like to express our full satisfaction for the very professional
and outstanding design work executed on this key project for the brand.”“Monkey Shoulder is in Selfridges as we speak…but you had better be quick,
as it just broke their record, and is now the best spirit launch in Selfridges’ history.”
Let’s hear it
from
our peers
“You can be sure that if it’s out
there and that good it’s Lewis
Moberly.”“Creatives” taking part ranged across the artistic spectrum from David Puttnam, Richard Rogers and James Dyson to Nigel Coates. Graphic Designer Mary Lewis, for example, cut the shape of the British Isles out of a clod of turf to express the traditional notion of a green and pleasant land which needs nurturing.”
“I have just seen your Annual Report. It has to be
the most engaging, vibrant one I have ever seen.
A report like this will certainly change the perception of NABS even more.”“As one might expect the presentation is top
drawer. A tall, elegant bottle is branded with
a trio of three-dimensional Koniks.”These are supported by a typographic label,
setting out the story. The contemporary bottle,
surprising name and story create a tactile
and distinctive presentation.“Thank you so much for your stunning cover design. It means so much for D&AD to have someone of your calibre contributing, I am sure it will be much sought after at the auction.”
