About Us
We are Sunhouse, an independent brand design agency based in Bath. We grow brands through soul, spine and obsessive creativity. A local agency, trusted by global giants, we match sky-high ambitions, but always stay down to earth. We’re B Corp people and 1% For the Planet members too.
We are a highly creative, hands-on team of bright thinkers, positive can-doers and people who know the best work often starts by getting stuck in.

- Organisation: Exceptional organisational and prioritisation skills. You have the ability to run multiple projects concurrently, take total ownership of your tasks, and work independently.
- Learning: A proactive and naturally inquisitive mindset with sound judgment. You are eager to master new software platforms and help drive operational improvements in the studio.
- Teamwork: Superb communication and interpersonal skills. You are a natural collaborator who can deal professionally with external stakeholders while supporting your colleagues and our teams in the studio.
