Launch

Our Story.

Founded in 2001, Distinction was one of the UK’s first specialist digital agencies and, as the digital landscape expanded and transformed, so did we.

Fast forward to today, and Distinction has evolved into a leading digital product studio, specialising in helping growth-stage startups become market leaders..

OUR BELIEFS.

The successful delivery of our work hinges on a set of core beliefs. It’s how we work as a team and how we work with our clients. Getting buy-in from both sides is how we get shit done.

Belief #1

Beta today. Better tomorrow.

We must be comfortable making strides today even if we’re unsure what tomorrow will bring. Keep moving. Keep improving. Learning as we go.

Brand Triangle
Belief #2

Be reasonably unreasonable.

Conventional thinking doesn’t shape the future, diversity of perspective does. Innovation happens when questions are asked. So we respectfully challenge where it’s for the good of the work.

Brand cross
Belief #3

Small teams for the win.

Small teams bring flexibility, speed, expertise, clarity, decisiveness, and motivation. Nothing stops a project as fast as decision by committee.

Brand hexagon
Belief #4

We go all in.

Healthy teams are committed to the cause, even if individuals would’ve chosen a different path had they had their way. Results are hard to achieve without collective commitment.
