"I would highly recommend Strong Advertising for design, packaging shots, photography and advertising.Ed has a wealth of experience, his work is of a high standard and very impactful.”

Ed Ulyate from Strong Adverts has worked on several projects for us and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a major project or just a quick small advert, Ed takes the greatest care to consistently deliver a professional product on time. He has a great eye for detail, always striving for the highest possible standard, going above and beyond. We’ve never needed to go back and forth with corrections to his work. The beauty of working with Ed is that he really listens to each project brief and will ask questions or make suggestions that we haven’t even thought about, without overcomplicating or railroading the project – we usually approve his first draft of a project once a concept has been chosen. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and feels like part of our own team! Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

"I recently had the opportunity and privilege to work with Ed from Strong Advertising for the SixKings photoshoot. I'm fairly new to the 'modeling game' and regrettably possess a fair bit of anxiety when behind the camera. Fortunately for the first time I had experienced nothing of the sort working with Ed. He brings a certain dynamic to the shoot with a mix of both professionalism as well as personality that makes you feel as if you're chilling with a good friend. These characteristics coupled with his exceptional skill, vision, and ability to create an awesome atmosphere for a shot out of the simplest of surroundings makes him an expert in his craft. "It was an absolute pleasure working with Ed and I do hope we have the opportunity to create together again in the near future."

"Ed assisted me with the branding and positioning of my business and understood our vision for who we were and where we wanted to establish ourselves in the market. His input was sensible and valuable, clearly he has the experience and insight to back his stunning designs. He is really talented with designing clean and attractive art and makes sure that the branding sticks to the message that you want to communicate. We are always blown away by his designs and thankful for his insight. I would recommend him for any and all branding and advertising needs!"

"I had great fun working with the talented Ed Ulyate. We did a porftolio shoot for my acting resume, and with this being my first time ever doing a set-up like that I was pretty nervous and did not know what to expect or what to do... but with Ed behind the camera there is no need for nerves or uncertainty because he makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera with lots of banter and interesting topics to talk about. He gives clear direction and helps you along the way. I can now happily say that I am ready to take on any photo shoot that comes my way, thanks to Ed, and also that the finished product (photos) were absolutely stunning and exactly what I was hoping for!"

Ed created a brand for our company that has punch, looks professional and delivers our message. It started with a logo and quickly there was a realisation that he can do great things with our slogan, website, flyers and poster designs. Soon it flowed over to a magazine advertorial, career fair backdrop, banners, multi-part table cloth design; not to mention the social media combo advert campaigns. All solid and uplifting material. There is a beautiful golden thread working through these different marketing mediums. It makes so much business sense and is masterfully intertwined. What I enjoy most, is how he listens to a brief and can instantly magnify the idea into something modern, tangible and always eye-catching. A product that our target audience can genuinely relate to. This phase is always exciting to experience. The main reason why he is our go-to-guy is easy: Ed gets design - We are thankful that we can regularly pick YOUR brain!
