What Our Clients
Say About Us
We have been utterly blown away by the work that Blunt & Brave has done for us and the journey we have been on together to unpick the true essence of our work and the brands we have built over the past 15 years. Emilia has been patient, kind, determined and driven in bringing our vision, ethos and creative history into a unified and banging brand. Emilia is quite simply one of the most talented people we’ve ever met - a super-woman, design guru and creative visionary.

The Nutshell
The end result was beoyond our wildest expectations! It was great to work with Blunt & Brave on Front Room Sessions. We set the team an almost impossible task: create a behind the scenes documentary of an album created entirely from living rooms, bedrooms and home offices. Emilia really took the time to understand our brief, and worked collaboratively with both our team and the artists involved to create a really impactful film that told the story of how we made the album in a really fantastic way.
