Salt is a strategic creative agency with a passion for health.
We offer clear, joined-up thinking that creates positive change. Nothing overcomplicated or unnecessary, just the fundamental elements developed into strong ideas and creative solutions that make a difference.
We believe in taking an honest, original approach to any challenge, considering all aspects to develop bespoke and compelling results that work.
Strategy
We are only interested in work that achieves its objectives. Our strategists are experts in untangling powerful insights and identifying compelling direction across marketing, medical, brand and consumer challenges, to provide power for positive change.
Creative
With creativity running through our veins, we thrive on a creative challenge and love bringing ideas to life. Be it branding, conceptual, design or delivery, we pride ourselves on finding a new perspective and nurturing it into a finely-crafted and impactful end product that affects change.
Digital
With interaction and connectivity essential to making change happen, digital is at the heart of transformation. Our teams harness the latest innovations, providing uninhibited thinking to online campaigns, social, video, gaming, apps, websites and novel digital solutions. Designed specifically to suit the challenge, all our projects are efficiently tracked, managed and monitored to ensure they meet the hard and soft measures of success.
Behavioural psychology
Going way beyond ‘behaviour change’ advertising speak, we work with a team of certified behavioural psychologists – expert, evidence-based researchers who understand not just what people say, but what they think and how they feel. And, most importantly, why. This most powerful of insight allows communications to connect on a much deeper level, making them significantly more powerful and effective at creating change that lasts.
Founders / Chris & Kath
Chris and Kath are long-time friends and colleagues. With over 40 years of combined experience in branding, advertising, digital and design agencies, they have developed a desire to end over-complicated ways of thinking, talking and working.
The result is Salt – an agency that offers straightforward, intelligent, creative solutions and follows clean, honest values.
Salt is made up of a select group of like-minded thinkers to create something that reflects their beliefs and outlook on life. Something they’re proud to call their own.
Everyone at Salt shares the core values of honesty, positivity and collaboration. Together we offer bespoke, creatively-minded, expert teams that are nimble, flexible and tailored to your needs. Salt thinkers include:

We’re delighted that others appreciateand recognise what Salt has set out to do
I can highly recommend Salt to anyone who’s willing to make an impact and do things differently. They have delivered outstanding work, highly praised by colleagues and customers. They bring a team of experts, nobody is learning on the job, they do the work themselves and don’t disappear after the pitch.

Working with Salt has been fun. They take a brief and very quickly come back with creative ideas and deliverables which I had never used before, or imagined could work. They can work within very tight timelines to deliver high quality, interactive content to engage multiple audiences.
