Tick Tock Marketing Materials

A refreshing design partnership with a top tea brand

That eye-poppingly colourful e-commerce site isn’t all we’ve done for Tick Tock. The independent, family-run brand’s been obsessed by all things tea and design for over a century. And while we haven’t been around as long as that, we’ve provided creative direction, design services, marketing guidance and more ever since the early days of Lark.

Thinking

We’ve spent years designing, directing, and advising across a range of touchpoints to keep Tick Tock’s marketing on point. Working with Lark gives them the creative foundations they need to roll out everything from print ads to social posts — without ever leaving their brand behind. For a busy, tight-knit marketing team, it just makes sense.

Outcome

Print advertising, exhibition designs, window displays, promotional products, social graphics, posters — the list goes on. Whatever we’re designing, we always go back to what makes the brand unique: joy and playfulness blended with seriously high quality tea. And to give the brand extra mileage, over the years we’ve extended the visual assets without losing the core identity.

While other tea brands are cool and calm, saturated in soft pastels, Tick Tock’s proud to stand out. So everything’s bright, bold, and fun. The trade adverts are a great example — the poppy colours, attention-grabbing headings and colourful characters shine in a sea of samey pack shots. They feel more like brand adverts than classic sales spots. 

From one-off promo products and exhibition design to long-term brand building, Tick Tock can come to us for anything. That’s what a good partnership’s all about.
