Who We Are

Bentley Creative is a boutique design and brand studio founded by Scott Bentley, built for ambitious companies who've outgrown 'good enough' and are looking to be more strategic about how their brand shows up.

Before founding Bentley Creative, Scott spent three decades working on brands such as John Lewis, GQ, Men's Health, McLaren F1, Bremont Watches, BBC and Aston Martin. That's the standard we bring to every project now, minus the retained teams, layers of account management and inflated day rates that come with it.

For each brief, Scott assembles a hand-picked team of specialists, including strategists, art directors, photographers, copywriters and developers. Each is chosen because they're the right fit for your brand, not because they're on the payroll. We believe great people are worth paying for, but large agency overheads are not.

Testimonials

"We have worked with Scott regularly for over two years. We originally brought him in to collaborate with us on a brand overhaul. After 10 years we were looking for a complete refresh to take it to the next level. Through a number of creative meetings Scott really got under the skin of the project, bringing more to it than just design but creative insight too.

Overall he has been instrumental in creating a unique brand identity for our magazine.

We highly recommend him."

Gary Sharpen

Joint director of The Cocktail Lovers

"Put simply… Scott is a superb, professional, likeable, creative talent! Not only is he easy to work with, but he hits deadlines and budgets! Scott listens to the brief and takes time to understand your desired outcomes fully. He works closely with you every step of the way to ensure design, photography, tone and messaging are spot on.

Scott pulls on his extensive network to ensure experts, such as photographers and content creators are involved. Plus, he provides solid, experience-based, creative advice about all things design and brand."

Scott's guidance and encouragement helped me unlock ideas I never knew I had. As a new business owner, I found his warm and supportive approach invaluable.

“Scott has a unique talent for interpreting not only what a client wants to say, but what they need to say. For his work on Boisdale Life magazine, he has created a clean and elegant house style that is also warm and welcoming. This polished publication is now an invaluable marketing tool for Boisdale.”

Scott is an extremely talented and committed individual. A true professional, and a very skilled Art Director. Having used Scott as a freelancer, the companies decision to secure his services full time was never in question.

Scott is also one of the nicest individuals it has been my pleasure to meet and work with.
