Every brand has a unique and compelling story to tell, the strongest ones are based on simplicity and clarity.

About us

Nonfiction is a strategic branding & design consultancy. Founded in 2021 by Creative Director Nick Riley (PDINZ), we work with organisations large and small - from established corporates to boutique startups.

Our approach

Defining a successful brand requires simplicity and clarity, we approach all projects - no matter the scale with the same process.

First simplify - get to the heart of the problem and the core idea. A simple, easily understood thought that defines the foundation of a strong brand.

Then amplify - taking this idea and bringing it to life across all the most important communications channels and platforms so that it cuts through and makes some noise.
