Dunadry Hotel January 10 2008

We’ve written before about working for Dunadry Hotel; an idiosyncratic, strangely beautiful place with history coming out its ears. Until recently, Dunadry Hotel had always been talking about itself as if it’s just another off-the-shelf hotel (sorry Hilton, Radisson etc). Over the last year, we’ve been helping shape their message. We summed it up like this:

A place of shared stories; old and new, rich and beautiful.

The Dunadry is (and always has been) all about stories. Their staff are some of the most helpful, friendly people we know and just about every nook and cranny in the place has a story attached to it.

We commissioned photographer Gordon Ashbridge to take a look around for us, and we’re really quite pleased with what he came up with. Here are a couple of his shots:

Who on earth are we anyway?

Oh, we're just 3 people in a wee studio in Belfast. Our names are Karys, Heather and Pete.

Something a bit special seems to happen when we work together, so we left jobs in some top agencies to work together all the time.

So what on earth do we do exactly?

We help create things for people who share our enthusiasm for good design, honesty and transparency in business and making the world a bit better.

We're designers, illustrators and brand consultants by trade and training, so most of our work eventually ends up on people's screens or in print.

3 Things people often say to us.

You sound nice. Can we talk?

Aww, thanks.
Yes, of course we'd like to talk to you.

Just email pete@helloatto.com or give us a ring on [+44] (0)28 9027 8338

You sound nice. Can I have a job?

Well, we're only little, but we're always on the lookout for people who can help us out on various bits and pieces, so if you don't think you're exceptionally talented or exceptionally clever, but your friends think you're both, please get in touch.

Atto? That's not even a word.

Don't be cheeky. Yes it is.
