Hello there. We're atto. We create beautiful, clever and remarkable things for companies and charities who ♥ what we ♥. That's our job, and we really enjoy it. (This is our blog. For a quick hit on some of our work, have a look at this or this or read a bit about us down here.)

This is our blog.

It's the best way (apart from meeting us) to get an idea of the soul of our wee company.

Sesame Tree September 29 2008

image
Well, we’re all finally back from our summer adventures (hooray!). On our return, we were greeted with a terribly exciting email from the BBC. Apparently the Sesame Tree site is making everyone rather happy. We even have numbers to prove it:

  • April: 14,654 page impressions
  • June: 253,232 page impressions
  • August: 2,662,160 page impressions (wow wee)

We worked our socks off on this earlier in the year with the super-lovely people at Front. Atto brought the illustration, animation and general joyfulness and Front added their unique blend of making it all look nice and work brilliantly.

Nancy Stevenson, Director of Character Design at Sesame Workshop, liked it too…

“We love what they did with the characters. The look, design and colors of the art is delightful…
Jim Henson would love it!”

We couldn’t be more chuffed that it’s a huge success for the Beeb. Oh, and we’re still singing the songs.



 

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.
