Chaptr joins the Design Business Association

We’re excited to share that Chaptr has just been granted membership to the Design Business Association (DBA).

The DBA is the trade organisation for the UK design industry, focused on promoting professional excellence and building productive partnerships between commerce and the design industry. The association champions effective design, communicating its value and the impact it can have on business performance. With only 450 members nationwide, of which 48% are London based, Chaptr join a select group of south coast agencies, meeting the standards required. 

“At Chaptr we connect with people and tell stories using design to create exceptional digital experiences. We treat our clients like humans, conducting our business with our personal values at heart; humility, integrity and kindness. And if all that sounds a bit fluffy, you’ll be encouraged by our award-winning web designs and global client base – we’re not above a humblebrag! With our DBA membership, we aim to bring our values and skills to a wider audience.”

– Joe Perkins, Managing Director
