A short story
In 2008, whilst enjoying a few pints in a balmy London beer garden, two best mates Ben Richardson and William Pepperrell founded Stepladder. Their vision? To create the ultimate branding agency for the global property market.
Over a decade later, these two best mates still drink pints in balmy beer gardens, and Stepladder is still thriving, delivering and expanding… our happy family has grown with Beyond CGI (2017), Studio 185 (2019) and more recently, LongStoryShort (lockdown 2.0), and with maybe more on the way, we thought it best to give our group a new name.
Say hello to Avenue, a group of four creative companies – same founders, same extraordinarily talented team. Born in London, delivering globally.
