Brand clarity for you, your customers and your business
Your brand should feel clear
Your website should feel right
Running a business is tough, especially when your brand or website no longer reflects the business you've built.
When your brand feels unclear or your website feels out of touch, everything becomes harder, your customers don't engage and the disconnect starts.
your: brand edit exists to bring clarity, calm and confidence back into how your business shows up.
And yes, we’ll bring the biscuits.
It often starts here.
You know your business inside out. But when someone asks what you do,
it takes too long to explain. Your website doesn’t quite reflect who you are.
Your message feels slightly off.
your: brand edit is based in Cheshire and works with founders and businesses across the UK to bring brand clarity back into how businesses show up.
Many good businesses reach this point. We've been there too!
This is where we help.
Sometimes your brand doesn’t need rebuilding. It needs refining, it needs a hug!
A clearer message. A stronger structure.
A brand position, and website that feels calm, confident and aligned instead of cluttered and rushed.
Brands and websites aren't just about 'selling' they're about telling stories, yours and your brands story because who doesn't like listening to a good story and engaging with it? and before you know it you're building a community, your: community.
Steady hands behind the scenes.
Founded by Martin Carter and supported by over four decades of commercial experience across the whole of EMEA, brand and product positioning, listening and learning.
your: brand edit blends calm listening and thinking with real-world business understanding.
Part of the MCS Group
your: brand edit is the brand studio arm of Mallard Channel Solutions,
bringing the same calm, practical thinking into brand clarity, websites and messaging.

visit Mallard Channel Solutions.
Here you won't find bells and whistles, swooshing emojis, focus sapping brand strategy
hierarchy,
thinking in a blue sky or any ideas up a flag pole, you won't find anyone reaching out or
scheduling a think tank focus group!
However, you will find 'us' and a simple, personal approach.
We'll pop round to see you and we'll bring biscuits, because everything is clearer after a Custard Cream*.
We’ll talk in your language, understand what you want, then go away and sketch ideas, shape the words,
and bring it back in a way that feels right.
And when it feels right, and ONLY when it feels right, we move forward.
If it doesn’t, we adjust. Simple.
You don't like it? We charge you nothing, nada, zilch.
And if nothing else we will have had a cuppa tea, biscuits and made new friends!
*other biscuits are available
Look at some of our work
Two very different brands. One shared idea: clarity feels calm.
Here’s the thinking behind the look, the tone, and the choices.
Brand Studio Project
Mallard Channel Solutions
Commercial strategy, market understanding and practical growth support.
Mallard Channel Solutions needed to feel credible without feeling corporate.
The goal was a site that reads more like a considered introduction than a traditional consultancy brochure.
Calm spacing, clear structure and human language help the experience feel steady, confident and grounded in real experience.
- Decision: A quiet, structured layout that earns trust through clarity.
- Why: Most commercial sites overcomplicate things. We kept it clear and made every line work harder.
- Result: A page that feels steady, experienced and confident without slipping into consultancy theatre.

Brand Studio Project
Last Light Edit
Editorial lifestyle, quietly confident.
LLE needed an online home that felt like a small independent brand, not a marketplace.
The look is deliberately restrained so the ranges can rotate without the site ever feeling noisy.
The tone stays local, warm, and a little biscuit-friendly, but never scrappy.
- Decision: Black and white foundations, strong spacing, minimal visual clutter.
- Why: The brand story should lead. Design supports it, then politely steps aside.
- Result: A calm “editorial shelf” where each range feels curated.

No waffle. No jargon. Just clarity.
Brand clarity, website strategy and business alignment
your: brand edit helps founders and growing businesses bring clarity back into their brand, website and messaging.
When your business evolves, your brand and website often fall out of step. We help realign everything so your
message is clear, confident and easy for customers to understand.
Based in Cheshire and working with businesses across the UK, we provide calm, practical support for
branding, website clarity and business strategy.
We also run a completely unnecessary but deeply important piece of research
called the Great British Biscuit Survey.
Each week visitors vote for Britain’s favourite biscuit and the national
leaderboard is updated accordingly.
