Luna 9 turns six this week! It’s been so busy lately, we almost missed our own birthday.
As the years fly by, it feels like just yesterday that Luna 9 was Owen and Michael winging it from a tiny, cupboard-like office.
Now there’s 7 of us—soon to be 8—and we’re already outgrowing our current home in Bristol’s Temple Studios. It’s been a whirlwind, but looking back, we’ve come a long way, and there’s plenty more to come.
Reflections on our sixth year
Anyone who knows us knows we keep things short and sweet, so here’s the quick version:
The Good
- We launched our new brand and website!
- We’ve sharpened our focus, saying yes only to the projects that really fit.
- We’ve grown. Again.
- Our new team members? They’re absolute stars.
- We’ve run more strategy sprints than ever before.
- Every day, we go home with that feeling—we want to make a difference.
- Another engagement, and more Luna 9 babies!
The Bad
- The tough economy means we’re all working harder for things that used to come easily.
- Too much saying “we should go for lunch soon!” with our agency partners and not getting around to it
- Our growth is putting the snack drawer under ever-increasing pressure.
- A blood testing design project that led to some introspection about cholesterol levels!
- Zero table tennis
The Ugly
- Nothing is ugly when you have an ace design team that can turn chaos into clarity ✨ (sorry, but they deserve it!)
- But seriously… the snack drawer bill 😵
So, what’s next?
We’re growing, learning, and refining. Cleantech, renewables, healthcare, biotech, and other innovative tech sectors are proving to be a great fit for what we do best—clear, impactful communication of complex ideas that drives commercial success.
Thanks to all our clients, partners, supporters, constructive critics, and friends of Luna 9—we wouldn’t be here without you.
Here’s to the next six years, and beyond!
