CRUSH
Founded by Natalie Burkinshaw, CRUSH is an independent agency that’s been turning businesses into award-winning brands for over 22 years.
As part of the remarkable 1% of creative agencies founded by women, CRUSH’s approach is one of hard work, determination and dedication to the success of the teams and business owners they support. Their multi-faceted team includes talented brand strategists, designers, writers and website developers who work together to provide exceptional branding, design, digital and marketing experiences for their clients.
Based in beautiful Cutthorpe on the edge of the Peak District, CRUSH is a proven trusted partner for businesses both at home and away, responsible for the likes of the Chesterfield Borough Council rebrand, the website development for the legendary Ministry of Sound, and the rebrand for German engineering powerhouse Ziemann Holvrieka – to name a few.
Many of CRUSH’s projects have earned the studio (and their clients) international recognition, most notably winning at the 2025 Transform Awards Europe and 2025 German Brand Awards for their rebrand of Ziemann Holvrieka. As an entrepreneur, CRUSH’s founder Natalie has also gained success at the female-championing Novi Awards, Best Businesswomen Awards and National Business Women’s Awards.
Despite this global success, the agency has always been a huge advocate of the local area and was one of the original Chesterfield Champions, delivering multiple projects for Destination Chesterfield aside from the council rebrand.
“Chesterfield’s commitment to supporting local businesses aligns perfectly with our values,” says Creative Director Natalie Burkinshaw. “Whether working with a FTSE 100 company or a local startup, we bring the same strategic thinking and personal dedication that has made us trusted partners for over two decades.”
For businesses seeking proven expertise with genuine local commitment, CRUSH offers global agency standards delivered with true understanding of the local market.
