Cross Origin
Brand-led. Built to work online.
Cross Origin is a branding and web design agency based in Haywards Heath, Mid Sussex. We work with businesses and charities across Sussex and the South East to get their brand right, then build it to work online. The agency is led by founders Piero Barba, Creative Director, and Tim Vaughan, Digital Director, alongside Claire Scott, Head of Content Strategy, and Paul Block, Senior Designer. We keep the team small and senior, so the people you meet at the start are the people who do the work. Every project begins with understanding before design. We look at how your brand is seen today, what your audience needs to know, and where the gap sits between the organisation you are and the one people see. For clients who want that clarity first, our Diagnostics service is a structured brand and digital audit that shows exactly what needs to change. Our work then falls into three areas. Create covers brand strategy, positioning, messaging and visual identity. Build covers bespoke website design and development, with managed hosting and ongoing support. Grow covers digital marketing, including SEO and helping your business get understood and recommended by AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. Brand strategy and website build sit within one team. Your website isn't handed to a separate developer working from someone else's brief, so the decisions made in strategy carry through to the page structure, the copy and the code. Our clients include charities and property businesses, and we have built digital products with and for people with learning disabilities and autism. If your business has moved on and your brand hasn't, we'd be glad to talk. Brand-led. Built to work online.

Story
Cross Origin started in 2019, when Piero Barba and Tim Vaughan left their director roles at a marketing agency to take on a large branding project of their own. The name is the meeting point between brand, Piero's side, and digital, Tim's. It still shapes how we work: one team from brand strategy to finished website.

We have worked with Tim & Piero for over 12 years now, most recently on a brand refresh and new website. They are both easy to work with, incredibly insightful and creative and have a deep understanding of our business and brand positioning, which makes a huge difference!

We (PSPhomes Estate Agents) have recently worked with Piero & Tim to build our brand new website and couldn't recommend them highly enough. They're knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience really enjoyable and we are ecstatic with the final result. Our old website was dated and "clunky" but the new one looks cool, modern and sleek. We also rebranded (so our image matched the quality of our website) and their creative design means we now have an image that we are proud of. Thanks for everything chaps, we're now proud to point clients in the direction of our website whereas we were actively pushing them away before! If you're thinking of having a new website built, think Cross Origin - you won't regret it!!

The team at Cross Origin did a great job producing brand concepts, guidelines, assets and a website from scratch for a care recruitment initiative Active Prospects has been leading on with 6 other care providers. Piero and Tim worked very collaboratively and delivered high quality work to tight timescales
