  Mango Graphic Design offers an innovative solution to your design needs

Mango Graphic Design is starting to make a major mark on the brass band movement — thanks to its innovative sense of design adventure and a superb eye-catching ability to make a lasting impression.

Established by baritone player Ben Stratford as a successful addition to his degree studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music in Cardiff, it's success has developed an expanding list of clients that currently includes the likes of Prima Vista Musikk, World of Sound, Royal Welsh College of Music, Royal College of Music and Tredegar Town Band amongst others.

Specialist work

Mango specialises in branding (logos), print design (posters, flyers, banners), digital design (web graphics, social media) and web design, and Ben's work has been seen most recently on Steve Stewart's eagerly awaited CD release, 'Over the Horizon' as well as the development of Tredegar Band's extensive Heritage Lottery Fund project and promotional work for the RWCMD & RCM Freshers inductions.

Combining both

"I'm very lucky to be able to combine the two things I enjoy most — making music and design solutions,"Ben told 4BR.

"Mango offers affordable, innovative, creative solutions irrespective of scale, and can cater for a variety of budgets to help people and especially bands with the opportunity to make a mark in the digital age."
