Why we do it

Filthy was founded in 2004 by Graphic Designer Joe Pilbeam. Joe's passion lies in creating visual communication that has a meaningful impact on the lives of our clients, the cultures they build, and the communities they serve. Joe works with an extended team of partners covering brand strategy, motion design, illustration, photography, video production, and web development.

What the press say

What our clients say

The team at Filthy have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Their approach to the creative process and interpretation of our brief was original, imaginative and thoroughly thought out. They understood exactly how we wanted to shape our brand, and most importantly, they inject an infectious passion and pride into their work.

Geoff, SATV Executive, Sky.

I’ve been working with Joe since 2004 and consider Filthy the go-to design studio in Brighton. Without them I simply don’t believe we would have had the appreciation or success for our brand and shop interiors. I cannot recommend Filthy highly enough.

Oli, Founder, The Flour Pot Bakery.

Filthy created a striking and dynamic visual story for Junction 2 Festival. With a ten month campaign it was important for the art to evolve throughout, all whilst having a consistent brand image. They have a great understanding of how we work and we’re looking forward to working with them again.

Jack, Marketing Manager, Junction 2.

Working with Joe on our gallery’s branding has been an absolute pleasure. His creativity perfectly captured the gallery’s personality, and I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible work he delivered.

Eden, Co-Founder, Helm Gallery.

There was no one else I wanted to work with on my new album project. Filthy caught the vibe and look almost immediately, and made the process very easy, so much so, we rolled into the next one together.
