Yellow Slate Design is a full-service creative and marketing agency working with franchise businesses and their networks. We support head offices, franchise owners and franchisees alike. Handling everything from brand design and print to marketing campaigns and digital delivery. Whether you’re a franchisor protecting a national brand or a franchisee promoting a single location, we make consistent, professional marketing easy to roll out.

Franchise marketing is a balancing act: head office needs brand consistency, franchisees need local flexibility, and everyone needs it to happen quickly. Too often, that means bottlenecks, off-brand materials, or marketing teams buried in repetitive requests. We remove that friction. Our bespoke, fully branded and custom franchise portals let franchisees produce brand-approved marketing themselves, so head office keeps control of standards while partners get what they need on demand – freeing your central team to focus on growth rather than admin.

Our portal solution is the difference. Rather than acting as a traditional agency you have to queue behind, we give franchise networks a system that scales with them – pre-approved templates, automated brand compliance, and a single place to manage marketing across every location. Combined with genuine hospitality-sector experience, it means we understand the operational realities of running a franchise, not just the design brief.

We’ve grown alongside the brands we work with. We started with German Doner Kebab at around 20 stores – today they’re at 168. We’ve partnered with Lucky B’s since store number one; they’re now at four, with another three planned for 2026. This year we celebrate 10 years in business: a decade of growth, riding the rollercoaster and facing whatever challenges get thrown our way. Because we know business is tough – it’s a series of problems to solve, and we’re here to help you fix them one at a time. OK, maybe two or three at a time.

If you want a partner who understands franchising from the inside – one who protects your brand, empowers your franchisees, and takes the marketing workload off your central team – we’d love to talk. Get in touch to see how our portal and creative services can help your network market with confidence.
