It’s like hearing your favourite bands playing back-to-back on stage.
There’s something that rings so sweetly in the ear when discussing and dissecting the ever-growing creative partnership between the globally known Steven Bartlett and the locally grown, Surrey-based Silverback® Studios…
The fearless factory: Building a home for collaboration
More than simply turning larger-than-life personalities into pixels and passing briefs into burgeoning partnerships, Silverback® Studios’ ability to transform ideas into onscreen realities is clearly evidenced within the wireframes, build, and delivery of FlightStory.com.
Designed by Flight Story’s Senior Brand Design Lead, Imogen Crew, the Silverback® team were able to take on the vision and produce a front-end with all the rhythm, flow, and feel of an instant classic.
A platform designed to put the spotlight on Steven’s media and investment portfolio, the fresh, alternative, and bold use of primary colours alludes to a sense of the solid foundations and trust necessary to develop and grow brands into behemoths. These are the essential building blocks that blend and merge to produce the broad spectrum of investment and media solutions that Flight Story proffers to potential investors, innovators, founders, and free-thinkers.
Design and build-wise, this is a website in stark contrast to the tradition and, at times, lifeless and enigmatic online placeholders of fellow investment companies. FlightStory’s aesthetic and functionality are inspired by the fearless nature of groundbreaking records and artists from the music industry that have sought to change their surroundings. A fearlessness that is so naturally aligned with the disruptive nature and impact of Steven’s brands…

“Working with Silverback on the Flightstory rebrand was an absolute masterclass in collaboration. From brief to launch, they worked at speed, with precision, and handled every challenge we threw their way. Tight timelines? No problem. Last-minute refinements? Sorted. But beyond their technical expertise, what really made this partnership work was their approach.
Jay wasn’t just a developer; he became an extension of our team. He listened, adapted, and found solutions with a level of care and commitment that’s rare to find. Communication was seamless, whether it was quick turnarounds on feedback or tackling unexpected challenges, he always delivered with a problem-solving mindset. His ability to balance efficiency with attention to detail meant we could push creative boundaries, knowing he had the expertise to bring it all to life.” #Troopwork

Steven Bartlett: The Greatest Hits
Having previously collaborated on the personal rebrand of Steven’s website, the team based near Guildford are no strangers to Bartlett’s portfolio of work and his team’s ideation and goals. Such is the standing and acclaim of the work that Silverback® produces; they are often the go-to team for referrals and further builds related to Steven Bartlett-affiliated businesses and ventures.
Having worked on projects that include the 100CEO’s podcast as well as the marketing campaigns platform, MetaStat, FlightStory.com is a testament to the power of partnerships and the reality that in business, relationships matter.

“The main thing that made the partnership work was how easy the communication was. Any tweaks, ideas, and amends could be bounced back instantly, which really helped with getting it looking spot on. I also really enjoyed the challenge of some of the more interactive, animated parts of the site, and Imogen made it really clear how they were to be presented. The design was great too which helped a lot, with clear designs for desktop, tablet and mobile” #Troopwork
