About this project.

The Seed are a Portsmouth-based band blending post-punk, psych, and grunge. I’ve been working with them since early 2025 to shape a consistent digital presence that reflects their sound and energy.

I created a bold new brand identity rooted in their original artwork, built them a custom WordPress website with gig listings and streaming links, and now manage their Instagram and Facebook accounts day-to-day. From designing social templates to capturing live content at shows, I help them show up professionally and grow their following.

Testimonial

We had the pleasure of working with Jo to help us develop our logo and to give our social media a thorough going over and make it useful.

She did a fantastic job helping us to get to the logo we’ve decided on (which is no mean feat!) and managed to understand what we were doing and translate that into a distinct look and feel.

On the social side, Jo has managed everything from content planning to posting and engagement. Their work helped us grow our audience and get in contact with other similar groups and ultimately helped to book more gigs.

She’s reliable, creative, easy to communicate with and can turn things around fast. I’d happily recommend Starboard for any future projects or roles in branding or social media.
