one small step
the bread and butter began its journey on one rainy day in London in 2003, with just two people: a brand strategist and a designer. In the years since, we’ve achieved all of our seemingly lofty initial goals and given ourselves permission to dream even bigger and reach even higher.
Right from that very first day, our priority has always been generating a positive social impact rather than chasing profits. Accordingly, we view our biggest achievements not as the many awards we’ve won or the money we’ve made, but as our Certified B-Corp status and the astounding fact that 65% of our clients have recommended us to others.
That we have been able to consistently do right by our clients, our community, and society more broadly is something we take great pride in.

BBC: the bread and book club
Once a month, we at the bread and butter take a break from our work to sit down together over coffee and bread (or pastries…) to discuss a book. This provides an invaluable opportunity for us to not only bond, but moreover muse about the core philosophies and motivations that drive so much of our work.
Each BBC book is selected because of its focus on a topical cultural or social trend, whether that be grand and ambitious projects that boost social mobility, as was the case with Clay Water Brick by Jessica Jackley, or something more trivial like Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond and Be Your Future Self Now by Benjamin Hardy.
At the end of each session, we give a small gift to the person whose contributions demonstrated the most out-of-the-box thinking, broader knowledge on the topic, or insightful cultural observations. These values and this sense of perspective are crucial to the bread and butter’s mission, so we take every opportunity that we can to reward them.
