Brand Creation, Stewardship & Multi-Disciplinary Applications

I was hired in 2016 to be the founding Principal of a new international Primary school in Hong Kong. As an educator with over 30 years’ international school experience, establishing the educational aspects of the school was my strength. However, I needed help to promote the new school in the Hong Kong market. From the very beginning, working with Heidi Von Creytz and her team at Cheddar Media was an exceptional experience. Heidi took the time to understand the heritage of both Hong Kong Construction Association (HKCA) and Po Leung Kuk (PLK), as well as our vision for the future of the school, and translated this understanding into a brand identity that still truly captures the spirit of HKCAPLK School today. The attention to detail, creativity, and care that Heidi and her team brought to every aspect – from creating our logo and colour palette, to uniforms, notebooks, signage and our website – was invaluable in helping us establish a strong, unified presence in Hong Kong’s educational landscape. Heidi’s ongoing support, whether through design tasks, website updates and maintenance, or day-to-day creative needs, made Cheddar Media a trusted extension of our school team. We deeply appreciate the collaborative approach, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to sustainability and meaningful impact that Heidi and Cheddar Media brought. Thank you for helping us build a school community that students, staff, and families have been, and still are, proud to be a part of.

I have worked with Heidi over many years. She helped us build the ADMCF web presence and then websites for all partner orgs so there was consistency of feel. Exceptionally creative and hard-working, Heidi has been a critical part of building the ADMCF brand. She has met every deadline set, working quickly and to budget always. She learned the ngo and sustainability world very quickly, understanding the messaging and helping craft the narrative, whether web or report. Heidi and has been an exceptional and honestly irreplaceable partner.

It’s great experience working with the Cheddar Media team. The team is highly professional, responsive, and consistently delivers high-quality, visually compelling reports. They are experienced in sustainability-related topics and bring a strong ability to translate complex ideas into engaging narratives. Special shoutout to Heidi, whose leadership and vision set the tone for excellence, and to the amazing project management team – Linus and Omair – for their efficiency and collaborative approach. It’s been a real pleasure working with the Cheddar Media team!

Super friendly, very experienced staff, who will do everything to fulfill your expectations. They’re always ready to find solutions even if your requests are a little out of the usual! They can also provide recommendations if necessary and always seek to understand your needs as much as possible to ensure the best possible result. It has been a pleasure working with them!

Heidi and the CM team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and quality. Working with the CM team, Linus and Gideon (the best and energetic photographer), has been an outstanding experience. We highly recommend their services to organisations seeking reliable and top-tier creative solutions.

Working with Cheddar Media was a pleasure. Their team was efficient, detail-oriented, and highly accommodating, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the final product met our expectations. Communication was seamless throughout the process, with quick turnarounds. Special shoutout to Linus for his clarity, responsiveness, and professionalism. Not to mention his friendly demeanor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Big thank you to the Cheddar Media team!

Working with Cheddar Media has been nothing short of outstanding. Their creativity, professionalism, and holistic approach to design elevated every aspect of our brand- from identity and website to marketing collateral.
The team took the time to truly understand our vision, translating it into a cohesive, impactful brand that reflects our values. Their attention to detail, innovation, and focus on sustainability were remarkable. Seamless from start to finish, Cheddar Media is more than a service provider -they’re a trusted partner. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Working with Cheddar Media has been nothing short of exceptional. Their creativity, professionalism, and holistic approach to design ensure that our branding and website are exactly where they need to be. Cheddar Media has been our go-to web developer since 2018. We’ve worked with them on two branding updates and website re-designs – not easy tasks due to our site’s extensive resource library built over the years. And the best thing is that the back-end is bug free allowing us to run it on our own!

I worked with the Cheddar Media team on corporate reports in two different business capacities. During both experiences, the team displays strong project management, good communication and time management, and exceptional creativity. It’s been a pleasure to have the Cheddar Media team support my projects, and I highly recommend the team if you are looking for creative, reliable, and sustainable products.

I approached Cheddar Media for a report project that needed speed, creative visual layout and expertise. Not only did they deliver on this criteria, the manner in which the team supported me was truly humbling. Cheddar was transparent, flexible, honest and hardworking. They knew exactly what we needed and came up with the goods. My impression was that a partnership was made, not just a transaction. This being our first industry report, we were nervous of the workload and extremely tight turnaround time. Without people like Cheddar it would not have been a success.

I would like to express our appreciation for the prompt and professional services provided by Cheddar Media in resolving our online frontend and backend issues. On one occasion, Cheddar helped to provide comprehensive solutions to some deep-lying problem we have over years. Besides, Cheddar is passionate about working with socially purpose organization / NGOs especially on environmental and well-being causes, and they understand the limitation and concerns within this community.

A rare breed, that’s what Cheddar Media is! They know their game, provide spot-on options and recommendations, deliver and always go above and beyond for their customers, truly unusual in that industry. It is a diverse boutique team you can trust, not many around there, first time I come across one, in my experience. Website design + secure hosting, brand guidelines, after-sale service… you name it, Cheddar will do it! Search no more and give them a call because they’re fast at that too! ;)

If you’re looking for a deeply reliable, technically strong, and strategically minded branding, web design and development partner, Heidi and Cheddar Media are the gold standard. We have had the privilege of working with Heidi, and her team since 2016, and they have been nothing short of exceptional partners for our non profit for almost a decade now. Heidi and her team operate at lightning speed. What might take others days is often done by them in hours, without ever compromising on quality or precision.

Their efficiency, creativity, and technical expertise are truly what sets them apart. But most importantly they do their work with ease and show a lot of patience towards clients’ evolving needs. What also sets them apart, is their unwavering post-launch support. Unlike many agencies, they don’t disappear once the site is live. From emergency patches to long-term feature rollouts, they’ve stayed with us every step of the way, often responding faster than most web developers out there. Whether it’s late-night tweaks, urgent fixes, or platform updates years later, Heidi and Cheddar Media are always there. They’ve become an integral part of our digital presence and growth. Working with them has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. We cannot recommend them more highly.

The Cheddar Media design team are really excellent – they are exactly what you want and need as a client: responsive, creative, professional – and a true pleasure to deal with. We have used them for a few years now to design our annual report, interim report and CSR report and they always exceed my expectations- going above and beyond to ensure we are really delivering. They act as a seamless extension to our in-house team, and together, this year, we were really pleased again to receive awards for our shareholder reports. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

I can’t say enough that’s good about Cheddar Media. We have worked with their fabulous team over many years and they always deliver on time, within budget and produce a product that is creative – exactly what we need. Can’t recommend enough!

Heidi and her team have delivered on some tricky projects for me – and delivered very good results in the process. This required tenacity and cultural awareness, as on some of the technical details it was not clear on how to integrate our system to what was needed. That being said it all went well but did require a lot of effort on Heidi’s side. On the design side – all v intuitive and professional. To end this reference – Heidi and her team – are a pleasure to work with.

Have been working with the Cheddar team for a number of years! They produce high quality project outcomes and help to meet rushed deadlines on our end which we really appreciate. Highly recommend!

I’ve relied on Cheddar Media’s wonderful team for three websites and a book-sized report. And every time I’ve been blown away by their popping designs and rigorous craftsmanship that brings the sizzle to even the most dry and technical content. What truly sets them apart is their time and sensitivity – even though we worked remotely – they in Hong Kong and I’m in India-they managed to perfectly capture the very Indian motifs and nuances that I had in mind. I don’t know how they do it, but they always get the job done. Plus+ you wouldn’t find a more fun team to work with!

I worked with Cheddar Media and I’m so glad I did! They were professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did they deliver an amazing website, but they also provided great customer service. Their response time was fast and they made sure to keep me in the loop throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this website developer to anyone looking to create a website. They do great work and they truly care about their clients.

Cheddar media is a professional team on website development and branding design which helps to deliver high quality product in a limited time schedule. Efficient account servicing to support along the journey! We share same vision to do things in a good will, thank you CM team!

Trust is an important basis for cooperation. We started working with Cheddar Media 3 years ago and developed a trusting relationship. They always give professional and timely help when we need support. They are always so patient, and we always feel the team’s effort and dedication to get the job done every time. Many thanks!!

Cheddar has the most amazing team taking care of our project website for several years now. Our website has a huge database presented in both Chinese and English, which we know was definitely not easy to build or maintain, but Cheddar never let us down. They always respond to all our requests and needs immediately, and do their best to make sure we are taken care of. We are grateful for them!

Heidi and her team at Cheddar Media are great to work with. They provided excellent support from beginning to end of the process. In addition, they went the extra mile at every stage. My organization was very happy with the outcome of our project, and I would recommend them unreservedly.

Extremely happy with Cheddar Media and their team. They have always been friendly and helpful to work with. I felt they understood what I needed from beginning to end and felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Thanks for designing such a beautiful website for me guys! I would highly recommend Cheddar Media.

I have been working with Cheddar Media for about ten years on multiple websites for a variety of initiatives, and on design and layout of multiple reports. They are not only incredibly creative, but are extremely hardworking and will pull out all the stops out to make sure deadlines are met and that we are happy with their work. They are a great team to work with.
