The Marketing Agency
We won our first contract in 1992 to handle all the marketing functions of our new client. Since then we have stuck to our ethos of being for all intents and purposes one of the in-house team, spending lots of time at the organisation and really getting to know the people and the business. Business owners and management teams share their objectives to that together we can formulate appropriate marketing strategies and tactics. We get clearance on all operational deliverables and costs in advance. And we report back frequently on progress and evaluation. While responsibility for delivery lies with us, the control of all marketing programmes remains firmly with the client. It’s a very flexible arrangement that gives organisations access to the full range of marketing skills and the highest levels of experience from their agency team. Plus, it avoids headcount restrictions and all the HR-related business of employing someone suitable for every marketing task.

Marketing Consultancy
Our senior consultants resolve marketing-related issues and undertake change projects that relate to marketing and sales. Clients engage us for strategic projects and to carry out interim marketing management roles.

These are the sort of projects and roles that we get involved in:

• preparing, planning and implementing a change to the marketing and sales functions
• situation audits and recommendations
• marketing spend analysis and evaluation of ROI
• management of a discrete project without having to recruit permanent staff or overburden the existing marketing team
• bringing your own team up to speed
• trouble-shooting
• improving company-wide engagement and support for marketing
• cover for absence
• addition of specific marketing skills and experience when required for as long as required
• kick starting the marketing function - designing marketing communications projects that will work for your business and implementing procedures and policies so that senior management can monitor results and costs. We can then recruit or direct in-house staff to deliver to plan.

Marketing Deliverables
Brief us on a specific project or campaign. We pride ourselves on our straight-talking approach, always checking that the client’s brief is likely to meet the desired expectations and work in the best interests of the client’s business.

How does it work? Tell us what is required, we’ll provide a project costing, you sign it off and we do the work according to plan. No delay, no politics, just job well done.
