Not your typical marketing agency

After years of working with marketing agencies we became disillusioned with the typical agency model. Our client-side experience means that we understand the challenges you face in planning, delivering and evaluating marketing activity. We know what it is like to manage senior stakeholders and bring the wider team along on the journey. Our understanding of your challenges is what makes us so easy to work with, and we deliver results that reflect well on you.

If you work with us you will have direct contact with the experts working on your project. Unlike marketing agencies we don’t sell you the experience of the senior team and then rely on a junior to deliver your project. You will get a named, hand-picked team of specialist consultants that are passionate about helping you get results.

We value client relationships

Relationship management is at the heart of our delivery model, ensuring that stakeholders have shared ownership of the project outcomes. It is vital that the strategy we develop for you is understood, and that the recommendations effectively delivered. We can coach your team or oversee delivery too, if that’s what you’d like us to do. We’ve many years of experience in delivering workshops, training and mentoring team members, so we’re happy to up-skill your team as part of the process.

No-nonsense approach to marketing advice

Perhaps it’s because we are Northerners, but we only make practical and actionable recommendations that can be easily implemented. We know how to be creative and find effective communication techniques for any budget. We’re adept at stakeholder management and won’t shy away from difficult conversations.

If you need a presentation to your senior team – no problem. If you want us to collate insight from your clients or membership – consider it done. If we see something that needs fixing – we will tell you what the problem is and how you could fix it.
