Business Description

Why are you here? Maybe you’re fed up with hearing the same tired old words being trotted out until they’ve lost all meaning… seeing imagery that could be anybody’s… being expected to buy into guruisms, trends and flavours of the month that go sour in no time… getting junior teams at senior prices… or being told what’s good for you by people who know nothing about you… stick around for a minute or two… Why we are here. We’re here because of you and people like you. As long as there’s someone out there who needs to communicate effectively... Who needs a campaign worth responding to... A brand that deserves loyalty... A design worth looking at... A message that needs to be heard... A fresh creative approach or strategy, there’s a reason for us to be. Who we are. The differences between us and a more traditionally structured agency have a fundamental effect on the range and calibre of the work we produce. Each of us has experience that crosses over several disciplines. We compress a great breadth of skills and depth of experience into a compact, versatile team. So we stay small enough to be agile, and think big enough to be a serious alternative. But it also means who you see, is who you get. What we do. In a nutshell, we conceive ideas and advise on strategies that help you achieve your goals and then see them through to a positive result. Whether it’s a new brand to be developed or an established one that has something new to say, or an internal communication that has a fundamental effect on your service to your own customers, we apply our knowledge and experience to deliver across the channels. If we have to be categorised, describe us as a brand and communications consultancy, an advertising agency or a design company, and we’ll be happy. But it’s more important to us that you know we think and care deeply about what we’re doing. Brand creation and development. Every member of our team has substantial experience in this area. In anything from naming and launching a new business or product, through to developing and executing new or revitalised brand strategies, you’ll find we have a refreshing depth of business understanding and a wealth of ideas. Specifically; forums and workshops, analysis, research and strategic presentations, naming, creative concepts, design and visualisation, guidelines & master artworks and project management. Advertising and campaigns. Advertising is competitive. Before it can work, it has to fight to break away from the crowd. From fully-fledged above the line advertising campaigns to business to business, tactical advertising or promotions, our team has worked successfully with major clients in all media. Specifically; planning and strategic recommendations, copywriting, creative and art direction, production management (creative services) Internal communications. Effective internal communications are essential to external performance. Whether it’s to facilitate change, align ways of thinking and working with the service or brand promise, or simply to make staff aware of their roles and responsibilities, by applying the quality criteria we would to a consumer campaign we break down the barriers tired corporate language and imagery creates. Specifically; key messages and copywriting, creative concepts, design and visualisation, presentations, printed items, emails, displays, posters and project management Design for print. While digital communications play a more important role than ever before, the value of portability, the feel and the lasting qualities of a good brochure, leave-behind or promotional materials simply cannot be ignored. Everything you do reflects on you and your brand. So we apply the same design criteria to even the most basic, fast turnaround items. Specifically; design and layout, copywriting, art direction and management of photography and illustration, typesetting and artwork, print specification and management and project management Digital media. Even the most enthusiastic protagonists for the growth of digital media have been surprised by the foothold this form of communication has in our everyday lives. Having creative ideas or understanding target audiences are crucial ingredients. We put ourselves in the user’s seat whenever we conceive and test an online communication or function. Specifically; forums and workshops, functional, technical and user specifications, information architecture, creative concepts, animations and video, build and test and project management Conferences and exhibitions. Whether it’s a public presence, sales generation, staging or an internal event, our team and associates have worked on everything from the initial theme and branding through to design, build, installation and removal. This includes high tech equipment, graphics, giveaway materials and even the clothing worn by those manning the stands or attending the conference. From minor room dressing to a major stage set, we have the resources ready to get you noticed. Specifically; creative concepts, design and specification, video and presentations, supplier and production management Who we do it for. A good idea is a good idea, no matter what sector it’s applied to. But there is value in sector experience. You’ll find as much variety in the sectors, businesses and organisations we’ve covered as the tasks we’ve undertaken for them. If you factor in our individual experience, from banks to builders or supermarkets to supercars, we’ve worked in almost any sector you can think of. Here a snapshot of just some of the clients we’ve worked with. We can’t show everything, as many of the projects we undertake are highly confidential. But these examples should give you an idea of the scope of our work and what we can do for you. If you have any questions or need more details, just ask.
