| our skills We are a team of individuals with backgrounds covering a wide range of creative and marketing disciplines. We are a lean team, but with massive experience. Keeping the team lean keeps overheads down – this is a saving we can pass on to you, our customer. If we need to collaborate we do – and we do it well, handpicking freelance support from a network of talented creatives, programmers and marketeers. We work to a high standard and involve the client at every step of the process. We communicate well, we plan well and we always deliver exceptional work. the process To understand what you need we have to get right under the skin of your business, find out about you, your product service, your clients, your ethos. Then we need to identify your business problem - it's a simple process but is often approached the wrong way around. You may think you want a website – but when you look at what you hope to achieve you may actually need advertising – simple!
the brief We develop creative briefs for all of our projects. This helps our creative minds to see the big picture and ensure that whatever is produced is going to achieve your goals. Sometimes clients will produce the brief for us – sometimes we will put a brief together based on our findings through getting to know your business. We don't mind which way it works but the brief is often the key to a great design and a great end product. communication We are good communicators – essential in our line of work don't you think? We work with each of our clients in a different way. We can be on the end of the phone, you can Skype us, email us or you can just get together for a good old fashioned chit chat – either at your offices or ours. We put things in writing, we make notes, we listen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - our services planning and consultancy Developing a marketing strategy and subsequent plan when you've never done one before, or if you don't have in-house capabilities, is daunting stuff. We can work with you at the planning stage and provide consultancy support for all of your marketing needs. We're good, honest people, you won't find any jargon here. You know what you want your business to achieve and what you're trying to tell all of your potential customers - we can help you decide how you're going to actually go out there and communicate effectively with them. branding and logos - click here to view samples Your customers, and indeed potential customers will already have a brand image in mind when they think of you or your products, forged by their experience of the brand. This could be through using your service and buying your products, hearing about your business through the media, online or via word of mouth. The identity and messages you are already trying to send out are reinforced by the service name and visual signs such as logo, colours and key messages. We can help you determine what you want your brand identity to be and then we can design logos and we can recommend colours, type faces and styles. We can produce guidelines on how your brand mark/logo should be used and we can apply this to core print items such as your business stationery or your vehicle livery. print and packaging - click here to view samples There's nothing like giving your customer something to have and to hold. Seeing your brand in print is something that is happening less and less as the digital age is upon us. However, you have to admit, as a consumer it is nice to have something physical to look at too. We are experts at putting pen to paper – mouse to screen. We can produce brochures, leaflets, mailers, letterhead, business cards, boxes, bags, wrappers, catalogues, vehicles, magazines, newsletters, calendars, pens, mugs, maps and posters. In fact – if it is designed to be printed – we can do it. websites and emails - click here to view samples There are around 18 million people in the UK accessing the internet every day. Only a third of the population are not yet online and that number is shrinking every day. Yet there are businesses who still have no web presence. These days people are turning away from traditional methods of finding new suppliers - such as directories - and are moving to the internet to source their needs, products and services. We can produce everything from a simple one or two page information site to an e-commerce shop or theatre booking system. We never compromise creativity or functionality, feeling it's important the two things work together. We work in HTML, PHP, Wordpress, Flash, Java, etc and our sites can be W3C compliant if that's what you want. We can produce content managed sites too so you can take the reins and keep your own site up to date. We're also great at producing creative and eye catching e-mails. From e-flyers to newsletters we can design, produce and even mass e-mail for you but make the email appear as though it's coming from your email address. Not only that – we can produce digital adverts, website banner advertising and help you set up your social media – Facebook, Twitter, etc. As far as Search Engine Optimisation goes – we can get your ranking right. advertising - click here to view samples Ok, so your branding is sorted, your website finished and you've got your lovely brochure. What now? Well, if we were in your shoes we'd be shouting from the roof tops! We can help there too! Whether it's press, radio, TV, online, outdoor or on the back of a bus we can create clever, eye catching advertising to get you really noticed. exhibitions and promotions - click here to view samples We consider everything about your exhibition. Whether it is indoors or outdoors - you will be building it yourself or have it built by us we cover everything from lighting, making sure your product is perfectly displayed, seating and storage and most importantly - we make sure it is designed to attract your target audience. Or it may be that all you need is a portable stand, or maybe a TV unit - either way we have bags of exhibition experience and can find a solution tailor made for what you need - at home or abroad. Oh, don't forget your promotional items. We all love a freebie – pens, mugs, calendars... or maybe corporate clothing or something more unusual... |
