Design and Marketing Services
Marketing and creative thinking
It's not always about marketing plans and quantitive research (although we're adept at both when the project requires it), sometimes you just need to develop a plan or to discuss a concept you want to explore.
We're your independent eyes and ears - we'll give you an outside perspective, help you evaluate opportunities or develop new ideas. Whatever your requirement we'll help get things on the right track.
Identity/brand development
Whether you require a simple logo refresh or a global identity review our expertise means we'll deliver every step of the way.
Why? Because we do this sort of thing a lot - we might define a strategy, or create a flexible and clearly defined identity. Sometimes we'll just tweak a colour or twiddle a font. But, one thing you can be assured of - we create memorable brands that revitalise, change stakeholder perception and help generate growth.
Corporate and sales literature
Now you're talking! This is our bread and butter.
Communication and sales often rely on clear and concise literature. It can be a vital tool in differentiating your company, product or service from the competition. Thirty years experience means our work extends your brand and conveys your message perfectly.
Oh, and, rest assured it'll look extremely good, everytime!
Direct mail
It's not just a sales letter sent out to a mailing list! Our creative mailings help break down doors, raise brand profiles and deliver appropriate messages to your next customer.
We will develop a strategy, design and implement it, oversee delivery and collection of data, and when the need arises we'll even undertake follow up calls.
Exhibition and graphics
We offer exhibition design solutions to meet your specific needs, from the smallest pop-up display, to the largest custom built stand.
We'll design, organise and site manage, install, dismantle and transport - to budget, on time and all with the minimum of fuss. Best of all you have one point of contact - we handle everything from start to finish.
Print management
Matt, art, 4 colour, blankets, picking, 2 back 4, dot gain, work 'n turn...it goes on and on - no wonder many clients find it a minefield. We have developed litho and digital print rosters for PLCs, and have a broad knowledge of most printing techniques. We'll ensure you get value for money and consistently high quality printed material, everytime.

Digital and Web Services
Web build
Build is surely a given? We wouldn't be in business if we couldn't build sites that deliver. We give careful consideration to web standards, SEO and efficient build. Rest assured, you're in experienced hands.
Content Management Systems
If you're not updating your web site yourself, you need a Content Management System (CMS).
Don't be daunted! Edition (our CMS) is very intuitive, really easy to learn for everyone.
We don't use bells and whistles to impress, we're here to make your life simpler.
Search Engine Optimisation
We'll get right to the point, SEO is NOT a silver bullet.
There is no free ride.
Getting to No.1 on Google is great, it is a position we can help you to earn. So ask us about SEO.
Ecommerce
We specialise in building web sites that sell online. Regular online shops, service ordering pages, booking systems and ticket sales are our staple diet.
We go the extra mile to give you rapid order processing, automated payments, client account admin and so on to reduce your operating costs, and increase your profitability.
We don't stop there either ... check out back office integration!
Back office integration
Efficiency is everything, back-office integration, Sage/accounts integration ... if we're not making your business leaner and making you more money, we're not doing our jobs.
We integrate with, and even provide Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to manage so much more in your business than just your web site.
Our systems help profitability, operating efficiency, even customer retention.

Digital Strategy & PR
Digital Strategy
Just having a presence across the digital landscape is not enough anymore and will lead to minimal return on your time invested. In short, we'll plan, target and deliver a return on your investment that makes a difference.
Online PR
Since the advent of social media, brands and organisations have lost some control of their marketing messages. Now anyone can say whatever they want, good or bad, and reach a potentially huge audience. We'll help manage, monitor and control how you are perceived across the online world.
Research & Analytics
We ensure detailed and regular review of your digital footprint is undertaken and recommendations made.
No stone is left unturned in ensuring we identify your audience, know where they are and engage them appropriately and fully.
Social Media Integration
Let's cut to the chase. There is no such thing as a social media guru or expert and anyone telling you that you have to be on twitter or Facebook etc is plain wrong.
We'll simply advise on all aspects of the marketing tools; those that fit the job of attracting more attention on you. It's not one or the other - it's online working in tandem with offline.
Competitor Activity
Engagement and collaboration with new customers or clients are where a digital strategy brings its ultimate returns but it's often the case that simply by using the online environment effectively to listen and watch what direct competitors are doing will lead to priceless insights.
