Brand Essence Review

This is the best place to start on any new project. It's an objective analysis of a company's marketing activities & involves an in-depth brainstorming session, to provide an open forum for all involved to describe the business in their own words, voice their opinions & offer suggestions on future strategy.
spacer

Brand Strategy & Design

We regularly advise start-up companies on how to build a brand around their business. We also work with existing companies who want to re-position their business and re-design their logo.
spacer

Press Ads

From initial concept to final completion, we write and design many ads for local and national press. We work closely with the client to ensure a strong message and clean finish.
spacer

Direct Mail

This is one of our first loves and key disciplines. Highly targeted and fully accountable, it gets your message straight to the people. From list rental or database sourcing to packaging and postage, we can take care of everything.
spacer

Brochure Design

Be it a straightforward A4 brochure or more complex booklet or manual, this is very much our stock and trade. We can take what you have and put it together or start from scratch, write the text and source the images.
spacer

Website Design

If you're in business, you need a website; it’s as simple as that. We can design and develop the right one for you, be it a simple online brochure or one with full ecommerce functionality. We can also help you with domain name registration and search engine marketing.
spacer

Copywriting

If you're lost for words, we can help you find them. We provide a full copywriting, content editing and proof reading service. By putting into words what you want to say, we make sure your audience gets the full message, loud and clear.
spacer

Marketing Strategy

This is where we come into our own. We sit down with you and analyse your business inside out. By establishing your product and customer base, we can advise you on how best to spend your marketing and media budget.
spacer

Media Liason

As an advertising agency, we're well used to dealing with local and national media. We know them and they know us. We can make life easier for you by acting as a go-between, getting you better deals and saving you time.
spacer

Public Relations (PR)

Building a relationship with the media can take time and effort. Not everyone knows where to turn and how to go about it. Over the years, we’ve built a network of contacts to open doors and get our clients favourable exposure.
spacer

Point of Sale

A key promotional tool for any retail operator, point of sale material is essential in engaging the customer and prompting a purchase. We can organise everything from design and print to store layout and category management.
spacer

Print Management

There’s more to a brochure, poster or leaflet than design. A job isn’t finished until it’s printed. This can be a tricky area and one that demands attention to detail. We can manage the entire process on your behalf ensuring delivery on time and within budget.
spacer

Signage

Whether it’s indoor or outdoor, large format or small, we can coordinate all your signage needs. We do a full store or premises audit and advise on design and production to ensure consistency of brand and quality.
spacer

Mentoring

Running a business can be very lonely. You're the decision maker, the problem solver, the business strategist, everything. It doesn't have to be like that. Think of a mentor as a wingman; someone to listen and advise, someone with experience and expertise.
spacer

Training

Would you travel in a plane with an untrained pilot or undergo an operation with an untrained surgeon? Of course you wouldn't. So why then do so many owner managers risk their business success with untrained staff? Training is essential. We provide a broad range of practical training programmes in the areas of sales, marketing and communications.
spacer

Mystery Shopping

We’ve all experienced poor customer service from time to time. And it doesn't make us feel good about the company. Like it or not, your customers may be having a similar experience. And how would you know? You could be losing customers by the day. That’s where mystery shopping can help. It allows you to see your business from a customer perspective.
spacer

Radio Ads

Depending on the product and audience, radio advertising can be extremely effective. We often get quotes, write scripts and deal directly with radio stations around the country on booking and production issues.
spacer

TV Ads

No job is too big or too small. Budget and time permitting, we can put together a TV campaign that promotes your product or service to a wide consumer audience. The options are limitless.
