Advice is core to our service

Whilst many customers might think at the outset that all they want is someone who will just follow instructions, the reality is that if they are on the wrong path they’d rather know up-front than spend lots of money finding that out later on!

This is why our team has all been taught to (diplomatically) share the benefit of their expertise and experience with you before they start working on any tasks.

We believe that it is important that our work with you is a shared endeavour, and that we feel a sense of ownership over the results too. When we are involved in the development of the activity, we are more invested in seeing it work and we hope you’ll appreciate that care.

If you are Sussex or Brighton based, we can have these discussions face-to-face, but if you are elsewhere in the UK we can do this online instead.

Why you can be confident in our strategic recommendations

Marketing strategy is a business specialism, and all of our marketing team have the advantage of having been trained on a unique SME marketing model designed by our directors; The Common 10.

We have literally written the book on this subject (Growing by Design 2019) and have trained all team members in how to develop marketing plans based on the key points.

In the next section of this page, you’ll find a short video that goes into top-line detail on that model (do give it a watch if you’d like a slightly more detailed insight).
