“Annette has worked with our company for nearly eighteen months and in that time, she has become one of the team and provided us with invaluable vision and expertise which have transformed our marketing strategy and pushed the company to the next level. We couldn’t have done it without her!”
“This is quite wonderful. Thank you. It is such a joy to be working with someone who gets who we are and what we do…”
MD, Property Services Company
“Annette is different from other consultants. She doesn’t just tell us what to do and leave us to it – she works with us to help us achieve it, becoming part of our team. She’s helped develop our corporate messages and branding; supported new product launches; extended our communications and enabled us to reach a wider audience – all of which have played a key part in the company’s development.”
“We’d commissioned a new website, but progress was slow, and we were unhappy with the content the web company had provided. When Annette came on board she rewrote the copy for us, and liaised with the web company, pushing the entire project through to completion. The site really reflects our company and values, and we have had several compliments about it.”
We believe marketing is more than just communications. At its heart, marketing is about focusing a business to understand and win customers. We believe marketing is a philosophy, and a business process. That’s always where we start.
We believe that marketing is a responsibility. People’s choices, lifestyles and livelihoods can depend on how a company markets itself – so we see it as our responsibility to do our job well and professionally.
Marketing can sometimes have a bad name, because of the times when some companies have done dubious and manipulative things to try and win business. We won’t get involved in anything like that, because we don’t believe it’s right, or beneficial.
We believe each client deserves our loyalty, exclusively and completely. That means that where we have a retained relationship with a client, we don’t work with any other company in the same industry where there might be a conflict of interest.
We believe that marketing can be used for good, and to communicate things that help improve people’s lives and businesses, and that’s the kind of marketing we want to do. We only want to work with companies which feel the same way.
We believe in working hard and getting things done, and doing what we say we will, on time.
We’re not afraid of saying things that are unpopular, because we believe our clients deserve our honest, considered professional opinion, even if it’s not what they want to hear. (We are tactful though!)
Making a difference
We believe businesses should do good, so we commit to giving some of our profits to help feed, home and educate people who are struggling. We’ve been pleased to support:
We believe in doing our part to uphold good marketing standards and best practice, and make a positive impact on the marketing and business world. We actively participate in the Chartered Institute of Marketing to help promote marketing as a professional business discipline.
