Design and branding solutions

Successful brands can change the way people view the world - influencing attitudes, raising awareness and changing behaviour. In a media-saturated environment, it’s absolutely essential to make the right impression.

Because we work exclusively with not for profit clients, we know how important it is to deliver cost-effective solutions without compromising on impact. We take the time to get to know our clients, and to understand the nature of their work. We’ll work with you to identify and engage with your audience, giving you the right tools to communicate with stakeholders and promote what you do.

We’ve developed a simple process to ensure that what your brand looks like on the outside is reflective of what it’s like on the inside. Talking to the people behind the brand – because we know they are the brand.

Copywriting

Good copy needs to get the right message across to the right audience, using clear and concise language to engage stakeholders and promote the project in question. Our dedicated copywriting team can provide or edit copy for a huge range of projects, from newsletters to fundraising campaigns.

Media strategy, planning and buying

Where you decide to put your advert is just as important as what it looks like. With literally thousands of newspapers, magazines, websites and ambient media to choose from, it can be difficult to know the best way to target your key audience. We’re experts in media placement strategy, using our experience and a range of innovative research tools to advise you on the best options for each campaign. We’ll also give you detailed audience profiles, circulation figures, and costing.

Because we’re a registered media buying agency, we can also negotiate discounted rates with a huge range of publications and websites. We then pass these discounts on to our clients, helping to make sure your advertising costs don’t break the bank.

Digital

Our creative team can help to make sure your organisation makes a splash online. We’ll create high-impact listings, banners, and buttons that reflect your brand and appeal to the right audience. We can organise video and audio content, and build dedicated microsites and websites to strengthen your online presence.

Recruitment advertising and response handling

Finding the right person for the job isn’t easy. The recruitment marketplace is crowded with employers looking for skilled, experienced and passionate people. What’s more, recruiting through the media is all too often a confusing, expensive and frustrating process. That’s where we come in.

We can help you make the most of your recruitment advertising. We know how to make a recruitment advert stand out from the crowd with attention grabbing, innovative design and concise but inspiring copy. We know that a successful recruitment advert isn’t just about the role in question – it’s about selling yourselves as employers.

We know that the advertising process doesn’t stop when your advert hits the news stands and jobs boards. That’s why we can also offer you the support of our dedicated response handling team, allowing you to effectively outsource the administration of recruiting a role - from fielding initial enquiries to arranging interviews. With competitive rates and a friendly, customer-focused service, we’re confident that our team can help to take the stress out of the recruitment process.

Employer branding

Our team specialises in creating fresh, engaging designs to promote your organisation as an employer, getting the right messages across to your key audience. We’ll deliver brand development workshops to identify your unique selling points and create high quality communications materials. Which will support the recruitment process and ensure what you look like on the outside reflects who you are on the inside.
