Why we are special?

We believe there is a better way to market your business.

It is all about humanising service.

The traditional approach by many marketing agencies and consultants is to create or dare I say push, self orientated content. This totally goes against our philosophy of being customer centric.Today, where buyers prefer a web-based self-selection, educational and peer-communication approach, that traditional strategy doesn’t work. Why? Because buyers want to control how they consume information, getting answers from sources they trust. Today’s buyer requires a new marketing approach that uses different tools.
This customer centric approach to marketing is often just lip- service, but I put in place a process to create a customer centric approach that everyone in the organisation can embrace. If all things are equal between you and your competitor what makes you the better alternative? I believe it is the way you made them feel. More and more customers are looking for the why and the how of your service. This is where I focus my strategic approach so you can create a brand that your customers and employees will love.

Our vision is to get businesses back to feeling, seeing and listening by showing empathy to your customers and employees. We believe that it is through empathy and insight we create better relationships based on trust and value.

There is nothing more important than the way we feel. Understanding a person’s point of view, their feelings is an incredibly valuable asset. I use this to create meaningful marketing. Marketing that creates a relationship between a customer, employee and company that is more than the service itself. It is based on values and a strategic design service to make each party feel heard appreciated and valued.

1. There needs to be a good business proposition for both of us. It has to be a win-win. A win-win for us is when we can provide the service you need and want and do it with your enthusiasm, support and prompt payment. A win for you should be having a flexible expert marketing resource that continually improves your business growth and does so at an affordable cost.
2. Our business model is based on choosing to work with a select number of clients where we provide a marketing department service, usually over an extended period of time or until such time when we can train up an alternative resource.
3. We choose only to work with the owner or CEO of the business. We do this for two reasons. 1. The decisions about marketing are an integral part of the business plan and so we need these decisions to be made by management. 2.The brand and values that the business hold often are embedded in the owner’s vision and personality.

Our clients come from many different industries including, IT, construction, HR and consulting and are all service based businesses.
