An extension of your marketing team.
As your communications and design agency we might think on your behalf, together with you or alongside you. But however we do it, we’ll bring you original ideas, campaigns and approaches that will put you squarely in front of your target audiences, grow your revenue, help you enter new markets and learn more about your customers.
Online and offline.
We are as familiar with online and digital communications as we are with offline, print and post. So if you want customers to beat a path to your virtual portal, high street shop-front or simple revolving office door, you can rely on us to show them the way.
If you’ve stopped to read this page, the chances are quite high that you work in the health or social care sectors.
Well, so do we.
Apart from the ability to spell almost all known medical terms without using a reference book, 17 years working in healthcare marketing has given us unsurpassable knowledge and experience.
It’s the kind of experience we really need to have if a healthcare client wants us to develop a brand for them, draft their patient communications strategy, research new markets for entry or come up with original ideas on how to engage NHS commissioners.

Understanding the differences and similarities between the public and private acute care services is vital for effective private hospital communications. We have learnt what motivates patients to use health insurance, self-pay or stick with the NHS. We know what tools to use to raise awareness, to elicit media interest and ensure a story contains the right messages. We appreciate the complex and crucial relationships between every hospital and its consultants, GP referrers and NHS commissioners.
If your business is in oil and gas, offshore or marine, we have a specialist team who provide creative services and public relations to this sector.
We work with some of the biggest organisations, and some of the smaller ones, from each and every part of the supply chain. One or two of our largest prefer to remain anonymous, but others are a little more extrovert - Ineos, Schlumberger, Fischer, MarineGuard and Trafigura to name a few.
Clients rely on our understanding of the industry to bring them the highest quality in branding, graphic design, digital campaigns and public relations.

That's why organisations with the scale and complexity of Trafigura trust us to handle all their web requirements.
