esign is a vital form of creative communication and an important tool for business. We design logos, websites, products, T-shirts, mailers, calendars, even Christmas cards. Actually, that’s our favourite.

Digital

D
igital is just another way of talking with consumers. Its importance is growing at an extraordinary rate, but it has pros and cons like every other medium. We actively work across all channels with no bending to either tradition or fashion: we only care what works. We believe it makes no more sense to have a separate digital agency than a separate radio agency. We run Social Media sites, produce digital campaigns and design websites as required. And spend far too much time on Facebook.

Media

W
e strongly believe it is to the client’s benefit to have Media and Creative working in the same building. If nothing else it saves on phone calls. Our Media guys (who are mainly girls) work really closely with the rest of the agency so everyone always knows what is going on. Well, nearly always. Naturally we work with outside media companies as well, but when we do, we just wish we could see more of them.

Creative

admin — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:45:35 +0000

T
he Creative Department is the black hole of every agency. It may not be an Art, but it’s definitely not a Science. All we ask of our creatives is that they be capable of working across every media, that they produce work which works, and that they keep psychotic tendencies under control during office hours. It seems to work and the police are hardly ever called these days.

Strategy & Planning

T
hinking has become sadly underrated in business. As much as we’d like to believe that great work comes out of pure inspiration, we generally find that a large quantity of brain perspiration needs to be sweated first. Every good creative appreciates a clear road forward. Even if they seem to spend a lot of time wandering in the bushes to get there.

Research

admin — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:41:00 +0000

U
nfortunately research has yet to reach the point where it can guarantee how well a campaign will work. What it’s really good at, however, is giving great insights into the way consumers perceive a category or product. Where appropriate we work with the major independent research companies and where not have been known to put our own staff out on the street. Some of them even come back.
