Everything is the same without an idea!
The fundamental principle of marketing is for your message to be seen, heard, loved and remembered. Campaigns, video content, social media, trade show exhibits and even your reception area - what differentiates your brand, inspires, engages, entertains, thrills and encourages participation more than anything else? The idea!
What exactly is creative?
Essentially creative is the ‘idea.’ The ‘idea’ is how we express your message visually through images and words. It’s how we are planning to position your business or product and how we will use the idea to connect with your audience. We separate creative from design to present the idea in its purest form and we do this with a simple and cost effective process called scamping.
The creative journey.
Our approach to solving your creative problem is simple. We take you on the creative journey from the very moment we take the brief. We understand the importance of getting it right from the get-go.
With this in mind we’ve designed a simple process to get the creative idea across the line before too much time is invested in developing it. Once we have the brief and the market analysis and/or research (if required) is completed, our creative team hand scamps options representing purely the creative idea - without the distraction of design and photography.
Once you have chosen your preferred idea we can progress to the next step - designing the components and extending the idea across the selected media channels. This approach ensures that we have your buy-in on the creative from the start. While this is a nod to the old-school approach, is an efficient and cost effective way of working, and one our clients particularly enjoy.

Meet your Creative Director, Jay Houghton
"The idea is the most powerful of all tools."
'I've had an idea!' The famous words that have been the beginning or end of many great things depending on how you look at it. Jay has had a few, and it goes without saying that his first idea to make a career pursuing ideas for others was probably his greatest. Behind every great idea there should be logic though. In this day and age, logic would suggest the idea should perform two functions: getting attention, recall and eliciting a response. That's three - but hey, who's counting?
