Client Details

Creating Brand Experiences is no joke! To achieve excellence in experience it takes rigour, competence, and years of practice, combined with proprietary data, relevant insights, and the optimal use of technology solutions.

My client is a leading Consumer Engagement agency, established for 15 years in East London.

They exist in the Venn between Brand Experience and Field Marketing, so they are adept at the softer arts of brand building, but also have a strong commercial focus, meaning every activity needs to create measurable business impact for their clients.

Their work is full service: strategy, planning, execution and measurement, and they have their own technology that facilitates and measures the work that they do.

My client has handled some of the largest consumer engagement campaigns in the UK over the years, and they are not just a supplier to their clients - they become part of their team; effectively and efficiently delivering against their objectives.
