How we work
Different ways you can work with us
We provide our clients with ‘bite size chunks’ of senior marketing and PR resource. We’re there when you need us, but we’re not an ongoing cost when you don’t.
A partnership built around your business
Once we’ve met to understand the needs of your business, we’ll work together to agree the most effective and efficient way of working with you, so you meet your objectives and get the most out of the partnership.
Every client relationship is different, shaped by the requirements of your business. These are the ways we typically work.
Ways we work with clients
Choose one, or combine them. We’ll agree what suits you best.
01
Hourly rate
An agreed hourly rate, used as and when you need it. Ideal if you don’t want set commitments and want the ultimate in flexibility. There’s no minimum, and any hours worked are outlined in detail.
02
Weekly or monthly input
An agreed level of weekly or monthly input, charged at the hourly rate. Some clients like this because it helps with budgeting.
03
Monthly retainer
A monthly retainer for an agreed level of service. Attractive if you want the certainty of a fixed fee.
04
Project by project
You tell us what you want us to do or achieve, and we’ll give you a quotation for it.
05
Non-Executive Directorships
Could your business benefit from a new Non-Executive Director? We bring not just marketing input but wider business acumen.
06
White label service
We work with a number of businesses that offer our services under their own brand, giving them a wider, more comprehensive range of services.
07
Training
‘One off’ or ongoing training to build the skills in your business. Our standard courses include Introduction to Marketing, Marketing Planning, How to Get the Most Out of Your Agency and Embracing Social Media, and we’re happy to create courses to meet your needs. We also work closely with Gloucestershire Enterprise, who run an excellent range of courses.
08
Mentoring, support and advice
Usually one to one, and a very popular service: you get exactly the help you’re looking for, plus an external perspective.
No tie-in contracts
Unlike many other consultancies, we don’t tie you into a contract. You can flex the amount of support you need to match your business. We firmly believe that if you don’t need our services at any particular time, you shouldn’t still have to pay for them.
