You’re a creative agency, a studio, perhaps a design and production company, or even a growing brand.
It could be that business is going well, you are growing and the work just keeps on coming – but maybe as a result of this growth, the way you have managed your business in the past needs rethinking. You are so busy working ‘in the business’ that you don’t have time to work ‘on the business’.
Or maybe business is challenging. For one reason or another, things aren’t going quite so well. Maybe you’re not delivering effectively as you used to, or you’re not making the margins you did before.
You might know the reason, or you might just realise there’s a problem but not have the resources to find out what it is, and how to put in place the measures required to improve it.
Whatever the situation, you feel that you need some additional support, and don’t necessarily want to go out and hire a permanent and costly Operations Director.
What can we do for you?
We approach each case as a partnership with extensive operational experience in the advertising, marketing, and events industries. We understand the often-conflicting demands of a business that needs to be creative and also profitable.
We are used to working with all strands of these businesses, from Client Service, through strategy, to creative and delivery. Our skills lie in pulling these various strands together to create a better-functioning operations strategy that helps your business become more productive.
We have unparalleled experience working with some of the biggest and best UK & global creative agencies. We are now focused on using our operational expertise to help agencies become more productive.
We work individually or together depending on your needs. And we also have an extensive contact book of other professionals who can help should there be a particularly specific requirement in, for instance, finance, HR or IT support.
How do we work?
Our first step is always a meet and greet with you to better understand your particular business, and to hear an overview of the challenges you are facing. We don’t charge for this session.
We then work with you on a consultancy basis to analyse the business challenges in greater depth. Only then will we deliver a proposal of clear recommendations to improve your operation.
We also prefer to work with you as part of your team to actually implement these changes and really deliver the difference.
We are not what you might consider traditional management consultants: we are hands-on people, well-used to working with project and creative teams. We are here to bring the value of our experience to help improve your business.
