A Midlands marketing agency

Our studio is at Dovecote Barn in Hanbury, near Burton upon Trent. Plenty of our clients are within the hour: Burton, Derby, Uttoxeter, and out across Staffordshire and the West Midlands.

Some aren't. We built the brand and website for a holiday let business in Cornwall, and we run email for a supplement brand that sells in several countries. We still get in the car when it matters, because we'd rather meet face to face.

A big Birmingham or Manchester agency will bring its senior people to the pitch. After that, you'll mostly deal with an account manager who passes notes to a team you never meet.

With us, the two people you meet are the two people who do the work. Gav has led design, print and marketing since 1998, with work for Nike, HERE Technologies and Shell. Monika has 30 years in retail and styling, 15 in digital brand and content and 18 in events and hospitality, and is an interior designer too. That's 55+ years between us, on your business directly.

We're close enough to sit round a table, and our prices are on the website, because hiding them is daft.

Brand first, then build. Naming, identity and positioning. Websites on Astro and Netlify, Shopify or HubSpot. Your own CRM, built round how you work, or HubSpot set up properly if that suits you better. Email in Mailchimp and Klaviyo. Content, social and video.

And SEO and AI search, so that when someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview who to use, your name comes up.

Our best work so far is for law firms, construction and specialist contractors, farm shops and food producers, holiday lets and hospitality, clubs and membership organisations, and e-commerce brands. Each sector has its own page, with the real work behind it.

Start with the page for your patch: Burton upon Trent, Derby, or Uttoxeter and East Staffordshire. Each one covers what we know about the place and who we've worked with there.
