Media's (secret) success story
We are a Direct Response Media Agency who are thriving in a tough marketplace.
We deliver results for our clients because we put our senior talent on the front line of the trading floor and client meets (even the MD still has a client patch, and negotiates most of his deals!) Our secret is to immerse ourselves within the channels we buy.
It’s fair to say we are seizing the moment - 2009 turnover is forecast 55% Up (£23M vs. £15M). Gross profit is forecast 36% Up. Client base is over 70 and includes the blue chip to barrow boy (Government to mail order)
After nailing the insert channel (through our leading brand - THE INSERT HOUSE, est. 2003) we have added PRESS, DIGITAL and DATA/LISTS to our media agency business.
Our specialist model is working, so that’s why we call the Agency group… The Specialist Works.com
Clients that we work with (across different channels) include…
COI, Cancer Research UK, Toyshop, NHS, Family Investments, Trueprint, BMW, Easylife, Great British Mobility Group, Party gaming, Scotts Of Stow, Page & Moy, Atlas Editions, Age Concern, National Friendly, Leger Holidays, Austrian Tourist Board and so on…
