We brand
What’s your big idea? What are you famous for? Every business is
different, but how often do we stop to think about what it is precisely
that sets us apart from competing firms?
Often we’re too close to the trees ourselves to be objective. But unless
we establish what that thing is, the unique DNA of our business, we
can’t create the foundation upon which to build a great brand.
This is where we come in to help you: 1. Discover who you really are;
2. Define what values and priorities are; and 3. Decide on what big
idea or point of difference is.

something if you promote it strategically and effectively. We have a full
service delivery capability, and will help you research, choose, prepare

About us
We set up in 1998 riding on the internet wave. Owner directors
Nigel Penn-Simkins and Arthur op den Brouw forged the spirit of
commercial sense and creative flair that is our culture today. We have
extensive skills in design and consultancy for print and new media.
Our team of nine long-serving staff are based in stand-alone high
profile premises in central Reading. These premises offer excellent
access, IT facilities and scope to grow our business rapidly over the
next three to five years. We have excellent relations and an extensive
network of partners and specialist resources.

The internet
Our initial success was powered by our digital media competency
when we were amongst the earliest service providers of internet
marketing and creative solutions.
And although we’re now media neutral, the internet still holds a
special place in our hearts. We’ve developed considerable experience
and expertise that now covers a wide spectrum of the vast sea that
internet consultancy now must navigate.
Speak to us about your specific problem. Perhaps we’ve already been
there, and can help you.
