2. A NICE BREATH OF FRESH AIR
The Gravitas approach is refreshingly simple.
Experienced creatives, account people and digital experts,
but not at West End prices.
Large agency experience - but no eye watering large agency
bills.
Attention to detail. We probably spend more time than we
should making sure everything works properly. And being a
tad old school, we can all spell.
Plain speaking, clear thinking and a down to earth
methodology.
And jolly nice people to work with.
3. We are prepared to put our money where our mouths are.
We show how much we charge and we’re transparent too.
The examples later on all show associated budgets.
You want to get in touch and hear more?
Contact george@gravitaslondon.com or call 020 8783 9660.
4. SO WHO DO WE WORK WITH?
International brands to niche markets.
Established companies that want a rethink on their
marketing.
Start ups that want help from the word go (or even before
they press the start button).
Clients a mixture of local companies, Europe and USA.
5. HOW DO WE GO ABOUT IT?
We can build a brand right from the start (including
naming and logo design) and help set the style for all
communications.
Or we can work within existing style guidelines.
Whichever way you want to play it, we can fit in seamlessly.
Did we say you’ll find us nice to work with?
Some of our clients have been with us for years, so that must
mean something.
