Agency
Hello there. Nice to meet you…
We are octopus

need to ask
Like, what are your competitors planning to do
next and where can you win more business?
Also, what should your next move be and how do
you minimise risk?

4. Every business has lots of
questions
If you’re looking to grow, yours will be the
same. octopus has unrivalled experience in
finding the answers to all these questions,
and to any other question your business
needs to ask.

5. Questions usually about…
Competitors
Markets
People
Products
Investments

6. Our experience is unique
Our military intelligence background and MBA-level
experience gives us the discipline, processes and
tenacity to get the job done and leave no rock
unturned. It’s a unique approach that has led our
clients to see us as their secret weapon.

7. We are ready to help you
With experience of working globally in legal,
accountancy, construction, defence, pharma, oil &
gas, tech, manufacturing, finance, real estate,
venture capital, retail, building materials, power
generation, media, telecoms and many more, we
love to see our clients succeed and gain the
competitive advantage they’re looking for.

8. So our clients ask
themselves, what
do they really
need to know?
But how?

9. We go further to speak to the right people, in
the right way and then look for patterns.
We are brilliant at asking the right questions at
the right time and seeing themes reveal
themselves.
Intelligence from the horse’s mouth

10. We reach around the world
We travel the world to find what we are looking
for.
We don’t pretend we run around like James
Bond, but we do whatever it takes to get the job
done and speak to the right people.

11. A background in military intelligence, backed by
MBA-level experience gives us a unique edge when
pursuing the answers to your questions.
Tenacity balanced with discipline opens up a whole
world of information inaccessible to others.
A tenacious approach

12. Straight talking feedback
Not for us some ten-step model with a clever
name. And no pseudo-academic description
packed with business school speak.
We produce useable Competitive Intelligence in
a plain English report, presentation or monthly
bulletin.

13. No out of the box thinking here (all this means is
you are still trapped inside).
We help you define the questions you need to
ask to get the answers you need to know. It’s a
simple but highly effective process.
A strictly commercial focus

14. A personal service for our
clients
We don’t pull reports off shelves. It may be
easier, but we’d be just like the rest.
We don’t clock watch, because you pay for the
answers not time it takes for us to get them.

15. You get the idea
We answer the
questions you
need to know
without the fluff.

16. Get the better of your competitors
You can’t steal a lead on your competition if you
don’t know where or who they are.
Nor can you meet market needs if you have no
knowledge of what these are.

17. In our experience, too many companies
find it too easy to dismiss competitors as
irrelevant. Others do not know their
market well enough and are missing out
on business.
Worryingly, many massive companies
and their competitors are in danger of
falling foul of the Global Anti Slavery

18. It’s a dangerous game to play.
And it’s why our clients use our range of services and
training to give them the intelligence they need to
act decisively, armed with meaningful real-world
knowledge.

19. We are the official
intelligence partner
of tiscreport.org the world’s
largest anti-slavery registry.

21. We can do the same for your
clients too.
White label or direct.

22. So how do we
do it?

23. A Competitive Intelligence
project usually starts by drilling
down to find out what you really
need to know by agreeing on a
set of questions.
How to begin?

24. The best questions give you answers you can
act on. Then we find the information on-line or
by talking to people. www.octopusintelligence.co.uk

25. We then analyse the information to
make useable Intelligence in a report,
presentation or regular bulletins.

26. The best
questions give
you answers
you can
act on.

great honour to work with you all.
