what we do
Think/do.
That’s what we do: Cogitate / Activate; Look / Leap.
In that order.

Especially since, many moons ago, my cousin Harry hopped over a small wall to discover a twenty foot drop on the other side.
And a greenhouse.
But our approach to consideration / implementation isn’t just careful.
We adopt what big-wigs in our business call a ‘media neutral’ stance.
This seemed dull and designed to perplex – so we describe our thinking as ‘nonline’.
Bascially, we don’t care whether the campaign is above-the-line, below-the- line or online. We care about what works for you, the client.

But, of course, outcomes are what matter.
Though awards, of which we have many, are nice too.
The Scottish office is run by Helen Hourston and Pete Martin who have worked together for over 20 years. Wow.
Their motto is “maximising opportunities and solving problems for clients through effective communications”.
“Per ardua ad astra”, as the Romans put it, seems more likely to catch on.
