We don’t waste time. Our laser-sharp approach aligns strategy with your business goals to interrogate your aims, purpose and competitor landscape, to get ready for growth.
You can expect us to bring focus, insight and fresh perspective to get you thinking clearly and set your direction. Then spark ideas that can be translated into action, giving your brand clarity and purpose in its marketplace.
When you’re so close to your business, it’s sometimes hard to see where to go next. Our workshop is a great way to take stock.
Two sessions together allow us to review, reflect and establish how to get your branding strategy right, so that it can work hard for you, and deliver bottom-line results.
We then distill it on a page for you, giving you ownership of a clearly articulated vision of the brand, and a next-steps plan to realise it, and get your business growing.
As Brand Marketers we have managed annual budgets from £50k to £110M, we know how to set and get the best value out of a team across all areas of marketing and communications.
We can flex our resources to put in place a highly-skilled team from our select associate network, or we can co-create and collaborate with your in-house team and agencies.
Either way, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves, motivate your team, and spark your plan into action in a powerful mix that gives you both brilliant creative output and exceptional consultative brand strategy direction and input.
Staying on-the-ground, a part of your team, we are available, involved and always informed. We keep things focussed, organised, and on track.
Our service gives you access to the same level of dynamic thinking and creativity that you would expect from leading international agencies, whilst keeping closer to you to be able to deliver outstanding results.
Businesses often rely on a Founder or small core team to be the brand. But, with growth, this becomes less tenable, and you’ll need your brand to take on that role. Brand strategy is the platform that enables everyone in the business to consistently communicate what you stand for and what stands you out.
Work out your difference. You’ve probably got some thoughts already, but it pays to be forensic and examine where you’re at, how you got there and where you’re going. Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses and open-minded about your competition. Common themes will emerge that clarify what ‘only you can say’.
Leadership. Key team. Customers. Stakeholders. Engaging your team brings them on the journey. They’ll have much to contribute and will be vital in delivering the brand moving forward. Customer and external stakeholder views give insight and validation of the end benefit and help to orientate the brand accurately externally.
It depends on your brief but the base is £6k for smaller projects, increasing to £30k and over for larger projects. All are led by either Tasha or Graham, who each bring 30+ years of expertise alongside a core team of proven Associates selected to suit your needs. It’s a powerful shortcut to big brand thinking – as well as really enjoyable.
Don’t file it; filter it into everything you do. We’ll provide you with a strategic deck that puts the learnings and logic into one place so that you can position and go to market with the messages you need to reinforce and keep delivering your brand through your marketing, service and output. Then, if you need, we can help you make a kick start.
“The Flintlock team created a compelling proposition and a comprehensive marketing plan that helped us integrate our two fostering businesses. They injected real energy and pace into the Cambian Group, built commercial plans that impacted the broader business and helped develop our marketing capability. A joy to work with such an experienced team.”
“I would describe the Flintlock experience as:
Insightful – they fully embraced customer listening and did so without prejudice to either their opening hypotheses or mine.
Collaborative – I don’t think they answered the challenge alone, and nor did I – a very effective blend of active listening on both sides and willingness to go into battle for the best interests of the customer
Challenging – both being open to challenge and not being afraid to question accepted wisdom within our businesd
Commercial – they were happy to work within the financial objectives of our business and understood the levers we needed to pull to be profitable
In all, highly productive and great fun. Happy to recommend the team to the next business owner seeking radical reinvention of their category. ”
“Flintlock brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our business, supporting us with the revitalisation of our brand and breathing life back into our Customer team. Through an open and collaborative approach we developed a strong customer proposition, which defines our strategic direction for the future. They have been a pleasure to work with, bringing great energy and quickly becoming indispensable/crucial members of the team.”
“There’s so much we love about it – the focus on “Less”, the quirkiness, the “stretchability”, the distinctiveness, the charm…..”
“It was such a pleasure working with Flintlock on all things Cove UK – they combine hard work, insight, and creativity with a fantastic sense of fun”
“ötzibrew engaged Flintlock to design a sales deck to give the green light to our sales team to contact muliple large-scale retailers and wholesalers alike. Their creative, clever-yet-clear ideas and willingness to listen all helped articulate our brand in a concise and distinct way, helping to bring out our USPs and story in a high-quality document. Flintlock was very professional throughout and an absolute pleasure to work with, I have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“When I do my daily walk in our Park, I think of Flintlock everyday with a very BIG SMILE. Grateful for the job they have done! Bobbejaanland is back”
“The project was very collaborative, and it was fascinating for me personally, to see the workings of this particular creative process.”
