“Cove UK continues to enjoy working with Tasha Gladman and the Flintlock team. Our business has engaged on a number of business critical projects and has exceeded expectations on each. We felt assured on day 1 that Flintlock has the discipline, collaborative skills and experience necessary to fully understand the business and its objectives. The quality of their approach to each project has ensured the brief is refined and focused. Importantly, the quality of work product and meeting deadlines has been outstanding.”
“Flintlock brought lots of experience to our business and supported us with the development of our global brand communication model. Working as part of the Global team and in collaboration with our agencies we now have the foundations for a powerful multi-market communications platform.”
“We have been working Flintlock for about 9 months now and in that time they have already made a real difference. As a high-growth engineering start-up, we are always looking to maximise our impact in the most cost-effective way. The Flintlock team do that by bringing a unique blend of exceptional marketing experience coupled with the ability (and willingness) to roll their sleeves up and deliver real tangible results on a day-to-day basis.”
“Flintlock really hit the ground running and instantly became part of the Greenall’s team. On the back of a brand strategy and positioning review they created a new global brand plan and communications brief to bring alive the brands 250 year heritage, as well as managing the complex task of repackaging the existing pack design, to appeal to today’s drinkers. Their contribution at the height of the project was much valued and will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the performance this year.”
“Flintlock really understand brands and the retail space. They got to the heart of our issue fast and helped define an exciting new customer proposition. This, in turn, was used to refine our strategic direction and create a rallying cry for both head office and our store colleagues.”
Our approach is honed by years of experience and evidence-based practice that defines what we need to do to get results and diagnose with precision those areas where we can make the biggest impact, the fastest.
That might look different depending on your sector, primary aims, company lifecycle stage and current priorities. Still, in every scenario, our job is to offer fresh thinking, clarity and insights that get to the roots of your brand, establishing the way forward with purpose and conviction.
It is often impossible for founders and business owners to have the ability to take a considered step back and look at their brands and businesses with objectivity, which is where our friendly team of brand marketing experts can step in, bringing bright thinking and creativity to refresh and reinvigorate your purpose and drive.
Flintlock bridges the gap between brand and strategic marketing services, ensuring you have the infrastructure, foundation and self-awareness necessary to harness market share and make a mark in any competitive sector.
Reimagining your branding and injecting that focus into your marketing services can provide a compelling advantage, where customers recognise the added value, quality and outstanding experiences you provide – allowing you to increase understanding and clarity, attract more customers, and ultimately take your company to where it wants to be.
As a marketing agency, we have a strong focus on brand strategy and identity, and we appreciate that for many SMEs or those new to professional marketing support, it can be complex to understand the differences between these two consultative and advisory areas.
In a nutshell, as a Southampton brand marketing agency, we define and shape a robust business image that acts as the framework for all your marketing activities. In contrast, digital marketing agencies take that branding and run with it.
Both are valued, important and essential to meeting your long-term goals for growth, but digital marketing can only be truly successful when it builds on the work you have invested into your branding, which underpins your company and its prospects for ongoing development.
