Over the years I've had the privilege of working with some great agencies in all areas of the marketing mix. In that time I've found myself going back to a handful because their work was always exceptional, their expertise was top notch, and they're just great to work with. I trust them implicitly and refer them widely.

The team at 2050 London are just the most brilliant creative brand agency you'll meet. High energy, fabulous work and the results deliver real business impact. I've known Adam and the team for some time, and know that their work would improve the business performance of any company!
I've known Richard and the team at Champion Communications for a long time. I've been a client, collaborator and promoter of their work. Getting headlines does wonders for your brand and the Champion team have no end of ideas on how to get them. It took me a long time to find them and I'm not looking anywhere else!
I first met Andrew and the CRMT Digital team in the early 2000s. They were working with data and systems to unlock the value and impact of marketing on business that no one else was doing. Some years later the field of 'marketing operations' emerged, yet CRMT Digital were doing this before 'this was a thing'. True profit hunting pioneers!
Russ and I worked together at a Managed hosting business some years ago. Going our separate ways we reconnected when Russ had formed 'Shift Digital' with his business partner, Blake. Shift has a great digital skills portfolio, and when it comes to running online ad campaigns, Boom! They ace it every time.
When the Romans were deciding strategy the generals would get together in a tent for a day. Today's equivalent is we get in a room together but that's where it usually goes wrong. A good facilitator can turn wasted air into powerful outcomes. Steve Morris is a brilliant facilitator who applies design thinking that can herd cats and set strategy!
Jamie and the team at Buyingtime were doing ABM marketing and sales before ABM was given a name. ABM was never new. It was a term given to high touch, personalised, relationship based nurturing and selling, and Jamie and the team have been smashing this for years! The pipelines the team have built over the years would be the envy of most businesses!
In B2B Marketing and selling you can't get away from the fact that in 90% of cases you need a relationship with the buyer. This means that tele-based services are a vital channel for marketing, and when it comes to tele-services Scott and the team at GCL B2B have been a stalwart for me. From data services to appointments and nurturing the team are the best, and always my first call!
