CREATIVE STRATEGY CONSULTANCY

The Marking Smith

Creative brand consultancy

Does your design team need support during a busy time? Are you looking for creative design work and don’t know where to start? We can help.

The Marketing Smith will always start at the beginning – discussing your strategic aims, vision and overall business focus. We’ll develop a creative brief, ensuring that we understand what you want to achieve from the offset. This will help form the creative thinking of our creative strategist, design and content experts. From here we will develop creative solutions for your review, to discuss and to take forward.

Brand strategy to support your business model

We work with businesses in a collaborative way, like we are part of your team. We ensure that we fully understand your branding, marketing strategies and overall business strategy so the creative work developed well and truly reflects the brand and most importantly will resonate with your audience. Any queries you have ahead of our work ultimately being carried out will be answered in the fact finding stage.

  • Will they follow our brand guidelines effectively?
  • Will this design work positively contribute towards new business?
  • Will the concepts stand out against competitors?

We will guide you through the process to ensure the creative ideas reflect your business and brand to create a successful project.

Social media marketing and so much more

The work we support could be a one-off project for an advertising campaign, extra design support during a busy seasonal time or more frequent design work. Some clients utilise our creative strategy consultant services to help create a new social media marketing project, develop new ads for a paid advertising campaign or offer blue sky thinking for new initiatives.

  • Brand and design identity: helping you to create the right identity for your business is so much more than a logo. Developing the right look, feel and tone to stand out against other brands is a way to create sustainable sales amongst consumers.
  • Digital marketing: creative strategy expertise is available to support your existing or potentially new digital strategy. This may include design assets for social media platforms, email marketing design and paid online advertising campaigns.
  • Website design service: your website is your online shop window, and so plays a key part in your business development and sales function. Customer design should be simple and easy to ensure they can find what they need to make a purchase or enquire.
  • Corporate literature and brochures: content marketing offline is just as important as digital marketing. Creation of brochures, flyers or other key take-aways for customers can help towards sales.
  • Exhibition design: for events and exhibitions you want to stand out against competitor brands, what better way than having an impactful stand or backdrop that will catch the eye of visitors.
