Advertising consulting & studies

Consultancy and studies on advertising and promotional publications such as booklets, catalogues, posters and promotional gifts, and on distributing product samples to promote what you sell.

About this service

Printed promotion still works when it is planned around a clear message and a clear audience. We review and advise on booklets, catalogues, posters and promotional gifts so that every piece earns its cost.

For product launches and promotions, we advise on how to distribute samples and models of your products: who should receive them, where, and how to measure whether it worked.

Questions we often help with

  • Which promotional materials are worth producing, and which are not?
  • Does our catalogue or brochure say the right thing to the right buyer?
  • Are our promotional gifts remembered for the right reasons?
  • How should we run a sampling campaign, and how will we judge it?

How the work runs

  1. 1Discovery

    Interviews, documents and data. We establish what is actually happening before we propose anything.

  2. 2Diagnosis

    Findings measured against regulation, market practice and your objectives, then ranked: urgent, important, and what can wait.

  3. 3Design

    Plans, policies, programmes and materials built for your organisation, not adapted from a template.

  4. 4Implementation

    Rollout planning, briefings and training. We stay with you through the change, not just the report.

  5. 5Review & handover

    We refine what we built based on real use, then hand it over so your team can run it without us.
