Branding and Marketing
Would you look at that?
Branding, advertising, PR, marketing and other creative communications...these businesses are volatile, competitive, fast moving, and we love them!
Ready for the roller coaster?
As well as being a really cool sector of the economy, branding, marketing, and creative agencies are some of the most volatile and difficult to manage businesses.
There are common issues like, should you grow by employing more people or stay small and use freelancers as projects come in? We can help you work out the answer by looking at what each route looks like and what things to consider.
Should we go for the high profit but low creative freedom jobs or chase the dream? Usually, it needs to be a mix of both, again we can show you what different scenarios look like.
Right beside you through feast or famine
We know that securing retainers is hard, so most of the work will be new business that you have to win.
Most jobs will come in at the last minute so managing your cash flow is vital. We can give you the tools to monitor and manage the cash in the business and help guide and support you in difficult periods when the jobs don’t seem to be coming in.
We can also help you to minimise tax and improve profitability when the going is good.
We are an all-weather partner, so we will be celebrating your wins with you and holding your hand through the lows.
Reasons why we're right for creative agencies
All in the plan
It is true that most successful businesses have a plan. A plan for the buzzing busy periods but also for the dips. We help our clients make those plans, monitor and adjust over time to help them reach their goals.
Too many hats
When winning and delivering the business is all consuming, business admin can become a hindrance. Giving the bookkeeping and admin to us gives you one less thing to worry about.
Visual reporting
Most creatives process things visually, we provide management reports that are visually easy to digest and understand rather than sheet of numbers. Helping you make better business decisions.
Nightmare jobs
Each project has the capacity to make you money or turn into a nightmare over spend. We provide the job by job costing and reporting to manage jobs in real time and maximise efficiency and return.
