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 of marketing agencies?
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.
We’ve been working with creative businesses for a long time now, and we know the ins and outs of financial management, forecasting, we can provide valuable insights about marketing business, so you can make informed decisions.
If you’re looking for someone who has experience in the marketing field, you’re in the right place, because we’re a bunch of people who like accounting for marketing agencies.
