Getting it right since the year 2000

Unilever and Heineken. We're approved vendors for both. We have a global team of talent, overseen by a C Suite level expert in marketing. It's the best of all worlds for big clients. Expertise, accountability, a great track record and the ability to turn on a sixpence when required to. We can react to changing market forces with agility, but always with quality. We have a layered depth to our freelance team that really takes some beating. We work on the largest of projects. Our value for money is also unbeatable, making your budget go further.

We have a very talented collective of global freelancers who are experts in a very specific niche areas - such as Web Database Development / AEO/GEO etc. It's taken the best part of 20 years to build up what we believe is "the best little black book" in the business. Our key people are often in developing countries: But that makes your budget work harder and last longer. You always deal with Steve, the boss directly.

No. But we do cut flab, unnecessary meetings and waste. And we don't need you to spend 2 weeks putting a really detailed brief together either. Founded by a straight-talking Northerner, you're guaranteed pragmatism and honesty. If you prefer your marketing partners' to "put a bit of honey" on things, we might not be for you... As for the work itself, we get to market in a different way, using AI tools and global freelancers, but only the very best - curated over 20 years. This guarantees you the best marketing strategy and delivery at affordable prices.

There are three ways we can work together. Our 'home based, no office' strategy really pays off when it comes to paying up... 1. As a consultancy service - at your place. 2. We can train you / your in-house team on a range of things from Social Media to AI Adoption. 3. We can deliver everything for you. A solid strategy, and agile tactical delivery.

Most of our work comes from word-of-mouth recommendations. So we don't tend to market ourselves too much. We tend to enjoy long term relationships with clients who like the fact we are strategically and commercially creative, we get results and we are agile.

Not really. We work with clients in The Netherlands, China and Germany. And too many to mention in London. I've always travelled for work. That's just how it is. It's just 3 hours door to door from our local train station to Euston and another hour gets us anywhere in London. Don't be at all influenced by location when choosing someone to deliver growth. Location is the worst reason to choose a marketing agency or consultancy.

I was working from home before it was cool. I continue to do so because it's wonderfully quiet where I live and I think a lot more clearly here than I would do frazzled by a 60 minute commute into Manchester so I could have a "proper office". Zoom, Teams, Google Meet - they're all really good these days. Covid threw everybody a curve ball, but we just carried on like nothing happened. (Apart from the fact that we had to seriously diversify into some hitherto unknown sectors.)

You would be surprised. If you agree that it's easy to understand any business if your methodology is sound, it's often a breath of fresh air to work with us. We'll come at things from a different angle - it pays to stand out - especially in a complicated marketplace. We 'shine a light on your value'. The best work we've ever done is where in an early meeting Steve said something along the lines of "Why aren't you talking about THAT?" As Einstein said "the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things and expect different results." You have nothing to lose by talking to us and everything to gain.

No. Over 25 years we've been asked to take on various aspects of the marketing mix and we've excelled at them all. Often in new business relationships, we get asked to do one specific task: We do well and the client asks "can you also do (X)?" Assuming we know that we can, we say yes. We don't do PR (it's as much about who you know as what you know.) Believe me, if we didn't truly believe we could do what you need, we wouldn't waste your time.

Steve has 35 years experience in marketing agencies. He started the business in the year 2000: Steve's core role is strategic. The big idea, the way it travels across media and the way it lands with the customer. Like the head chef at a Michelin starred restaurant, Steve is always 'at the pass' and nothing that goes out goes anywhere without him signing it off personally. As a Be More Cheetah client, you always deal with Steve - never a junior account handler.
