Ongoing partnerships that grow with your brand
The same senior team, every month.
Some of our strongest client relationships started as a single project and grew into long-term partnerships. The deeper we understand your business, your market, and your goals, the sharper and faster the work gets. Our ongoing partnership model gives you consistent access to senior strategic and creative support without hiring, without onboarding a new agency every time you need something, and without context-setting from scratch.

Your brand evolves as your business does. We ensure it stays consistent, relevant, and properly applied across every touchpoint, whether that’s a new product launch, a recruitment campaign, or a set of exhibition materials.

Brand consistency
We review all outgoing materials against your brand guidelines, catching inconsistencies before they reach your audience. Your team gets feedback fast, with clear direction on how to fix it.

Brand evolution

Common Questions
-
How does a retainer with a brand agency work?
A retainer gives you a fixed monthly allocation of strategic and creative support. The scope flexes month to month based on your priorities: brand work, website updates, campaign assets, consulting. You get consistent access to a senior team that already understands your business, without the overhead of hiring or the friction of re-briefing a new agency for every project.
-
What's the minimum retainer commitment?
Our ongoing partnerships start from £2,500/month with an initial three-month engagement. One month generally isn’t enough to build momentum. Three months gives us time to understand your business, establish priorities, and start delivering meaningful progress. After the initial period, the partnership rolls month to month with a 30-day notice period.
-
Can I increase or decrease my retainer month to month?
Yes. Retainers are flexible by design. If you have a busy period with a product launch or event, we can increase capacity. If things are quieter, we can scale back. The monthly fee adjusts accordingly, and we’ll always recommend what makes sense based on your upcoming activity.
