Graham specializes in tailor-made, innovative and interactive advertising solutions for SME’s. He assists clients in clarifying their business goals with intelligent marketing, logos and complete campaigns. Here’s Graham!
You mean apart from the mask and cape? The Ad Agency’s core market are SME’s (Small to Medium Enterprise). We’re a boutique agency and absorb ourselves within our client’s business. So much so that at present one key client has even allocated a desk to The Ad Agency within their office! Many of our clients have tight marketing budgets, so we advise how to best spend their revenue investment dollars, develop the campaigns, and measure the results.
