    The Greenhouse assists existing and new businesses with a completely integrated and innovative brand development process. We offer a phased process with client involvement every step of the way. The Agency charges per step, per phase, creating a risk reduced process until we have reached the desired objectives. Our Values: We care as much about Values as Victory, as much about Purpose as Profit and as much about being Useful as being Successful. Although we have won many awards in the past we feel this is not where our focus lies today. We care more about being useful effective and highly creative for our clients than for awards judges. Our process: Chemistry Session: Seeing / feeling if we want to work together. It's important to work with someone you trust and can depend on when engaging with an agency. This helps determine depth of experience and expertise. Audit and Interrogation: Defining the needs for growth and development. We develop a strategy that defines all further roll out elements. Brand creation; If needed, full CI and design development or Revamp. Website, brand style guide and stationary. An important pahse that gives your brand it's flavour and personality. Brand Ignition: The Greenhouse defines the creative narrative (BIG IDEA) that drives content creation and advertising. The Agency develops a presentation that covers exactly what your advertising looks like from TV / video, print, billboard, online advertising, social media posts, through to below the line promotional elements (Digital and traditional) or innovative and experiential ideas. Brand analysis: We assess all advertising activity after an agreed period of time (relative to objectives and needs) and determine next steps forward. Our price: We are competitively priced, but not cheap. All aspects of the journey will be costed and presented before any work commences. We are an agency with 25 years of experience. We know how to add value with direct conversations and great advise. This efficient and aligned approach is where you save money as a client and where good direction goes a long way in reducing risk and waste in the long run.
