What we do

Engagement Strategy

“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

We help ambitious organisations plan smarter, create boldly and deliver measurable results. From strategy and creative to campaign execution, we connect insight with impact through our proven Strategy-Driven Engagement Model™ (SDEM).

We work with clients to:

  • Reposition or change perceptions of their brand
  • Enter new markets or territories with confidence
  • Launch new products or capabilities – from positioning and naming to finding new customers
  • Audit and strengthen existing marketing or comms strategies
  • Research competitors and reputation to sharpen market positioning

In short, we help solve the big, complex challenges that internal teams can struggle to tackle alongside day-to-day operations.

As an independent partner, we provide objective, practical advice that’s designed to be implemented, not just left on a slide deck.

Our work

Their understanding of the audience and wider dynamics, and ability to translate into marketing assets was nothing short of incredible. I’d highly recommend Engage.

Concept & Creative

“Agencies are only as good as their next project.”

At Engage, creativity isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about solving real problems with smart, original ideas.

That could mean:

  • Developing a compelling campaign concept
  • Designing an award-winning live experience
  • Crafting content for an exhibition stand
  • Producing a new brand film
  • Creating an immersive museum or staff roadshow experience

Because we are completely media neutral, our recommendations are always tailored to your challenge, not a recycled solution. We work in partnership, based on trust: if an idea won’t work, we’ll say so. And if the answer isn’t marketing at all, we’ll say that too.

For us, creativity isn’t always about being flashy, but we love it when it pushes boundaries.

Our work

Thank you for everything you’ve done on the videos. They are fantastic and we’ve already had some great feedback. Thank you for being so responsive and going above and beyond to help us get this over the line. It’s been a real pleasure to work with you.

Campaign Delivery

“Every boxer has a plan, until they get punched in the face.”

Campaigns rarely run in a straight line, that’s why we design, manage and adapt them from brief to delivery.

Using our Strategy-Driven Engagement Model™ (SDEM), we help clients to:

  • Define their core propositions, narrative and messages
  • Convert those into compelling reasons to engage or buy
  • Build messaging and communications matrices
  • Create campaign content and collateral
  • Oversee media planning and delivery
  • Monitor and measure success against objectives

From bid campaigns to brand campaigns, we’re hands-on partners, writing plans, producing content and delivering measurable results.

Our work

It was a privilege to work with Engage on Innovations Live, the culmination of a campaign over many years produced at a scale and ingenuity not seen in the defence sector. Something that would not have been possible without the involvement of Engage in shaping, managing and producing the event.
