Marketing & PR

What We Do

We draft and review your client terms of business, freelance and supplier arrangements, advise on shareholder agreements and company structure, handle employment matters and settlement agreements, recover unpaid invoices, and act on the sale or acquisition of an agency.

Why We’re Experts

Agencies are fragile in two specific places: when a senior person leaves and takes the contacts with them, and when a good client stops paying. We tighten both — the terms you trade on, and the arrangements with the people who deliver the work.

How we work with you

Quick, commercial and without unnecessary process — much like the way you work. You will know what it costs before we start, not after.

Frequently Asked

Questions

Our client terms haven’t been reviewed in years. Does it matter?

It matters most when something goes wrong. Scope creep, late payment and arguments about ownership of work are all far easier to resolve when the terms actually address them rather than leaving it to memory.

A client won’t pay. What can we do?

More than most agencies assume. Early correspondence resolves a good proportion of unpaid accounts. We will review the paperwork, explain the realistic options and tell you what recovery is likely to cost before you commit.

A senior person is leaving. How do we protect client relationships?

It depends what their contract says and how the departure is handled. We advise on employment matters and settlement agreements, and can review the wider arrangements to reduce the risk of the same thing happening again.

We’re thinking about selling the agency. When should we start preparing?

Earlier than most people do. Buyers look closely at client contracts, how the team is engaged and whether the business depends on one or two individuals. Those things take time to address properly.

How much will it cost?

We will explain the likely cost once we understand what is involved. Where a fixed fee is available, we will confirm what is included before work begins.
