Why a Tier Two agency is having your cake and eating it

Posted by: Jess Chambers - 24.01.23

FIRST UP, WHAT DOES “TIER TWO” MEAN?

You probably already have a strategic above-the-line agency, who has been primarily appointed to define your longer term brand ambition and marketing strategy.

However, what we have learned is that when it comes to subsequent brand, marketing and content initiatives that sit under the lead proposition, these agencies can often be very costly and slow to respond. Your budget is blown before year-end with perhaps little to show for it. 

That’s where we come in – as a TIER TWO agency – specifically designed to answer strategic, creative and content production briefs in an agile and cost efficient way, with highly effective results.

Finding the right balance between strategy, creativity, and your content production budget can be a real challenge. The good news is we’re already solving this for marketers like Homebase, Amazon, Pepsico, ASDA and Fudge…

WHY RIDE SHOTGUN? 

We’re perfectly positioned to help you hit the sweet spot between budget and brilliance. Being smaller, more agile and made up of experts from all the key disciplines you’d find in your above-the-line agency allows us to be more responsive and use highly efficient working processes.

Our tighter, more focussed teams work flexibly to balance swift campaign activation with the high level of creative talent and strategic expertise found in big, global agencies. Ensuring you get high quality content delivered quickly, efficiently and within your budget. And one less problem to deal with.

Strategy. Creative. Activation. You can have it all with a Tier Two agency.

If you’re finding your above-the-line agency struggles to effectively deliver smaller campaigns on budget or at pace, we can provide the balance your marketing budget badly needs, while making your life just that little bit easier.

Perfectly formed

When you are in the trenches it can be hard to bring your head above the parapet to get that bigger picture view of the brand challenges your business faces, why they are happening and what is the simplest route to winning. We work deeply and closely with marketing teams to bring an objective viewpoint and expertise to help you map the road to growing your brand.

Our Leeds-based production hub takes the pain out of production. With 30,000 sq ft of studio space we can expertly manage whatever you can throw at us. All our studios have client workspaces and breakout areas, so being on set is like a home from home. We have HGV access, an industry-leading merchandise storage system powered by our ContentHub technology, set build workshop and a large prop house.

The CGI team is made up of stylists and CGI photography artists collaborating to create perfectly lit and propped compositions. We blend art and science, architects and interior designers with 3D artists and modellers.
