CASE STUDIES
WHY CHOOSE US?
We've spent a long time crafting our offer and our delivery. Just like you have with your own business, we've trialled, errored, and trialled again. Of course, we're always improving, but we think we've got a pretty unique, and compelling offer for those who fear the status quo. As creative as we are, we could probably come up with a million reasons to choose The Change Starter, but we thought we would start with the ones that suit your needs.​
Great For Cashflow
We manage your entire annual marketing budget and split it over 12 equal monthly invoices, so you know exactly what you’re spending each month. We manage all supplier payments throughout the year, so while many expenses are paid out in the first 3 months of setup, you still only pay the one monthly invoice instead of being charged for everything up front like most agencies would do.
​
Experts Work On Your Business
Our team all work full time in their area of expertise, so they are available when needed, but you're not paying for them full time.
​
Strategically Led
TCS is led by an experienced marketing strategist, who is obsessed with efficiencies and leading multiple external marketing functions, so you don’t have to.
We Get You
We have the proven ability to distil and simplify complex marketing challenges and take them off your plate; no matter how nuanced they are to your specific industry.
​
You Know The Plan Up Front
Everything flows out of the agreed strategy and calendar, so key people in your business can see what comms are planned out, and we can sync seamlessly with the operational side of the business.
​
Reduce Your Risk
We take on the risk of extra costs if you don't like the work we present. It’s in our best interest to write accurate briefs, present poignant marketing strategies, and roll out hardworking content so you see positive change as soon as possible.
​
Efficient Use Of Your Investment
Money is not wasted on account management fees and a large hierarchy of people on the payroll, commonplace in traditional agencies. Your budget is used to implement every part of your marketing activity calendar, so we don’t charge for people waiting to be told what to do next; they read your marketing plan and jump on it when needed.
​
Your Very Own Marketing Team
We assemble your marketing dream team with the exact skills and people needed to implement the marketing plan.
​
Full Spectrum Marketing
We assemble outsourced teams who work across a multitude of channels. We're unbiased with the channels we select (unlike a social media agency might be, for example) so you benefit from the full spectrum of marketing without the headache of multiple agencies.
​
Work With The Best
We have access to a pool of pre-vetted qualified marketing professionals from around the globe who understand the commercial realities.​​
