What we do
Strategy, marketing and advertising to women
We work with you to identify the aspects of your brand, product, retail, customer-service and selling environment that can be optimised to increase your sales to women.
In our experience, reaching women doesn’t always mean changing everything, it can simply mean tweaking what you’re already doing to make use of triggers that will have an impact on your female target audience.
Brand insight: Fem-o-Meter
Using our in-depth knowledge of the way women respond to marketing messages, we dig deeper to uncover the insights that will identify how your brand needs to develop to meet the needs, desires and aspirations of today’s women. Using our proprietary tool, Fem-o-Meter, we assess where your brand communications are, and how they need to develop to become more effective.
Brand positioning and identity
We’ll help you develop a clear and compelling brand positioning and express it in ways that tap into the drivers that motivate women not just to buy, but to become brand advocates.
Creative development
Insight-driven creative is only effective when the insight is transformed into a creative execution that will cut through the sea of mediocre work we’re so used to seeing.
Whether it’s men or women coming up with the ideas, when it comes to female brands, old cliches and stereotypes still live on in our agency creative departments.
We aim to help you produce creative, effective advertising that taps into what women are really like, not what people in ad agencies think they’re like.
