CLIENT STORY  |  'THAT MARKETING'

The owner of 'That Marketing' had seen an incredible office in a film and always dreamed of making his own office look similar. He needed more space, wanted a 'roomy' feel, needed to fit more desks and provide better natural light... but didn’t want to move.

THE SOLUTION

ABC Designers worked closely with the marketing business [owner and staff] to create not just the office they’d seen in their film, but something that included more space and a smoother workflow between departments.

THE OUTCOME

By combining their vision, our experience in design and a carefully selected fitter, the client found the staff were at work for longer so productivity increased significantly. 
This is because there were less sick days as people actually enjoyed being at work and consequently worked harder whilst there.

Clients enjoyed visiting the new offices so talking business was far easier resulting in more business for the firm.

Overall, staff and clients are a lot happier. Because of this the owner of Look at That Marketing is a delighted client of ours and referred two other friends who own businesses.
Their office now features on the cover of our latest brochure. 

A FEW WORDS FROM GRAHAM

Hi John, I don’t know you and can’t give advice in context but I can tell you that I sat down with ____ over a year ago and set a 12 month goal of £200,000 in revenue. An increase from £82,000. We hit that goal in 8 months which has changed my life and business as you can imagine.

I know there are a lot of consultants out there but these guys give it to you straight, won’t BS you and if you have a decent work ethic, you’ll get tons out of it. Happy to chat if you want further reassurance.

- Graham Smith  |  That Marketing

YOUR INVESTMENT

Our fee is essentially zero. Our incredible relationships with suppliers mean that the discounts
we get are passed on to you instead of us taking a commission. 

“I'm amazed at how much more productive our team are.
Staff are staying longer and are happier. Clients love the office and are more keen to work with us and we even have a place to conduct seminars and increase revenue. Amazing."

- John Smith  |  ABC Design
