Think!Creative are always my ‘go-to guys’ when I need inspired, creative and thoughtful design. I’ve always found them to have an innate ability to understand not just the design brief but also the wider campaign context and objectives - a highly valued aspect of this highly valued team.

- Greg Trew, Communications Manager – BP Refining

We’ve been working with the team at Think!Creative for many years and rate them as strong, collaborative and reliable creative partners on a wide range of projects and deliverables. They apply creativity and stretch thoughtfully, based on a thorough understanding of our brand requirements. We also value their diligence – running projects efficiently and effectively to deliver on time and on budget, pulling out the stops when our deadlines are pressing and keeping us informed throughout.

- Charlotte McGrath Head of Group Communications, Corporate Communications – BAE Systems plc

The team at Think! are nimble, smart and professional. Their style is collaborative, we can pose an open design problem or a half developed concept and either way they surprise us with the creativity of the solution. They are efficient and timely turning work around and communicative in managing expectations, always delivering against our deadlines and budgets. Most importantly though, they partner with us to understand our needs and create customer centric, creative solutions valued by our users.

- Fiona Marley Director Commercial, Sales, Marketing & Retail Capabilities, People & Culture – BP International Ltd

We have worked with Think!Creative for a number of years. They are a team of highly-talented, creative professionals, but what we really value about them, is that they know the importance of strategic and business goals. We cannot emphasise enough the variety in projects we have asked for their support on over the years, and they deliver compelling creative solutions each time. They are our go-to supplier, we can trust them, and they deliver outstanding, quality work. Highly recommend.

- Holly Wild External Communications Manager – RBSL Ltd

From the first time we met Think! to discuss and outline future marketing initiatives, it was clear that they grasped what was being expected from them. Think!Creative came into their own and the results showed immediately in our order book. In a market where it is impossible to achieve a like for like price, we know that we received excellent value for money.

- Paul Garside Former CEO – SPIE GarsideLaycock

Think!Creative have consistently provided an excellent service along with innovative ideas, an understanding of our requirements and attention to detail. Every project has been an enjoyable experience and we are in no doubt that our excellent working relationship with them will continue.

- Matthew Hirst CEO – Utiligroup / ESG Global

Think!Creative is a design agency that offers creative marketing materials whilst adhering closely to brand policy which is of paramount importance to a company such as BAE Systems. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other companies.

- Kate Roberts Communications Manager – BAE Systems plc

How it works

We get it. Why should you wait? Can we not just get on with the exciting creative stuff thank you very much? The trouble is that's a bit like driving around with your eyes closed. That's why our process helps you see the big picture first before we decide where we're going.

Step 1

Explore

If everything was hunky dory and your business was performing perfectly then there would be no need for snazzy new comms or a fresh approach to branding. But (real talk) there's always something getting in the way isn't there? So that's why we explore your problem first. And we always start with meetings, workshops and other exercises designed to answer one question. What's the problem here?

Step 2

Reframe

Once we've explored your problem, we need to reframe it. Together, we'll can build a picture of your audience, what makes you different, and turn that knowledge into a plan for how we’re going to solve the problem. Who will you target and who will you ignore? What will you say? This is where we we start exploring the possibilities, and putting the outcome into a fully fledged creative strategy. That strategy is there to help you get work that doesn't just look the business - but does the business too.

Step 3

Think!

If you want big results, you need an agency who will turf up every rock on the beach to find the best possible answer to your brief. In short you need big ideas. Big ideas give you the unbeatable advantage of being interesting. That helps us define your brand and tell your story in fresh and exciting ways so you get noticed and talked about, both online and off.

Step 4

Activate

But creativity is just the start. In our experience it’s the details that are the difference between a job done and a job done well. Our dedication to getting everything spot-on runs from before the first phone call until well after sign off. Whether you want to bring your brand to life onscreen or off, or just make a big noise about something - we can help you get it right.

Step 5

Evaluate

But did it work? Pretty pictures aren’t enough these days. The good news is because we set targets at the Explore stage, we can go back and work out if the work has, well... worked! Here we evaluate how things are going, and optimise the work to make sure you meet your goal.
