The Creative Process
I want to be helpful to you in any way I can. To give direction and navigate this route I use The Creative Process.
Our services on offer are broad, and myself and the Associates are totally flexible in our approach to every project.
Experience shows there is a big need to be clear about the result to be attained, and full agreement on the route and approach required to get there.
This is The Creative Process.

Working With Us
There are no set rules on how you work with me or my Associates. For a simple stills shoot, you would just be talking with myself. Something bigger and complex will involve a team.
I want to hear what you are looking to achieve. Do you have a brief that is set in stone? Fantastic. If not, let’s work together to craft the best brief for your needs.
The basic principle of keeping things simple, stripped back with no fluff or padding helps keep true to how things should work. It keeps your budget to a minimum and takes the weight of organisation, delivery and timescale off your shoulders. Check out our Bowers and Wilkins 800 product launch case studies.
I never take it for granted that everything is clear and obvious about how things can work. With this in mind see below for a quick run down of the kind of conversations we should be having.
What we should be talking about
→ Come to us with your brief, your ideal budget and when you need it by
→ Let’s then confirm the services required and introduce you to the Associates
→ Next, have a kick off call with the team to iron out any questions and unknowns and start the wheels turning
→ We’ll supply you with an approach to confirm our solutions to what you need
→ The next step is creating an estimate and a budget that matches the agreed approach and brief
→ When you are ready, financial and supplier details are put into place
→ To press go, an advanced invoice is raised to cover all production expenses. That’s the oil for the wheels
→ Production keeps a close eye on the execution, delivery and timings, liaising fully with you to bring us to the finish line together
