“What you want from a creative partner is someone who understands what you're trying to achieve, not just what you've asked them to produce. That's what stood out about CTA.”

When what you’re saying isn’t keeping pace with what you offer.

Do you feel your brand and product are scaling, but their value is still hard to explain? Your messages vary across channels. Content goes out, but it’s hard to know what is building trust, understanding, or demand.

This is exactly what CTA solves.

We connect data, strategy, creative, and production to keep your story clear, consistent and centred on your customers.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“What you want from a creative partner is someone who understands what you're trying to achieve, not just what you've asked them to produce. That's what stood out about CTA. They challenged the brief in the right ways, brought fresh thinking and knew how to turn a strong idea into something that delivered.”
OUR WORK03 / 06

Case Studies

Making complex brands clear, compelling and human. We connect strategy, creative and production to help audiences understand what makes your brand valuable.

Google

Complex technology across eight Google product areas, including Google Ads, Android and Chrome, was translated into clear stories for paid media, live events and content partnerships. Strategy, creative direction and production worked together across formats.

Huawei

Huawei needed to communicate a bigger role than making devices: enabling global connectivity. The strategic choice was to partner with BBC StoryWorks, using human stories across BBC and Huawei channels to bring that message to life.

Qualcomm

Qualcomm’s technology can be hard to make tangible beyond a specialist audience. Partnering with WIRED the content showcased innovators to connect complex technology with human stories. Across the wider Condé Nast WIRED and GQ programme, work for Qualcomm and other partners generated over 50 million views.

Good to know06 / 06

Questions before we start.

What size company is CTA right for?

CTA is built for scaling tech businesses with a product to explain and a clear reason to grow. That can mean a founder-led company building its first joined-up brand and content operation, or an established team that needs extra strategic and production capacity. The fit depends more on the challenge and ability to make decisions than headcount.

Do we need a marketing team already?

No. CTA can help set the direction and organise the work when there is no full in-house team. If you do have one, we work alongside it, bringing senior strategy, creative direction and production where they add capacity or expertise. We agree who owns approvals, channels and day-to-day decisions at the start.

How do you work with founder-led companies?

We start with the founder’s view of the product, customers and ambition, then turn that knowledge into a story the wider business can use. Short decision points keep the founder close to the important choices without making every asset depend on their time.

Can CTA be our one-stop marketing partner?

For brand and product marketing, CTA connects strategy, creative, content production and learning from channel data in one working relationship. We can plan work across organic and paid channels and collaborate with your media, PR, sales or technical specialists when those skills are needed. We agree the exact remit before starting.

What makes this different from a traditional agency?

The same senior thinking connects the brief, the creative and the work that goes live. Instead of treating strategy, a launch and ongoing content as separate handoffs, CTA plans a continuing stream of useful work, reviews the response and adapts it. If a larger agency or specialist is already involved, we define a clear role alongside them.

What kind of work can we make together?

Brand and product strategy, positioning, messaging, creative direction, film and ongoing content. The format and channels follow what buyers need to understand and what the business needs to achieve. See what we do and ways to work together.

How do you charge?

Usually through a monthly retainer with a defined scope and an initial six-month commitment, so there is time to plan, make, learn and improve. We price onboarding, core work and any specialist production costs clearly before starting. The proposal sets out capacity, deliverables, review points and what would be quoted separately. There is no fixed public price because each team needs a different mix.

How much time will we need to give it?

We need access to the right people and product knowledge at the start, plus a decision-maker for timely feedback. After onboarding, we establish a workable cadence for planning, reviews and approvals. The aim is to take work off your team’s plate while keeping you involved in the decisions that matter.

Will you replace our current agencies or suppliers?

Only if that is what the brief calls for. CTA can connect the work already being done by your team and partners, or take responsibility for the strategy and production scope you need covered. We make responsibilities and handoffs explicit.

How do we know what is working?

We agree the business objective, the audience action and the useful signals before producing. Depending on the work, we look at understanding, engagement, qualified demand and channel response, then use that evidence to refine the next work. We will not claim a creative asset alone caused a sale.

Can you work within our brand, product and security requirements?

Yes. We work with your existing brand system, product experts and approval process. Access to confidential information, tools, filming and any specialist requirements is agreed in the brief and contract before the work starts.

What happens after the intro call?

We discuss the business goal, what is unclear today, who needs to be involved and what is already in place. If there is a fit, CTA proposes a scope, working rhythm, responsibilities and fees for your review. Book a 30-minute introduction.
