We complement your skills, transparently.

Our clients tell us that they most value how we adapt to complement their existing strengths and skills. We plug your gaps in experience and work so closely that you develop experience with us. We share our entire thought process and the supporting data so that we challenge and learn together.

Together, we’ll make sure you fight the right battles. We know resources and bandwidth are finite and help work within them. We are honest, direct and supportive – always ready to challenge you for better but have recommendations on how to get there.

Meet the team

The majority of the more2 team are working directly with our clients either in a consultative strategy and planning role or within one of our expert delivery teams. The delivery teams cover data build, analytics, campaigns, digital performance, media and email. As our client, you gain access to experts in all these disciplines for just the amount of time you need, so you can compete with the market leaders from day one and our resource will grow with you.

We find real fulfilment in working on a long term basis with such amazing brands because we feel very much part of their story.

Our Client Strategy Directors are seasoned marketing professionals with typically 10-15 years’ experience in helping brands like yours unlock the value in their customer data. 

They will be your partner, following the data from how it’s captured (including GDPR compliance) through to generating insight and ultimately taking action, often at individual customer level. They reference benchmarks and experience both within, and outside, your sector to highlight where you can improve. They will help you define the targets, audiences, and metrics to achieve your objectives and how you should measure them.

They're there to support on day-to-day trading decisions. They're there to help build robust multi-year budgets. They have first-hand experience of the opportunities and challenges you face and they're not afraid to have a strong opinion.
