What makes
us different?
Gough, your full service marketing agency
Your world, through a human lens
Human brains run on two-hundred-thousand-year-old software. Which means we are more often than not, driven by raw, primal emotions and the use of heuristics to navigate basic life.
Our world is understanding exactly that. Why people do what they do.
No cookie-cutter approaches here. Your business is unique and so are the people you’re trying to reach. We deep dive into the behavioural patterns, psychology and triggers of your target audience, crafting solutions that speak directly to their visceral motivations and needs.
The Gough guarantee
No fluff – just results. We stand for honesty, hard work, and being grounded in real human insights.
We’re here to help you decode your customers’ behaviours and turn that knowledge into commercial success.

What we're good at
We were founded in 1936.
For nearly 90 years, what’s been constant in our business (other than the name) is the need to solve commercial problems using a combination of great thinking, engaging creativity & innovative technology.
The technology is always evolving, but what is true for the long haul is understanding what drives human behaviour.
Why work with us
We have a great blend of youth and experience.
You get senior people on your business day to day, not just at the pitch. Along with cutting edge ideas and thinking that will push you and your business further.
Our ‘under one roof’ approach delivers compound effectiveness.
They say to a man with a hammer, every problem resembles a nail... That’s why we solve your commercial problems using the broadest skill set possible, which means a full toolkit (that does also includes a hammer!)
We’re experts at making budgets work harder, delivering better bang for your buck.
Our starting point is what can you do for free? Then work upwards. We don’t start by complaining you don’t have enough money!
