What makes
us different?
Unlocking growth for SMEs, a very joined up and human approach
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-cutters. Your business is unique and so are the people you’re trying to reach. Our joined up marketing approach works wonders with your budgets, delivering proven success time after time.
The Gough guarantee
No fluff – just results. We stand for honesty, hard work, and being grounded in real human insights.
As your tried and trusted marketing partner we’re here to help you decode your customers’ behaviours and turn that knowledge into commercial success.
A full marketing toolkit
under one roof:
Brand
Creating a brand is more than logos and taglines; it's about crafting a story that speaks to the heart of your audience.
Creative
We deliver big ideas that do more than just catch the eye – they engage the mind and connect on a human level.
PR
Transforming your brand's voice into an industry-leading force, our PR services elevate your presence.
Social
We boost your brand's online presence by creating content that sparks conversations and turns followers into loyal fans.
Performance marketing
We leverage our expertise in behavioural science to understand what drives your audience's online actions.
Content
Effective content marketing means telling stories that engage and inspire.
Community & Stakeholder Engagement
We help secure planning consents with effective stakeholder engagement, followed by brand-protecting community liaison during construction works.
Web
To stand out from competitors you need a website where users can complete the key actions seamlessly.
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!
Our people are curious, hungry and well-schooled -
A learning culture is in our DNA because we're members of the IPA, which means there is less risk for you from bad advice and a greater chance of success. As a team member, it means you get great coaching and mentoring.
