Our Approach

We Listen

If you’ve ever tried on a one-size-fits-all t-shirt, there’s a good chance it won’t fit. We approach each business with an open mind and ears to provide custom-fit solutions unique to your business needs.

We're Hands On

We do more than just advise. We walk the talk, delivering or directing the actual implementation of your marketing and sales activities to attract, convert and retain more customers.

We Get Results

With extensive marketing and sales experience, we work with budgets large and small to deliver the best possible return on your marketing investment.

Expect Better Service

Our focus is to deliver the best possible bang for your buck. All engagements are led by a core team with extensive experience of working both client-side and agency-side in blue chips, SMEs and start-ups. You will always have a senior point of contact accessible to you whether you engage ProMotive on a one-off project or an on-going, outsourced marketing service.

RESULTS-DRIVEN

Perhaps our most defining characteristic. We start with the end in mind, for each and every retainer or project – however large or small. Specifically – we aim to determine and quantify exactly what you want to achieve from our engagement? How would you define success? We then work relentlessly towards meeting your success criteria and deliver on time.

Absolute transparency

The key to long-term relationships in business is trust. Like all industries, the marketing industry has its share of companies large and small who over-charge and under-deliver. We are 100% driven to helping your business meet its objectives. We can only make this is happen upon a foundation of mutual trust. Doing the right thing is in our DNA. We keep you updated on progress at all times – advising what we are doing and why.

Get in touch

Whether you have a project in mind or feel we can help in some way but unsure how, we're happy to talk.
