Our mission is simple...
...to save you time and money by connecting you to all the services you need to achieve your marketing goals.
​
We enjoy being different to a traditional marketing agency and other standard suppliers. Being connected with account managers, graphic designers, website developers, print and direct mail buyers, merchandising gurus, signage & point of sale experts, installation teams, events managers, website developers, copywriters, photographers and videographers, plus many more services – means whatever your marketing team needs to make your campaigns a success, we can connect you.
​
Not being tied to any single supplier, but being properly connected to a wide range of expert partners ensures we can access the right services at the right time for the right price to help you deliver your marketing and business targets.
​
It also means they are keen to work with us as we bring them great projects like yours to excite and engage their creative minds and delivery-focused energy – from a simple door drop to high-quality, multi-channel activity – all our partners love making a difference to your campaigns. Which in turn helps us combine projects to achieve the best value and help stretch your project budget to the maximum.
​
We are based in Swindon, but the great thing about working with the best creative partners across the UK and beyond, and in the ever-changing new world we’re all working becoming increasingly virtual, we can be wherever you need us to be.
Our history...
Our founder Kevin spent over two decades providing high-value service to thousands of customers who needed print services, and has developed truly expert knowledge of the finer details of everything that comes with print. The technical specifications, variety of formats, inks, production materials and shipping requirements are just a few of the many key elements to delivering a quality print job Kevin’s clients could be proud to have their brand on.
​
However, the question Kevin was asked the most, beyond the need for print work, was “do you know someone who can also help with this…” – with ‘this’ often being another marketing service such as design work, copywriting, branded merchandise or some other additional trade or skill.
​
Kevin’s desire to go above and beyond for his customers, coupled with his vast network of trusted contacts, established over the years of working in partnership with other expert providers, meant he was in most cases able to make those connections and put people together with the suppliers they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to access easily.
​
Nevertheless, Kevin identified that despite being able to make these great connections, it still left busy marketing teams a big challenge. Already stretched for time and resource, you would still have to deal with multiple suppliers, differing project and job deadlines, being the go-between amongst individual suppliers with their own commercial pressures – all of these issues only increase the chance of key details being missed and potentially expensive mistakes. Not fun for either the marketers or the suppliers.
​
So, Kevin started The Marketing Connection – the answer to all these time and energy draining challenges and the route to everything a busy marketing team needs to succeed!
