How your work is reviewed
Every piece of work passes through the same six steps, so nothing reaches you, or goes live, without a check and your sign-off.
1. Brief
We agree the goal, the audience and how success will be measured, with you.
2. Create
The production team designs, writes or builds the work to the brief.
3. Internal review
Every piece is checked against the brief and our standard before you see it.
4. Your approval
Nothing goes live until you have signed it off. No surprises.
5. Live
We publish and set up call, WhatsApp and form tracking so results are measured.
6. Report
A monthly report ties the work to real enquiries, with the source of every figure.
Every plan, design and campaign is reviewed against the brief before it reaches you, and Umar signs off the strategy and the monthly numbers on each account.
