WHO THIS IS FOR
If you are a small business of up to 100 people, that is ready and willing to embrace a meaningful brand shift and eager to make fast decisions that get you back out there growing... then this is for you.
With over 5.5 million in the UK, small businesses are the engine room of our economy. They need every edge to get ahead and stay ahead amid increasing competition.
But to gain that edge, SMEs often can’t command the kind of budgets that larger creative agencies require, or afford the time they can take to turn projects around.
One Sharp Shift is designed to address this. It gives small businesses access to premium agency-grade thinking and doing that delivers a meaningful brand upshift, at a cost and timeframe that works.
