Question 1

What should I look for in a creative agency?

Accepted Answer

Picking the right creative agency is an important decision in helping your business thrive in the long term. We hope we’re the right fit for you, but equally we may not be right for what you need right now. Here’s 5 quick pointers to help you find the creative agency that rights for you:
1. Portfolio and Skills: 
Check out an agency's portfolio to see the quality and creativity of their past work. Look for projects within similar sectors to yours to see if they have the right skills and experience for what you need. A variety of styles and cool ideas show they’re versatile.
2. Client Feedback: 
Perhaps a no-brainer but read reviews and testimonials from their previous clients. This will give you an idea of how reliable they are, how well they communicate, and if they meet deadlines. Positive reviews and case studies of successful projects, for recognised brands are great signs.
3. Services Offered: 
Make sure they offer all the services you need, like branding, graphic design, digital marketing, and video production for example. A one-stop shop like us can keep your project consistent and save you time.
4. Team and Collaboration: 
Get to know the team members, their qualifications, and experience. A skilled and experienced team will likely deliver high-quality results. Also, check if they’re open to feedback and can work well with your team. We’d always rather start conversations in person with our potential clients as team ‘chemistry’ is important for the long-term.
5. Creative Process: 
Understand their creative process from brainstorming to execution. A clear and structured process helps keep the project on track and ensures it meets your expectations. You can find more about how we work on our website here.
6. Budget and Value: 
Discuss your budget upfront and see if they can deliver within your price range. While cost is important, focus on the value they provide. The cheapest option isn’t always the best for long-term success.
7. Cultural Fit: 
Choose an agency that aligns with your company’s values and culture. A good cultural fit leads to better communication and a more effective partnership.
By considering these 7 factors, you’ll be able to pick a creative design agency that brings your vision to life and helps your business thrive. If you’d like to have an informal chat with us to see if we’re the right fit. Please drop us a line here.

Question 2

Why should I choose Turbine Creative over other creative agencies?

Accepted Answer

When looking for a creative agency to partner with your brand, we believe Turbine Creative could be a great match for you because of the following 6 reasons:
1. We’re a highly experienced team: 
Our core team has worked on strategic international campaigns for many global brands. So having delivered at the highest level (and won awards along the way) we know what it takes to create a high-performing campaign.
2. We get awesome client feedback: 
Don’t just take our word for it. Check out our client testimonials to see what positive things others are saying about us. Both the impact of the content we produce, and the enjoyable process of working with us. 
3. We are sector specialists: 
We primarily focus on the Health, Life Science, and Sport sectors, stemming from successful experiences with high-profile brands and extensive knowledge from past agency work. We have also established a great network of top-tier professional advisors in these fields, providing us with valuable expertise for each new project that we can pass on to you, the customer.
4. We offer a wide range of marketing content services: 
We pride ourselves on being able to deliver high quality content across multiple platforms in brand, video, animation, digital and print. Making your campaigns more coherent and cost effective. However, for full transparency, we are NOT fully focussed developers and would not take on complex website content or in depth app production. We do, however, have partners that can support us with this. 
5. Great value for money and going the extra mile: 
We deliver great value for money (which is different from bargain basement prices without the quality you require). We charge between £450 and £540 a day per person, depending on the kind of work required. In terms of filming, the day rate is scaled up or down in price, depending on how many crew are on site, and what the production requirements are. We’re happy to give estimates and chat through your needs if you want more accurate pricing.
6. Our creative process is transparent and well planned out: 
We always keep you well informed. Our project management team creates gantt charts and let you know key sign-off dates and allow for multiple iterations and opportunities for amends. We want to partner with you throughout the whole process. Thereby, making the process of creating your awesome marketing content as enjoyable and fun as it should be!
Having said all of these things, we appreciate choosing a creative agency to represent your brand is tricky, and we may NOT be the right fit for you, for whatever reason. But, if you’re not sure, drop us a line and let’s meet in person or do a quick video call where we can present ourselves in person.

Question 3

What areas do you specialise in and how can that support my organisation?

Accepted Answer

Turbine Creative specialise in branding, video production, animation and marketing campaigns. These can be summarised, in some ways as ‘content marketing’. We are not specialists in techy coding or developper-led work. 
Our team have won multiple awards for our campaign and video projects and had the opportunity to work on some of the biggest brands in the world developing new campaigns and creating compelling and engaging content.

Our specialism in these areas mean you get a team with a proven track record who can draw on 15+ year of experience to deliver the results you need. Whether that is educating an audience, promoting a new product or creating a new brand from scratch.

Question 4

What is your company's purpose and how does that benefit me?

Turbine Creative’s purpose is to 
“Help people communicate the full potential of their brand through exceptional marketing materials that help exceed their company goals.”
We want to help you communicate all the greatest things about your company that are most attractive to your chosen audience, and execute this in a way that is super creative, dynamic and gets the results you want. What’s not to love!?

Question 5

What are the benefits of using a creative agency over a freelance designer?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a creative agency, like Turbine Creative, over a freelance designer offers several key benefits, primarily centred around the breadth and depth of services, expertise, and resources.
Comprehensive Skill Set: A creative agency typically has a diverse team of professionals, each specializing in different areas such as graphic design, video production, animation, copywriting, marketing strategy, and social media management. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a cohesive and comprehensive execution of your project. In contrast, a freelance designer, no matter how skilled, usually offers expertise in a narrower range of areas.
Consistent Quality and Reliability: Agencies will tend to have established processes and quality control measures in place, which ensures consistent and high-quality output. Freelancers, who work independently, might not have the same level of quality assurance, and their availability can vary, potentially leading to delays or inconsistent results.
Scalability and Flexibility: Creative agencies can scale their services to meet the demands of larger or more complex projects. They have the capacity to allocate multiple team members to a project if needed, ensuring deadlines are met without compromising quality. Freelancers, working alone, may struggle with larger projects or tight deadlines due to limited bandwidth.
Strategic Insights: Agencies like us, not only execute creative tasks but also offer strategic insights backed by market research and industry experience of similar projects. We can provide valuable input on branding, target audience, and market trends, which a freelancer might not offer. This strategic approach can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your campaigns.
Project Management: Agencies have dedicated project managers who coordinate between different specialists, handle timelines, and ensure smooth communication. This level of organisation helps in managing complex projects efficiently. Freelancers, juggling multiple roles, might find it challenging to provide the same level of project management.

Overall, while freelancers can be a cost-effective solution for smaller, straightforward tasks, creative agencies offer a more robust, scalable, and strategic approach, particularly for larger or more demanding projects.
