What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people and hearing about their businesses. We are always inspired by the brilliant work clients are doing with new products, services and ideas and we love hearing all about what makes them and their team tick. After that, we get excited when thinking up ways we can share their stories with potential buyers either through traditional press and newspapers, or at live events and on-line.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We thrive on variety and working on vastly diverse projects - what we learn through working with a range of different businesses helps ensure we're more rounded and can provide a better service. It was the desire to help more businesses and work more collaboratively that first inspired us to set up 12th Man Solutions.
Why should our clients choose you?
When clients choose 12th Man Solutions they're getting the benefit of big brand experience from working on campaigns for Mars, Heineken, Pepsi-Co, Johnson & Johnson and Treasury Wines, combined with the flexibility and personal service that a smaller partner brings. Every client gets to work directly with our senior team, providing solid commercial acumen alongside creativity and a passion to get things done, but with the familiarity and flexibility that makes it feel as though we are a natural extension to your own in-house team.
Event Manangement
End-to-end event management including content development, venue & speaker sourcing and selection, set and AV design, delegate logistics and on-site hosting.
Whatever support you need for your event from ordering the tea and coffee to leaving everything to us we'll be more than happy to help out!
Communications Strategy Development
We help you to define what you need your customers to do and then develop the plan that says the right things, to the right people, at the right time to influence them to act.
Opinion Gathering
Some call it market research, we call it having a chat with people to understand how they really feel about your product or service to help you improve it for them.
Whether it's asking a few of your team about how they'd like to see the business grow, or interviewing senior stakeholders to understand how you meet their needs we can ask the right questions that help you shape the right answers.
Media Relations
We build relationships with the key media stakeholders, influencers and journalists so that your story gets told in the right place, at the right time, in a way that helps you connect with your audience.
If you need the local business community to hear about what you're offering or want to get feature in a targeted trade magazine we can find the right tone, detail and angle to get journalists writing about you and your business.
Copywriting
From a press release, a speaker presentation or a white paper to internal comms and external selling tools there’s not much we haven’t written, edited or proof-read in our time and we’d be happy to help you with a one-off project or as an on-going support service.
If you know what you want to say but are struggling to find the words why not get in touch and see if we can find the right phrases together.
Pictures and Sounds
We know it’s not always about words so if pictures are more your thing we can find the way to bring your story to life through photos, illustrations and videos which create impact and inspire action.
Insight & Evaluation
We know that what's most important to you is how what you say impacts on your audience so we can help you monitor and understand what's being heard and what your buyers are doing. Faced with an increasing mine of information we can help you dig out what's relevant and actioable to make a step-change to your business.
