What do you love most about your job?
It is great to learn about prospective or new clients, their products and services and what makes them both tick and successful. Our Brand Discovery workshop and report, thoroughly teases out all of this information, including the unique elements that differentiate a company or organisation from its competition. We love helping our clients to fly higher and achieve results. We also love working with people, both those in our clients and on the Calibre crew.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What started as an idea on two sheets of A4 paper, when Martyn woke up in the middle of the night, some three or four months before being made redundant from his last full-time position, is now over 20 years later, a successful outsourced marketing and communications agency with a coterie of high profile clients and a quality crew, all working hard to take our customers to new heights.
The early morning handwritten notes included how the company would be established, that it would offer consultancy and outsourced marketing services, the name of the company, which derives from the hot air balloon flown by Martyn and his father at the time, and even a list of potential associate providers of services, such as website and graphic design, and even potential clients. One or two of those are actually still customers today and many of our clients have been with us for 10 years plus.
Calibre took off with two major clients, a supplier to Nobo, one of Martyn’s previous employers, who immediately requested a meeting and came to an arrangement, plus a property company, which would have been an early forerunner to Rightmove, had the conditions at the time been sufficiently suitable.
Why should our clients choose you?
Calibre can really help you take off. Whether you need a fully managed marketing plan and outsourced programme, a marketing communications campaign, assistance with a particular marketing project, or you just need some advice and assistance to help you soar to new heights.
Working as your outsourced marketing department or agency, our enthusiasm and commitment will bring a dynamic element to your marketing as we introduce you to the latest strategies and tactics that have been tested successfully within other market sectors and for other clients.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, for sure. Whilst we typically meet with our clients for a marketing meeting once a month, this is increasingly online using a video conference call. Indeed, we have worked with clients in different parts of the country for several years and not actually met them (usually despite having offered to journey to see them!). As an integral part of our client’s team, providing the marketing or marketing communications function, we are always in regular communication and available, usually by email and we are always only a phone call away.
