Ideas and Imagination

Behind all great design, every campaign theme, and all effective communication there is the BIG idea.

We’re always a step ahead, looking to the future, on the hunt for the next big idea. We imagine the impossible, push boundaries, smash through glass ceilings, and throw the box to one side.

But before we let the idea run away with us, we speak to your audience - to find out where the gap is, what's important to them, what would capture their imagination. We make your marketing work harder, we ensure your campaign steals the show.

Campaigns

If you’ve got something to shout about, we’ve got the means to make people listen. More than that, we create audience experiences that connect with customers in a meaningful and enduring way.

Campaigns ‘the Magpie way’ start with insight, are fuelled by creativity, and result in powerful, memorable conversations.

Whether it’s sending socks to 9000 prospective Leeds Trinity University applicants, creating nosy neighbours to spread brand messages across an out-of-town community, or cycling around a city to promote the opening of a new high street store, we roll out campaigns that are innovative, exciting and relevant to your target audience.

We combine events, digital, film, advertising, social media, and whatever else it might take to ensure that our campaigns deliver big.

Branding

At Magpie, we believe that your brand is your most valuable asset. It is your identity, it distinguishes you from the crowd, and has the power to build an emotional connection with your target audiences. A strong brand builds stronger brand advocates.

We use our experience of working with brands of all sizes to transform the unique qualities of organisations and individuals into something visually compelling and emotionally connected.

We've developed effective brands across a range of sectors: retail, education, health, charities, arts, leisure, property, energy and technology. So whatever you do, we’ll find out what makes you unique, and will make sure your customers – current and prospective – can see it too.

We use insight to develop brand strategies, brand identities, visual style guides, toolkits, and templates to ensure absolute brand integrity.

We help brands to introduce themselves to key audiences by developing intelligent brand activation strategies with a fully integrated marketing approach so your brand is consistent and considered across all possible touch points.
