Lawrence & Pierce | Marketing Visions - this_is

this is / who we are

Lawrence & Pierce is a full-service marketing communications agency, based in the centre of Nottingham, who’ve been operating successfully for over 20 years.

Established here originally to service clients across the country in 1988, we needed to be accessible to achieve our long-term plans. Currently our clients are spread throughout the UK and in mainland Europe.

Our directors have over 50 years’ experience between them. They’re supported by marketeers, designers, writers, PR specialists, production and media professionals with vast experience in strategy, concept creation and delivery.

this is / what we do

Our marketing activities are all carried out in-house: including research, analysis, strategy and market segmentation. Our creative team generate copywriting, PR, media, design and production material. We’re experts in advertising, direct and digital mail communications and new media. Our creative specialities are branding, identity development, marketing collateral and websites.

Our aim is simple: we want to make our clients famous.

this is / unconventional

Paradoxically, we haven’t really marketed ourselves, having obtained much of our work through word-of-mouth or personal recommendation. Working for our clients, who’ve always been our focus, is our main concern.

In a way, we’ve kept ourselves to ourselves. We’ve got the heritage, the clients, the team and the facilities to deliver well-rounded, exciting marketing results for companies in any industry. And we’ve decided to spread the word.

this is / why you should talk to us

Our reputation is first-class and our pedigree is demonstrated by the number of high-profile clients we work with. Resulting from our business understanding and the results we’ve achieved, we’ve amassed clients from many sectors.

Whether you’re from the public or private sector; if you’re a regional, national or international organisation, we’re confident in our ability to meet your requirements.

this is / where we work

Centrally located in Nottingham and easily accessible by road and rail, we’re convenient to clients from across the UK - many of whom have worked with us for years.

We converted our offices from a former warehouse overlooking the Nottingham Canal, and they’re a symbolic link to our commercial heritage.

At the heart of the Midlands, Nottingham has always had key industrial and transport links. Nottingham was located in the Industrial Revolution’s engine room and crucial to that era’s rapid development.

Our premises played their part in that transformation and we like to think we’re continuing where our commercial ancestors left off.

Like our predecessors, we aim to lead the way and be progressive, by creating and developing cutting-edge solutions. We’re innovative too with vast experience in industry and transport.

We understand where we come from and where we’re going. We’re well placed - physically and professionally - to offer a full marketing service.

this is / our philosophy

Differentiation is THE key to marketing and all agencies say they’re special. But, there are only so many times you can claim to be different. It’s difficult and there’s a risk of sounding clichéd, conceited or whacky. We won’t bamboozle you with jargon to impress you.

We understand there are things we know and others we don’t. Our aim is to have a positive impact on your bottom line, not boost our ego. Our ability to keep it real is why we’re successful.

this is / what we're not good at

We’d like to say we’re perfect, but we know it’s not true. When we plan campaigns, we can make life difficult by asking questions and expecting answers. We might ask for feedback and your opinion on routes to market, design or messaging. We may even check you’ve done promotional and sales work. We realise we can be demanding.

But - and this is important - it’s for your benefit. We want our work to have an impact, which means making the most of your experience and opinions. We expect you to have an input and enjoy the challenge of creating memorable marketing. We’ll deliver the concepts and material, but expect you to be committed and use them to maximise opportunities. We want your campaign to work, so can be fairly single-minded.

We know what we’re good at and want to stretch ourselves. The great thing is, the more we ask, the more we learn and the easier our relationships become.

Fortunately, we’ve built relationships with a number of market leaders, who are great clients and keep coming back. So the question is... should you get in touch?

this is / where we are

From our central Nottingham offices we’re able to service our nationwide clients. We’re easy to find and you can get to us quickly from all major cities and industrial areas across the region. We’re located within easy access of a number of major road networks, East Midlands Airport and just round the corner from Nottingham train station.

We plan to remain as accessible as ever to all types and sizes of organisation…

this is / a brief summary

We believe we’re good. But, we would say that - we’re selling our services to you. The question is: what are you looking for?

You’ve seen who we are, how and where we work - and why they’re significant to what we do. We’ve told you we can be demanding and what we’re not good at.

It’s important to draw your attention to these issues, before you appoint a marketing agency. Our honesty is a major factor in our ability to boost businesses.

Would you rather hear how we’d “think outside the box” and “revitalise interest”? Isn’t that patronising? We’re here to communicate with your audience. That’s all. It’s important to be simple, get to the point and be down-to-earth. That’s something we aim for in every job.

Do we have an unusual approach? Possibly.

Isn’t that what you should look for? Definitely.
