What we can help with

Here are some of the marketing problems we know how to solve: 

  • We know how to help people relate to and understand new technologies like AI so that “the extraordinary feels ordinary”.  We were the team who drove widespread adoption of the Google Search app and the Google Assistant.

  • Building meaning and emotion into a new product or a brand idea is something we did repeatedly at Google. We helped to humanise Google Search and Maps in the UK, Germany and France through film, activations, product marketing and partnerships.

  • Helping people discover the everyday utility of new products and features starts with deep user insights. When we launched the Google Assistant on mobile, we used data science to identify strong use cases and then brought these to life through contextual ads that created high levels of engagement.

  • Building scalable marketing strategies that deliver growth needs an integrated go to market strategy that’s different and measurable. We’ve done everything from doubling B2B revenue for Google Workspace through to bringing millions of new people to use Google Search in new markets.

  • Landing your brand in a new market with authenticity means rethinking how you communicate. We were the marketing leads who found the right ways to translate Google Search into the culture of Sub-Saharan Africa and expanded Google’s Cloud business globally.

  • Driving adoption and revenue growth with B2B products involves connecting how people ‘feel’ about a brand alongside the functional benefits. We have worked across a wide range of categories where we’ve injected emotion into highly functional products like Google Docs.
