Go further. Faster. That's our goal. And it works for our clients because in today's world, everyone wants faster results, a quicker ROI and someone to respond to their need... now! And that's fair... because meeting these expectations is what delivers accelerated outcomes. And our commitment to doing just that is why Accelerate is a successful, trusted partner and a valued extension of our clients marketing team ... we value the fact that, when our clients look good, we look good. Who does this work for? Well practically anyone, but specifically our sweet spot is in two main areas... 1. Challenger brands that have to fight hard for market share and look for innovation, fresh creative strategy and fast execution. We apply great creative thinking to the message, the media, the content and the customer journey to execute an integrated story that takes the fight for marketshare to a while new level. 2. Global brands that are wrapped into global agency arrangements ... a structure that leaves them battling for fair turnaround; constantly fighting exorbitant rates; and being regularly frustrated by inexperienced account service and force fitted creative. At Accelerate, we take away the pain... we go further. Faster! Background Accelerate Creative Strategies is the evolution of Synchromesh, an agency that was initially launched in 1995 and was focused upon delivering great creative and superior service. As it became apparent that the world was moving at an increasingly more frenetic pace, it also became clear that there was a need for a different agency model. Accelerate emerged and our name reflects our view on life and our commitment to our clients... go further. Faster! At our foundation, we deliver three core offerings directed at delivering accelerated ROI – - Marketing services dealing with creative strategy, media and content with implementation across brand, retail, promotional, B2B, B2C and channel. - Creative integration – it’s no longer possible to apply creative only to words and pictures. We build campaign stories that stimulate change at every stage of the customer journey. This means that, irrespective of the medium, at every touchpoint, the brand/retail/campaign story is consistent and fresh. We call it ‘creative layering’ and it touches non-digital and digital media in all its forms. - Accelerated business development (market growth strategies including capital raising) Whilst each of the first two streams of our business will be apparent to many, the latter operates on 3 levels – (1) undertaking a vigorous review of the existing business model/strategy to successfully capitalise upon market needs (2) structuring the business case to secure capital to facilitate accelerated growth (capital acquisition may be through introduction to venture capital contacts/partners or Accelerate taking an equity stake in the client business) (3) partnering with clients to manage operational activities necessary to create business acceleration. Our existing clients are local and global brands operating in a range of industries including automotive, property, financial services, technology, education, retail, franchising and these include emerging on-line businesses.
