One of the best perks of working with LightUpp is that they have their own production for videography and photography. It’s a big plus for businesses wanting branded marketing videos, adverts, and social media content that’s still consistent with the rest of the material they put out. 

On top of that, we’re glad that they offer outdoor ads with digital campaigns. You can expect billboard advertising alongside paid digital ad services, helping you get physical visibility and online reach—the best of both worlds.

As for coverage, it’s worth noting that they work with tradespeople, restaurants, retailers, automotive businesses, accountants, and commercial firms. This means they adapt marketing strategies to different industries instead of relying on one fixed creative style. 

Now, they’re quite high in demand, so booking a last-minute slot might be a bit tough. Luckily, they’re incredibly responsive, so it’s easy to get a hold of them.

Right off the bat, we love that Cole AD handles both traditional and digital marketing. Their team works across print, outdoor advertising, websites, PPC campaigns, digital marketing, and branded content, helping you reach local and online audiences at the same time.

That said, they know how to support businesses looking to refresh their image or create a stronger brand identity that features creative presentation and design consistency. 

For these materials to reach your market, they’ll implement media buying, which includes outdoor ads, radio, press, and digital campaigns. You can benefit from a broad ad exposure since they understand campaign placement, audience targeting, and media strategy. 

Just note that they don’t have an in-house video production team, so if you want quality film content, you might have to look elsewhere. 

Nonetheless, we’re impressed by their strong track record on brand design and creating visually polished materials for clients. 

Deliver top class creative every time 

“We have been working with Cole AD for a number of years now, they supply creative artwork for our clients for our mobile digial billboards. We have always found Stephen and Michael to be super professional and deliver top class creative everytime.”

What’s neat about Hillside Agency is its extensive experience in arts and culture. They cover festivals, environmental initiatives, libraries, exhibitions, and cultural organisations, which means they know how to navigate through storytelling, public engagement, and creative communication.

Speaking of organisations, it’s great that their services are tailored to both small and established clients. In other words, they can adapt their approach to suit different budgets, team sizes, and project scales—you won’t have to pay premium rates for smaller needs. 

Design-wise, we appreciate their direction, leaning on minimalist, polished, and visually engaging branding and web design work. This is a win if you prefer something professional without looking overly corporate or bland. 

It’s just a bummer that they don’t focus on video production or have a dedicated team for it. But they do offer motion graphics and campaign design.

Lastly, we’re relieved that they don’t throw you into confusion with technical terms when communicating. They use visual tools and jargon-free English discussions throughout projects for better understanding and feedback.  

Professional, creative, and engaging designers 

“Great experience developing our project website with Hillside Agency. Professional, creative and engaging designers and developers who really took the time to understand our requirements and deliver just what we needed. Would definitely recommend working with Alex, Monica and the team!”

Always quick to respond 

“I launched a new Scottish football print magazine in 2016 called Nutmeg and needed a website and online shop. Hillside have worked with us ever since and have been absolutely brilliant to deal with. Always quick to respond to any requests or issues I’ve had, no matter how small. We’ve updated the site and the shop since then and they continue to be a trusted support. Highly recommended”

Firefly Design Agency doesn’t hold back with their creative services, covering branding, digital, print, advertising, and video rather than just sticking to one marketing area. This makes them a smart pick if you’re aiming for a complete creative partner that can manage multiple projects.

Their in-house production allows them to create animation, motion graphics, corporate videos, and video promos, so you won’t have to rely on another provider for cohesive messaging across all media formats. 

Another highlight is their experience in working with clients across multiple countries and industries. If you’re looking to expand internationally or target wider audiences, they’re a dependable partner. 

On the flipside, their availability might feel short since they’re closed from Fridays through Sundays.

But hey, we love that they can deliver what’s expected on schedule. The clients we chatted with were happy about speedy turnaround times, efficient project handling, and regular communication updates. 

Really clever design 

“Fantastic service, would highly recommend. They designed our business logo quickly and completely understood what we do and what we were looking for. Really clever design, thank you!”

Jen Phiz, Google Review

The team have an abundance of creative ideas 

“It has been real pleasure working with the Firefly team to identify opportunities to enhance the brand of our firm. The team have an abundance of creative ideas, provide exceptional quality and their attention to detail is unrivalled. We look forward to continuing to work together!”

Lane Agency is a unique employee-owned agency, wherein the team collectively share responsibility for the company’s long-term success. This setup promotes better ownership of responsibility and a wider pool of skills.

We like how they combine branding, advertising, creative design, media planning, PPC, SEO, and paid social campaigns within one structure. An approach like this results in consistent campaigns where branding, messaging, and media strategy all work together, not disconnected. 

From what we’ve gathered, they also have a knack for creating e-commerce and retail campaigns that consider online shopping behaviour, customer targeting, and digital sales funnels. 

But it’s a shame that they don’t specialise in producing films and photos. You’ll have to look for another agency or hire an additional provider for production. 

The good news is that they know how to create valuable momentum for your branding and media placement thanks to their media buying expertise. Think TV, audio, out-of-home ads, paid search, paid shopping, and programmatic campaigns. 

Outstanding marketing campaign concept 

“Just left the The Lane Agency whose team have delivered an outstanding marketing campaign concept for Face & Body. The culmination of Laners getting to understand our business, our customers and then creating a marketing message that is on brand and targeted to the correct audience. Well done Laners!”
