"We asked Side-on to come up with a professional and eye catching programme for our annual Advance to Work presentation evening which was attended by a wide range of people - trainees, parents, employers, members of the Skills Board and Politicians. Side-on worked to our tight deadlines and within our limited budget to produce what can only be described as a masterpiece! It far exceeded our expectations and captured the spirit of Advance to Work throughout."

"We were keen to find a visual that retained our core values of heritage, tradition and independence, yet moved us forward and encapsulated an innovative and pioneering spirit, which will form the cornerstone of our brand going forward.

Our campaign imagery does all of this and more; we are delighted with the results and Side-on have played an integral part in shaping the branding of Hawksford International. They provided invaluable expertise, assistance and guidance and we can't recommend them highly enough."

"Fizbag grew significantly in the two years following its launch into new markets and more diverse products and we knew that a complete re-brand was necessary to move forward.

Side-on was recommended to us due to their skill and experience in brand management and development.

From our first meetings with the Side-on team we knew that we had made the right decision, they fully understood our market, the products and the work necessary to propel us into an international company.

Side-on have designed our trade show display stand, point of sale units, wholesale brochures, website and external communication documents. We launched our new look at several trade shows over the last 5 months and we are already getting a fantastic response from new and current customers, agents and exhibition organisers.

We would thoroughly recommend Side-on to any Company that needs a thorough brand development.

Side-on’s professional, energetic, creative approach to Fizbag has been the driving force behind establishing us as a global business.

At the Autumn Fair at the NEC a few weeks ago we had the best show we have ever had, we paid for the trade show by midday on the first day! At some stages there were 3 of us taking orders at the same time. Very exciting!"

"The last twelve months have been extremely busy for the marketing department at Durrell and we are delighted to have had the continued support and expertise of an organisation like Side-on in order to deliver what has been needed throughout the 50th anniversary year. The quality of their work has been outstanding and we value the ongoing relationship we have with the team at Side-on."

"Clients need agencies and agencies need clients, but finding that perfect fit, the right chemistry, talent, shared culture and philosophy can often be a long and painful not to mention potentially expensive search. However, whilst it is a challenging and time consuming process to find the right agency, it is worth it as it can make a real difference to your business. At Hassell Blampied Associates, we believe Side-on to be the agency who meets that criteria for our business needs.

Hassell Blampied Associates are a Human Resource Consultancy who represent client organisations in Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and the UK. As a small business, marketing can present significant challenges for us. Limited human and financial resources implicit in being a small business places practical constraints on what marketing activity we carry out. Therefore, we utilise our resources optimally.

We regard Side-on as an integral part of our team who work in partnership with us, continually demonstrating fresh ideas, quality creative work, energy, enthusiasm and passion. They have an inherent understanding of the unique challenges we face along with extensive knowledge of our marketplace and provide us with excellent strategic and creative support; they are extremely creative commercially, not just in terms of design but also innovative marketing solutions. The team at Side-on helped us to rationalise our own internal thought processes by challenging our activities to date. They brought clarity and an extra dimension to our thinking for planning future activities.

Their strengths are their flexibility, knowledge, credibility as specialists, and entrepreneurial spirit. The success of the Side-on team has been built upon their ethos of building long-term relationships with clients, which is reflected in their client retention ratio. What sets them apart from their competitors is that they truly value their relationship with clients, greater than the value of any individual project. In practice this means that they actually take time to understand the culture of the client organisation, interoperate the brief – quite rightly questioning and probing if they are uncertain and ensure deadlines are met and within budget! They are literally at the end of a phone always. Working with them is hugely rewarding, they are a very talented, reliable and friendly team of professionals who even when under pressure produce quality work, and quickly.

We enjoy a successful relationship with Side-on and it is refreshing to work with an agency partner who demonstrates honesty and trust and can balance great ideas with commercial practicalities, they don’t take the relationship for granted and work hard to maintain it, keeping it lively and healthy for sustainability, which is good for our clients and ultimately our business."

"Suggesting that suppliers are integral to a business or even part of the family is a little clichéd days, but the contribution the Side-on make to Funky Puffin is paramount. As a very small business looking to expand rapidly next year with the opening of a restaurant, an activity centre, magazine and an expanding product range, Side-on as custodians of the brand are included right at inception even before business plans are written. The trust we put in them to advise and help us develop our brand lead business is crucial and their contribution is literally the difference between success and failure of the business. They have not let us down in 3 years – shame their coffee making skills leave little to be desired!."

"The Communications Unit engaged Side-on to assist with the construction and execution of an awareness campaign to inform young people and jobseekers of their options following exam results.

 From the onset, the agency demonstrated a professional approach and great enthusiasm for the job. They came up with original ideas and put together a programme of initiatives that reached both young people and their parents.

They worked within the allocated budget and timeframe and provided strong support throughout the campaign.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Side-on to other organisations"

"Jersey Goldsmiths put a number of marketing companies to the test earlier in the year in creating a new look for our 2009 brochure. After discussing our requirements we found the Side-on team were the best for our company. They for one listened to what we wanted to achieve along with putting their artistic minds into action with the results being a clear eye catching message for our market.

Working alongside each other this year has proved very successful for Jersey Goldsmiths in what we all know is a very tough time for tourism. I find the team invigorating to work with and look forward to seeing their ideas come to fruition as we tackle each assignment.

I look forward to us working together this coming year and thank them all for their time, effort and of course patience."
