    WITH MORE COUNTRIES, MORE CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION,
    MORE MEDIA, AND MORE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS,
    COMPANIES ARE WAGING A BATTLE WITH COMPLEXITY.
  • With unprecedented fragmentation, unrelenting competitiveness and quick-to-market strategies every marketing dollar needs to work harder, work faster and return even more than ever before.

"We need to reinvent the way we market to consumers. We need a new model. It does not exist. No one else has one yet. But we need to get going now."

G. Lafey Chairman/CEO of Proctor & Gamble
  • At Brave, we are a nimble, flexible, media agnostic, independent communications agency. Our philosophy:Be in love with the questions and the answers will follow.
    We don't have all the answers. No one does - but through rigorous data collected from our wide range of case studies and by focusing on ongoing, real-time listening, testing and continual refinement we can achieve the best results possible. Set and forget? Not in today's world. Meme today, gone tomorrow.
  • How do we add value at Brave? The experienced carpenter will always 'measure twice - cut once'. As our work shows by doing the hard work up front, really understanding the market and the opportunity, we will discover insights that really resonate - simply thinking harder and smarter - we do a lot more with a lot less.
    We believe agencies, companies and brands need to talk less and listen more. Our aim is to move your brand from just talking, to being talked about. That's when the real added value kicks in.
  • Being a boutique independent agency allow us to provide better value because we don't have to return profits to an overseas head office. We can be more cost effective by giving clients full access to highly skilled senior people who can make a real difference to their business. To be cost competitive we don't push you down to juniors. With Brave you are getting hands on experience with out paying for high overheads.
  • Cookies and Cream.  Fred and Ginger.  Some things are just better together.
    At Brave, we feel this way about communications planning and creative development. Storytelling is as much to do with the medium as it is about the message itself. We offer a holistic solution to clients who believe, like us, that the development of an effective communications idea is the rich fusion of interdependent marketing disciplines. This is why we offer media and creative under one roof. One team. One vision. One fully crafted solution.
"To a person with a hammer,
every problem is a nail."
To misquote MASLOW
At Brave we have a proven track record with expertise developed across a truly diverse skill set. This allows us to create smart, brave, bespoke, big ideas that help our clients navigate through the ever-changing mediascape.
