A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Well, under a set of stairs in Basingstoke actually, but the Star Wars intro sounds far more impressive.

It's almost 15 years ago...

...since The Escape first opened its doors to the world and said "good morning... The Escape... how can we help you?". It's changed a lot since then but some things remain the same, and in fairness, one thing in particular always will. We believe in results driven marketing and we believe in achieving those results through our 'big ideas'. Sometimes a big idea can actually be quite a small idea, but one with significant impact. Either way, we recognise the need for return on investment, especially in the (coining the phrase of the moment) 'current times'.

So yeah, we can make things look good, but it's how we do it with that little bit of added purpose that sets us apart from the competition. We love pretty pictures as much as the next man (or woman) but they're no good if they're not delivering.

So where does it hurt?

We're guessing you have a current marketing pain or you wouldn't be here right? Would we be right to assume stuff's happening with your marketing, just not as you'd like it? Mmmmmm... we've been here before. Let us guess, you've thrown good money after bad? Your brand or brochure's looking a wee bit tired? Maybe your website's too comfy on the pages of Google no-one sees?

It's a classic case.

Make the pain stop!

Harry Potter used to be an Escapee but we had to let him fly the nest... ahem... sorry! The point we're making (through particularly weak humour) is there's no magic cure for the pain. What we 'will' do is examine, poke around and work with you to get to the root of it. When we've done that, we'll sort out an effective way of fixing the problem, and in such a way that'll please your marketing team, your sales team AND that board of directors you so love to sit in front of every once in a while.

How will we do it? We'll get to understand your business challenges and work with you to formulate a strategy to drive your brand. Then we'll produce something tangible. But don't worry, the proof's in the pudding so we won't expect you to love us until we've added some benefit to your business. Why would you?

This is not the point though where we say cheerio either. We'll continue to deliver great solutions. We'll nurture 'your baby', offer ideas and help you get the most from it. We'll help turn you back into that proud parent that wants to show their baby off in the playground.

Who's the surgeon?

We're a bit like a well-oiled machine. If one of our parts doesnt function, then it doesnt work. That's why our team of designers, web programmers, web marketers, copywriters and project managers are all 'ideas people' and as important as each other when there's a contribution to be made. We work closely as a team and share a common goal... to stop that marketing pain when it hurts. We're the sum of the parts and we wouldn't have it any other way. Just don't come to us for open-heart surgery, we're not actually surgeons.

so, although we've only just met and this is effectively our first date, do you fancy getting together for a coffee?
