About Us
Just another creative agency?
Surely a design agency is a design agency and a web agency is a web agency.
We don't think so, but I'd guess every agency would say the same.
The thing is, we are a big believer in results driven marketing. We have to be - we run a small business ourselves and need business results from our own marketing, perhaps like you?
Our angle
We immerse ourselves in our own industry and where that is going (especially online and web services). We also have people who study business marketing. We can't know about every industry up-front, but we apply ourselves to learning our clients' industries and business 'trading' in general.
For instance, we understand that our competition is no longer just the design agency around the corner, but maybe a web agency in Delhi, or a freelance designer in Croatia or someones nephew who has just finished college.
That's why we like to give our creative solutions extra depth with a strategic methodology behind them so that you know your budget is being well spent.
Ambition
We love it when a client is aspirational in the way they approach their business - we can relate. Our style fits entrepreneurial companies because we are one too.
The Escape is a small business and we're looking to grow. We innovate, we adapt, and we're not scared to put our money where our mouth is.
A little bit of Escape history
Craig Killick and Robert Jones started The Escape Design Co. under Craig's staircase in 1998, at his home in Basingstoke, Hampshire, when they 'escaped' together from a design agency they were working at.
The Company has grown organically and through acquisition with the purchase of True Colours Design Agency in 2004.
2007-2008 sees us with 15 members of staff and a turnover of £1.2 million.
