The whole marketing mix

We have a skilled and highly experienced team, enabling us to offer an extensive range of services including:

  • Brand and product strategy

    Brands and products, our team are experienced in helping to create unique, captivating and lasting identities that make a mark. We're not here to impose our views on you; instead, we help you figure out what you want people to see, hear and experience when they interact with you. We help you find your voice and then ensure people hear you when you speak.

  • Product development consultancy

    We've helped to launch some of the most significant products in the industry with everything from the concept, design, look, and we've even named a few babies in our time. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

  • Marketing strategy, planning and implementation

    We can help you create or improve your marketing strategy, help you to plan the best way to make it happen and even implement it if you don't have the resources in-house to do it yourself.

  • Distribution and channel marketing

    Our team understand the global market, they have extensive experience in the complexities of music technology distribution around the world and can help you set up an active channel of distributors and dealers that will get your products promoted and sold.

  • Content creation and copywriting

    In January of 1996, Bill Gates declared "Content is King!" It's been a mantra of marketers since, it's one thing making content, but with so many platforms trying to attract your audience unless the message is right and delivered in a captivating way you may be wasting your time and money. Our team understand what content to create and where to place it to maximise impact and get you the results you need. We have a team of wordsmiths, designers and filmmakers who can put your brand and products front and centre. </br>

  • Social media strategy

    Too many people think social media is the only thing that matters in modern marketing. We disagree. Social is part of a marketing mix and one we understand, we know which platforms to use for your brand and how best to use them. We can help with social media strategy, policy and planning, we can also help train your team.

  • Artist relations

    We've got a black book to die for when it comes to connecting artists with brands. Authenticity and integrity are vital values with all our relationships, if an artist is going to say great things about a product they need to be using the product and believe what they say... we don't pay artists for their work, every endorsement we secure is real.

  • End-to-end video production

    From concept to shoot, edit to grade we have made hundreds of product trailers, artist interviews and tutorials. [Check out our video page][1] to see a tiny selection of our work for some of the leading brands in the music technology industry. Our approach to every project is to start from the ground up, there are no cookie-cutter productions but distinctive videos that make their mark.

Our Strategic Last 10% Doctrine

If you build tools for composers, mix engineers, producers, post facilities, or serious studio operators, you are not selling to casual users. You are selling to professionals whose reputation, time and margin depend on clarity and efficiency.

In these markets, amplification does not create authority. Calibration does.

The Strategic Last 10% is a doctrine for turning strong products into clear, credible offers that professionals trust.

If this resonates, we should talk.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Professional music and post production markets are not consumer markets.

Your audience is experienced. They are sceptical. They are time-poor. They have seen every inflated claim before.

They do not want to be impressed. They want to be understood.

When brands underestimate that, they over-hype, over-explain, and over-promise. The short-term spike feels good. The long-term authority erodes quietly.

This doctrine exists to prevent that drift.

THE DOCTRINE

  • Clarity precedes craft

  • Exclusion sharpens positioning

  • Enter the workflow before the copy

  • Reduce risk before raising excitement

  • Margin is strategy

  • Confusion kills authority

  • Precision earns trust

  • Professionals resist hype

  • If it’s copyable, it’s weak

  • Systems outlast heroes

WHAT “THE LAST 10%” ACTUALLY IS

It is not headline tweaking or launch theatrics.

It is the final calibration that makes a product legible to the right professional, in the context of a real working session.

It is the shift from describing what you built to articulating what it changes in a workflow.

In pro audio and post production, workflow is value.

If you cannot picture your user at 3:47pm in a session with a deadline and a client waiting, you cannot position the product properly.

THE TEN PRINCIPLES, BRIEFLY

  • Clarity precedes craft
    If the category, buyer and problem are unclear, sharper copy only amplifies confusion.

  • Exclusion sharpens positioning
    Trying to be for everyone weakens authority. Define who this is not for.

  • Enter the workflow before the copy
    Positioning starts inside the user’s working day, not in the feature list.

  • Reduce risk before raising excitement
    Professionals buy to avoid wasted time, unstable results and client embarrassment. Deal with that first.

  • Margin is strategy
    Pricing signals seriousness. Structure should protect value and support coherent upgrades.

  • Confusion kills authority
    If a buyer cannot quickly answer “What is this?”, you have already lost ground.

  • Precision earns trust
    Specific claims are believable. Vague language attracts the wrong audience.

  • Professionals resist hype
    Inflated tone reads as insecurity in expert markets.

  • If it’s copyable, it’s weak
    True positioning is defensible. If competitors can lift it, it isn’t strong enough.

  • Systems outlast heroes
    If sharpness relies on one person’s taste, you have a bottleneck. Codify the standards.

WHERE THIS APPLIES

  • Product naming and category definition

  • Product range and portfolio architecture

  • Launch positioning for professional tools

  • Pricing logic, bundles, subscriptions and upgrade paths

  • Website structure for expert buyers

  • Editorial and brand standards for professional audiences

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Founder-led and expert-led brands in professional music and post production

  • Technical teams struggling to articulate real-world value

  • Companies whose product range has grown harder to explain

  • Brands that want long-term authority, not short-term noise

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

  • Mass consumer apps

  • Trend-driven hype launches

  • Teams looking for growth hacks

HOW WE WORK

We work at the strategic layer: positioning, portfolio logic, messaging architecture and the standards that keep it consistent.

That typically produces:

  • A clear positioning thesis

  • A simplified product and range narrative

  • A defensible messaging hierarchy

  • A written standards framework your team can execute without constant intervention

If you need someone to “do the marketing,” We are not for you.

If you need someone to ensure your marketing respects professional buyers and protects long-term authority, we should talk.

WORK WITH US

If you are launching something important, restructuring a product range, or sensing that your message has drifted from how professionals actually work, send a short note outlining:

  • What you sell

  • Who it’s for

  • Where the message feels unclear

  • What decision you are trying to make

If it’s aligned, we’ll set up a call.
