Clock Creative are delighted to have achieved an acclaimed industry standard  after being rated one of the top creative consultancies in the country - by our clients.

The achievement comes after extensive independent research was carried out , aimed to help marketing managers in selecting the best marketing agencies to work with.

The Recommended Agency Register (RAR) is a unique consultancy specialising in agency search and selection, matching the needs of businesses with their ideal marketing partners.

 It is based on comprehensive independent research into UK agencies (carried out by MRUK research). The full RAR lists over 200 of the UK’s top marketing agencies across advertising, design, direct marketing, digital, media buying and sales promotion.

 The research for the RAR was conducted in early 2008 and consisted of three aspects - extensive client research undertaken by research company mruk research, a formal information feed from creative industry publisher Carnyx Group and independent qualitative research with selected clients and agencies. Agencies achieving strong results from the research are included in the RAR

A selection of our clients were asked to rate Clock’s performance across five criteria: account handling, creativity, value for money, strategic thinking and overall professionalism.

Clock’s MD, Mark Taylor said:

 “We’re thrilled to have achieved recommended agency status. The standard is well recognised within the industry and beyond.

 “We have always strived to offer excellent levels of customer service and make a real difference to our clients businesses. The fact that this research is based on what our clients have said about us is testament to this.”

Ends.
