“The advertising has certainly generated a lot of interest in the MEND and mini-MEND programmes. I was the only one of the team in the office on Friday, and I didn’t stop answering the phone all day!”

“We initially got in touch with Perception to develop a brand around our new well-being service. Perception dealt with this request very enthusiastically and professionally. We were very soon presented with seven brands ideas from which Vitality was selected.

Our second objective was to market our smoking cessation service under the new branding of Vitality. Due to being so impressed with Perception’s work we asked them device a marketing plan for all design work and media buying. In our six months relationship Perception have also designed all of our adverts, created leaflets, booklets, business cards and stationary as well as carrying out telemarketing on our behalf.

The marketing of Vitality by Perception has lead to an increase in the number of people accessing our services. In addition to this in a very short span of time our brand recognition is quite high. This is a great result for us especially since Vitality was only launched in March 2008.”

“As a charity the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust is constantly looking for new ways to fundraise to help keep the Air Ambulance flying. It is crucial that we communicate the right message for both of our brands, Essex Air Ambulance and Herts Air Ambulance.

“Design is of utmost importance to us as Architects, and Perception understood exactly what we were after. We wanted a corporate brochure to celebrate our company’s ten successful years. Perception excelled at my brief with exceptional photography, copywriting, and tight design. They co-ordinated everything – the print too. I am delighted with the result.”
Peter Emptage, Managing Director

Claire Layton, Business Link Essex

 

“I have worked with Perception Advertising for many years and I have found their preparation for work going to print excellent and the groundwork that is done before is very professional and an example to all design agencies. It is so common to have work given to you by a design company that has only looked at a project from their point and not even considered if it is cost efficient or practical to produce, with Perception Advertising I have full confidence in their abilities to produce a top class design that is both well designed and easy to produce because they will always ask for an opinion from the print company if they were not sure. If I was to recommend an agency to anyone who wanted to re-brand or produce new designs I would have no hesitation in putting Perception Advertising in the frame.”
Ian Chance, Blackhammer

 

“We have been working with Perception for the past year or so. We have just closed a massive deal, the best ever, for 40 units. I guess I should thank perception for the great literature they have produced that I am sure has been instrumental in us getting this order.”

Perception have enabled Vitality to expand rapidly, reaching our target audience and improving health and well being right across south west Essex!”

“A charity requiring events and fundraising campaigns to raise much needed funds to keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives. One new fundraising event, introduced in 2009, was the Colne Valley Cycle Ride which attracted just over 70 cyclists in its first year. However, we needed to grow the event in year two and by working with the team at Perception Advertising we developed a marketing strategy which has seen the event double in size in 2010 with 170 riders taking part and generating nearly £8000 for the Charity. We are now looking forward to working with Perception to look at new ways to grow the event in 2011 – their creative approach is always refreshing but more importantly it delivers results!”
Pam Withrington, Head of Marketing and Fundraising
Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust

 

“I’ve just had the latest call figures for Vitality sent to me. I thought you might like to know that compared to the start of the campaign, we have had a 412% increase in calls to the service! Smoking cessation is a game of numbers to some extent – the more people we can get through the service, the more quitters we achieve, and this figure in terms of call increase is phenomenal! We also found out last week that we had the highest rate of four week quitters in the East of England region, and by a large margin. I believe the work that you and Perception did in terms of marketing was key in helping us achieve this.”
Ian Wake, Associate Director of Public Health

They demonstrate keen attention to detail and focus on delivering true value to clients.”
Tony Pelham, Account Director, Global Radio

 

“I have always admired Perception’s skills. Somehow, they manage to take a complex proposition and turn it into something that’s easy to grasp, wonderfully engaging and above all, influential. I have worked directly with Perception on many projects. In all cases, it’s all been first-class stuff and in a nutshell; they will work hard for you and exceed your expectations. What more could you ask for?”
John Calvert, Director Airforce

 

“The effect of combining art direction and photography to create an innovative image, or to turn a seemingly boring business shot into a brilliant, creative one, must never be underestimated! Perception manages to bring everything to life through cleverly constructed ideas. Even the simplest photograph is considered from both an aesthetic viewpoint and the ability to correctly represent its core purpose.”
