WAES have had a fantastic response to the Facebook and Google remarketing campaigns (really, really good)! The campaign was a huge success achieving 3,000 clicks and 7 million Facebook impressions and 300,000 Google remarketing impressions across a six week period. I’m sure we’ll work with you again for this in the future!

What clients say
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 Perception did in terms of marketing was key in helping us achieve this.
Associate Director of Public Health, NHS
I've had the pleasure of dealing with Perception on many occasions over the years. I'm always struck by their professionalism and overall creative approach which consistenly illustrates their keen understanding of client strategy and objectives.
Marketing Manager - Countryside Properties
It's been a pleasure working with Perception over the past three years. They display a passion for design and an insight to the furniture industry. Perception have helped us gain new commercial contracts, and much of their input has been developing a successful online retail marketing strategy which continues to produce good results.
Managing Director, Vitrapoint
Since launching Waterhouse Volvo with Perception’s help we have seen a steady increase in footfall to our Chelmsford showroom, whilst attracting increasing numbers of online visitors. A combination of Waterhouse’s superb and diligent service, and Perception’s traditional and online marketing campaigns, are major contributing factors to slow but steady growth in these highly competitive times.
Sales Manager, Waterhouse Volvo
Perception were amazing from start to finish, helping us achieve our target of over 400 members for our new fitness product through a polished and well-executed digital campaign.
Marketing Manager, The Cyclopark Trust
We were very impressed with the brand design created for us some years ago by Perception. It was very cleverly designed in order to incorporate the Company’s initials into what has become a very recognisable logo around the City. It has certainly withstood the test of time!
Senior Partner, Edmund Carr
To sum up Perception in one word is easy - brilliant! We have always been highly regarded as their client, with the team always approachable, professional and at hand to help and advise. The agency are creative, full of energy and fun to work with! I would highly recommend them to others.
Marketing and Communications Manager, Palmers College
Perception's strategic approach to marketing our company was noted from the start. They have the ability to be creative while always remembering the technical and conservative nature of our engineering industry.
Marketing Manager, M.J. Quinn
The new corporate brand and associated literature items has been an inspiration to the organisation and refreshed company thinking. Existing clients have on the whole embraced the new look and there has been an increase in new business.
Finance Director, Hill & Abbott Solicitors
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!
Team Leader, NHS Change4Life
