Select all the audiences you need to reach, then continue.
See what clients needed to change, the work we delivered and what changed as a result. Each story explains the strategy behind the figures.
Thermal performance was a barrier to belief in steel. We built a two-stage launch around Crittall’s new system, combining teaser creative, technical evidence and PR with a landing page that captured demand.
More than 170,000 impressions and 20,000 engagements.
Shelforce’s inclusive employment model gave its King’s Award entry real substance. We developed the entry and coordinated national, regional and trade coverage, including television and radio.
More than 26 pieces of coverage and a television audience of over six million.
Lomax + Wood needed its advertising to reach people looking to buy premium timber windows. We rebuilt the account around search intent, removed irrelevant targeting and refined campaigns throughout the year.
Cost per acquisition down from £269.29 to £68.61.
Towens needed customers to be able to buy online. We connected ecommerce, booking and CRM, supported by branding and search, to create a new revenue channel for the business.
From no online sales to £86K+ in the first six months after the ecommerce launch.
The right arrangement depends on your priorities and the people already in your business. You can bring in Purplex for a particular piece of work or ask us to take responsibility for your marketing over time.
Yes. You can commission a website, launch or campaign with an agreed scope and budget. We’ll look at how it fits your other marketing, but you don’t have to move everything to Purplex for us to work together.
Your team holds knowledge we need, and may already have a strong plan. We can add skills you don’t have in-house, take responsibility for a project or provide extra capacity when the workload grows. We agree the handovers and approvals with your marketing lead.
It’s reasonable to be cautious, particularly if your current agency has worked with you for years. We discuss what you value in that relationship as well as what needs to improve. Existing work, access and knowledge need a considered handover; changing agencies shouldn’t mean starting the business’s marketing from scratch.
Andrew founded Purplex after working in building products and running businesses himself. His experience of customers, staff and delivery still informs our advice: understand the business before recommending where it should invest its time and money.
You know your products and customers. We bring experience of marketing in the same markets and an independent view of what deserves attention. If we think the brief won’t solve the problem, we’ll explain why and work through the options with you.
Our specialists can take on a defined project, add capacity to your marketing team or manage a wider strategy. We agree the responsibilities at the start, so you know who’s doing the work and where your team needs to be involved.
When there are several possible directions for the business, we help you assess the options. Research, positioning and practical advice give you a basis for deciding where to invest and what to do next.
Explore Strategy & InsightOur name comes from Purpose, Plan and Execute. It describes how we approach a brief, from understanding what the business needs to making sure the work happens and learning from the response.
We establish what the business needs from its marketing and whose decision needs to change. That gives us a shared basis for judging whether the investment is worthwhile.
We decide how to reach those people, what they need to understand and which work comes first. The plan sets out the budget and responsibilities, including what we need from your team.
The specialists responsible deliver the work and review its performance with you. We use the results and your customer feedback to decide what to improve, continue or stop.
“Deciding to work with Purplex after being with our previous agency for a considerable period was daunting. But it turned out to be transformational!”
