We're a full advertising agency in Cambridge and Manchester
Clicks is an independent advertising agency. We started in 2016 and we now have offices in Cambridge and Manchester. We plan the strategy, make the creative and buy the media, across TV, radio, podcasts, outdoor, social and search. One team does all of it, so you've got one set of people to talk to and nothing gets lost between suppliers.
How Clicks started
We started Clicks in 2016 because we kept seeing the same problem. Businesses had one agency for the idea, another for the ads and someone else again for the media. Nobody owned the whole thing, and the results suffered for it.
So we built an agency where the strategy, the creative and the media sit in the same room. The people who work out who you need to reach are the same people writing the ads and choosing where they run. That's why we call ourselves a strategy agency and a creative agency as well as an advertising agency. It's all one job to us.
Ten years on we still work that way. We've just added more channels. Google is one of them, but so are TV, radio, podcasts, billboards, digital screens, transport and social. We've managed over £5M of ad spend for our clients in that time.
How we work
We make it for you, not from a template
Every campaign starts with your business and your customers. We write the scripts, design the ads and edit the video and audio ourselves, so it's made for you rather than copied from the last job.
We'll tell you what we think
If we think an idea won't work, we'll say so and tell you why. If something isn't performing, you'll hear it from us first, along with what we're changing.
Strategy and creative go together
A good idea needs to reach the right people, and a good plan needs something worth seeing. We do both, so the plan and the ads are built together from day one.
We measure what matters to you
Before anything goes live we agree what success looks like for you, whether that's leads, sales or more people knowing your name. Then we track it and report it in plain English.
