We are now piloting a consultancy service and are looking for a spread of different agencies from across the UK to work with. On a trial basis we are offering free support for 4 hours a month for a period of 3 months to fully funded agencies. There will be absolutely no charge to your agency and no requirement that you sign up for a paid-for service at the end of the trial, though we will ask for your feedback.
For the pilot service we are offering support via email only and any documents you want us to review will have to be scanned and emailed to us.
