Profission

Digital

Online & onscreen, design and development

Introduction

The Principals of The Company have been actively involved in the technical and creative side of the sector since it's commercial birth in the 1990s, and have CVs that include senior roles at some of the biggest names in the digital sector from the last fifteen years. As such, the collective experience of The Company covers more than simply the production of websites and bespoke software; usability, accessibility and design can be taken for granted, but experience and an understanding of many types of business on the internet make the difference between a good website and a good business.

Online & Interactive Design

Profission's founding team have produced strong and effective presences for some of the world's foremost leaders in business, entertainment, lifestyle and commerce and see the web as a way for people to experience your product, or organisation. The Company prides itself in its capacity to achieve the very best from the medium for you, and your customers.

From sites for brand and product launches, sites running in a number of countries and languages simultaneously, from informational presences to online applications and management systems, e-commerce and fulfillment solutions, Profission's strength as a team lies in the process; usability auditing, design, build, testing and deployment; the company passionately maintains its impeccable attention to detail using whichever platforms and technologies it believes are best suited to your needs.

Technology & Architecture

With the advent of the cloud and the ever-changing world of co-location, load balancing and distributed architecture, there is often much more to an online project than simply designing and building the site or software. An ever-increasing need for 3rd party integrations, API distributions and geo-locationary services mean that even the best website in the world can fail if it has a poorly designed architecture or it can't keep up with your users. We are no strangers to the world of scalable distributed application architectures - from flat-table asynchronous processing and on-demand server deployments down to load-balanced clusters and data-centre design - so whatever your project may entail we have the experience to design a future-proof architecture that won't let your business down.

Strategy

Consultancy and strategic planning

Introduction

The principals of the company all have respected backgrounds that exceed the experience of the average agency. Collectively they have: raised funding for, and floated, internet businesses; run internet based companies; built and managed some of the most successful online business in the UK and Europe; managed pan-European advertising and marketing strategies; sat on the board of public companies; and built businesses from the ground up, from concept through to logistics.

Approach

We believe that the technical skills required to assist a client do not end with creative and technical ability - if you do not fully understand the sector you are working in, it just isn't possible to do the best job for that client. That's why we even have chartered accountants, FSA regulated consultants and business gurus on the team - it takes more than a brand and a website to make a business a success.

Consultancy

As a rule a certain amount of strategic consultancy is involved in any project - how else can we produce the tools you need? - however we can also provide consultancy and advice on a strategic level, ranging from company structure, advertising, marketing, pr, and financial modelling. We know what's involved to help you move your business forward; whether you need to take your concept from inception to float, or you need to address customer retention, staffing or logistics and financial management, we can help.

Brand

The baseline for all that follows

Introduction

A brand is considerably more than just your company's identity or a logo, which are simply small parts of the bigger picture; we see branding as the space between you and your clients, customers or visitors. Profission can take or enhance your existing brand, or start from scratch, creating an engaging and memorable experience for your customers.

Approach

We take pride in getting personally involved in your brand and helping you define and position the outward face of your business. Our critically acclaimed design team can project your brand both online and through traditional media; through motion and video graphics; through installation and interior design; and through viral or promotional marketing and advertising campaigns. More, we will help you protect and project your own brand as you go forward, as adherence and belief in your own brand are vital.

Print

With inks & paper, foils & finish

Introduction

Contrary to the belief of the naysayers at the turn of the millennium, print is enjoying a renaissance that shows no sign of abating - now more than ever, high quality print design and finishing can make the sort of memorable impact that digital media can never compete with. In a world saturated by point of sale, marketing collateral, direct mail and advertising, it takes more than ever before to make an impression and get your message across, whether it's a simple business card, a brochure, your pos or your report & accounts.

Approach

We regularly win awards for our print work, and we're proud of the quality of our work. So often overlooked, the quality of finish and choice of materials is vital to support the design - at it's simplest level, everyone knows what a cheap business card feels like, and that's the impression that it leaves - cheap, regardless of design. We work with a quality approved panel of suppliers, including specialist printers, card and paper manufacturers and hand finishers, so whatever impression your collateral needs to make, we can manage all elements of the process for you.
