We are a team of 40+ creative dogs and we form a formidable pack of creative talent.
We’re delighted to announce that for the fourth year in a row we’ve been ranked one of the UK’s top 100 digital agencies – and top three in Scotland - in the annual Econsultancy report.
We know, there are another 99 agencies that are just as good, but we are better.
We do everything digital marketing, and we do it really well. We have lots of awards to prove it.
With so many touch points for people to interact with brands, from website to social media ad, and the cluttered space within which brands compete for attention, communications is a complex business in today’s world.
This process, honed over many years, enables us to unleash creative thought, remain agile, and push the capabilities of technologies, communication and marketing tools.
Our process underpins everything we do. And we’ve proved that it works time and again. It is flexible, yet robust enough to ensure every project - whether enterprise digital platform or global, multi lingual social media advertising campaign - is delivered efficiently with the best results.
Our approach focuses on our clients, their target audiences and the world they live and work in. We understand that activity based on intelligence is the only way to engineer positive impact.
Everything we do for our clients, whether an iPad app, a marketing campaign, a digital platform, or even a creative film, is driven by a considered strategy and underpinned by detailed research carried out using the latest tools, techniques and analytics.
Our agency takes an agile approach. The way we work ensures efficient project delivery and effective cross team and client collaboration. We use Facetime, Podio, Skype and good old face to face meetings to encourage open communication and transparency at every stage.
Projects are run by commercially aware individuals who think strategically while getting things done. Our client services and project management teams are a rare breed, interested in our clients’ industries, committed to our clients’ business strategies, and dedicated to the successful delivery of projects. Traits that make for great working relationships.
We work in partnership with you to deliver engaging and informative product and service information, always with the aim of nurturing your community to foster brand love, advocacy and loyalty.
Our range of services include everything you’d expect from our expert creatives, so we can look at Brand Identity, Campaign Creative, Customer Experience, and Creative Copywriting. We can also help you with Content Creation, Print Design, Motion Design and using new technology to get the most out of every campaign.
Brand identity
Our branding team can look at every aspect of brand identity. From creating something from scratch, building on what you already have or showing you what the future could look like.
Campaign creative
How you look and what you say in this visual, digital age is vitally important – and an idea is worthless if it doesn’t align with your overall strategy. That’s why all our work is driven by our strategic thinking. And these days, the work we’re asked to do starts long before we’re issued with a brief. We love working closely with you to help clarify your positioning in the market or define the most motivating product messages. And once you know our ideas are on brief, we then apply rigorous creative direction to make sure it stays that way.
Print design
Our team of experts make sure that everything is designed, sized and optimised for print, whether it’s part of a larger campaign, a one-off ad or a trade publication, the attention to detail is the same.
Motion design
A key component in any campaign, our motion design capabilities are second to none. And we can take care of the whole process from capturing content, or adding effects, it’s really up to you.
Creative copywriting
A service that’s never been more important, our creative copywriting services help you land complex messages, get your customers to complete desired actions and communicate your brand to the wider world.
Content creation
It’s been this way for a while now, but content is king. However, gone are the days where any content would do. Our Content Creation team will touch on all aspects of your online and offline presence and help you create content that engages with your audience, imparts information or encourages consumers to hit that ‘buy’ button. Naturally, we believe the key to successful engagement is making the content creative rather than simply going through the process of creating any old output. After all, we’re showing your company off to the world.
Customer experience
When we design your site, we’re not only thinking about how it looks, we start with how it works. Our web design skills begin with making your site 100% functional, wireframing every element to ensure each customer journey is catered for. And after it’s live, our UX and Usability Team use a range of tools to measure and gain insight to ensure your customers are engaging with content in a way that drives them forward – and creates compelling experiences that lead to goal conversions.
Our technologists transform your business and marketing requirements into a working web site or application, created specifically to fit the brief. Then we support you for the long-term, ensuring continued return on your investment.
Whether you're looking for full-stack web development, support with accessibility remediation or page speed optimisation, hosting and infrastructure design and management, quality assurance testing, or long-term care and maintenance of a legacy site, our diverse team of technology experts can recommend and deliver the best solution.
Web site & application development
Dog’s developers and QA team work collaboratively with your team – as well as our designers and project managers – to ensure we’re always on track to meet the goals and vision for the project. We work in agile sprints, iteratively building, testing, and reviewing pieces of functionality. This gives us the ability to pivot if new requirements come to light, or if the goals for the project change. Whether you need a complex logistics platform or a mobile app, we can deliver. After all, the web is a powerful software development platform – so we take advantage of that and create the right solution for your business.
CMS integration
We make it easy to keep your site’s information fresh by integrating content management systems. Our component-based approach gives you the flexibility to build pages with a variety of engaging content presentation options, so your site doesn't look like it follows only one template. Include imagery, videos, and animations easily and enable workflow to control when content is made live.
We can also tie your CMS into various analytics and CRM platforms, so you can acquire valuable data about your visitors and use that to personalise a customer’s experience.
Platforms we specialise in: Umbraco, Sitecore, HubSpot, WordPress
E-commerce
We design and create e-commerce sites to be highly intuitive for your customers and more profitable for you by connecting them to your supply chain and logistics systems. We can help you expand and optimise your marketing efforts by integrating marketing platforms, as well.
Platforms and tools we specialise in: Shopify (including Shopify Plus), Ucommerce, Klevu, Cylindo, Photoslurp
Quality assurance testing
We want as few barriers for your customers, no matter how they’re trying to access your brand, product or services. So that’s why we test, test and test again, so everything just works.
Hosting & infrastructure
There are no pre-packaged solutions here. We design a secure and stable infrastructure to suit the requirements of your web site or application, as well as customer demands and business needs. We can assist with long-term support and maintenance of your environment, as well.
Page speed optimisation
No one notices if a website is fast - but if it's slow, you're in trouble. Google's Core Web Vital scores are based on how your site performs on real devices, and your rankings can suffer if your site doesn't pass muster. Not just that, but your customers and users may abandon using your site or application if it's slow, especially on mobile devices. We can analyse your site's performance and make targeted improvements to bring down those page speeds.
Accessibility audits & remediation
Any digital asset should be accessible to all. So we strive to ensure that any digital touchpoint we create complies with the relevant accessibility guidelines - and we improve it, if it doesn’t. Already know that your site has some accessibility problems? We can conduct an audit and remediation effort to set things right.
We are not the cheapest, but we are the best!
