Creative design Agency - Creative agency process improvement delivers 150% net profit improvement
Background
The client was a privately owned, award winning Creative design agency grown from a start up to £5m turnover over 6 years. Working with demanding Global brands and premium retailers required a robust review of the business operating systems to develop the management team, drive consistency and excellence in performance and release the founders from day-to-day operations to focus on the next phase of growth.
A Strategic review and business improvement programme was launched, covering all areas of the business, focussed on Customer satisfaction improvement through the definition and standardisation of best practice, embed continuous improvement review and develop the Leadership Team to prepare the business for growth.
