introduction
inception
If Covid-19 has proven anything..
...it's what most creative people have known for years - you don't necessarily have to travel and sit in an office to be creative. Technology has shown us that we can still communicate efficiently and effectively in real time without sitting next to one another and still get work done.
If we take this idea forward, strip out the building and the fixed set of employees on its books it also means that we, and more importantly you, are not tied to solely working with the employees of that office or organisation. Now the net of skills and talent suddenly got bigger!
how we work
We are a network of hugely successful creatives co-ordinated by creatives. We know that the people we have in our network are smart enough to talk to you directly and understand exactly what it is you are looking for and build from there. We encourage direct conversations with the creative people working on your business so nothing is "lost in translation"
300strong won't pretend to understand your product more than you do - where we add value is when you are preparing to go to market.
areas of expertise
If we don't know it's highly likely we know someone that does!
We recognise the ever-expanding spectrum of skills required to fully address the modern marketing mix. We have a 'black book' full of the best in the business.
A traditional set up will put forward person A to work on a section of your project. Because we have 'open source' creatives it means we can put forward person A,B,C or D.
Plus, depending on the nature of the business, we can build customisable creative teams that can handover projects from specialism to specialism...
why choose us?
We fundamentally believe that advertising's primary goal is selling stuff!
It sounds really obvious doesn't it? But a like and a click on social media HAS to eventually convert to a sale. Media impressions are still not legal tender although they are good indicators of how popular your message is and that starts with an idea - a good one!
Generating sales through strategically sound, idea-driven creativity is at the core of what we do. We then produce that best in-class creative work in a pragmatic, efficient cost effective manner.
Also, we may not recommend a film or full blown multi-media campaign when a simple event or leaflet will be more effective. We do this because we are 'channel neutral' meaning we will recommend the most appropriate platform for your product's business problem and create from there.
procurement
Rest assured!
All invoices will come from one source. You may well be hiring an army of different skill sets or just a couple of creatives to help out with a simple branding device. You will only be billed by one company: 300strong.
We efficiently handle the administration, invoicing and payment of our partners. We regularly work with procurement teams to develop cost-saving solutions based on agreed scopes and working practices. All we ask is that when you enter an agreement with us you are as transparent with us as we will be with you. If you would like more detail please get in touch.

Founder
Ade has worked in Healthcare as a Creative Director and European Executive Creative Director for over 20 years and is one of the most highly awarded healthcare creatives in Europe. His mantra of 'unexpected relevance' has been key to his success whether he has been charged with coming up with commercial ideas for brands or initiatives on his own or directing teams of creative people across Europe. Healthcare brand managers past and present trust him, his creative judgement and have seen the benefits of working with him on brands big and small.
"I have worked in healthcare for such a long time and have witnessed and indeed, been part of many changes in our industry. Having set up creative departments for most of my life I fully appreciate it takes a village to raise a child. In that respect I understand that the skillsets required to produce best in class creative work are vast and varied. We deal in science fact not science fiction so an innate understanding of the facts we are selling is fundamental to any brands success. The magic happens in the distillation of those facts into a piece of creative. I have a proven track record of making work that works and this is done by commissioning and working alongside smart people who do the things I can't. What I bring to your project is a passion for perfection with all the experience of someone who has worked at London's top healthcare agencies."
