PITCH&CO is a ‘Hidden Gem’

'Over the last twelve months emphasis has fallen on the key centres of industry throughout the UK. The Drum magazine looked to identify the most creative city, as the debate continued over the vitality of the creative industries outside the M25. As hard times fell on the industry it was argued that perhaps it was those based outside London that were best placed to capitalise in the downturn, offering lower overheads but maintaining a high quality service. The Drum hits the road to discover some of the UK’s Marketing Gems.'
The Drum January 2010

The Drum chose to interview PITCH&CO as part of this article, featured two pieces of work and quoted managing partner Louise Muir.

"We positioned ourselves as having big agency ideas, small agency prices when we first opened up for business, offering all the skills you’d expect to find in a large city based agency but at a fraction of the cost.” said Muir. "The biggest challenge we face is getting larger clients to understand that paying city rates is not always the most cost efficient route to getting great work, whilst convincing smaller clients that they can still afford you."

The Drum chose to highlight the branding kit that PITCH&CO analyzed, wrote, designed and produced for FASLODEX a global oncology drug produced by AstraZeneca as well as a piece of direct mail for dental practice management consultants, The Dentistry Business.
