This really isn't 'just another agency' – see for yourself...
We understand the issues and think strategically
to help you counter them
We have been living and breathing UK HE and FE for over 20 years. We have watched the sector change and develop understand the marketing challenges between research led institutions and vocationally led centres and what that means to the students. We’ve conducted research and we have our own opinions on how to help our clients project their messages from these findings. We aren’t too close to the issues either, we also have a strong track record working strategically with leading commercial, B2B and Public Sector brands. This keeps us fresh and objective for you.
We have award winning experience waiting
to go to work for you
Our creative team are second to none. They have the experience of working with over 30 University or `College institutions, winning two Heist Gold awards and countless merits en route. We love working on the detail of a course entry in a prospectus just as much as the concept for an entire recruitment campaign experience. The enthusiasm to produce great creative never stops – we’ve worked over weekends from a Friday night brief for Monday delivery of a campaign – or over weeks to create award winning prospectuses.
We work online and offline
We are completely media neutral. Whatever the tactic – we have provided fully integrated campaign thinking from initial contact through to the website experience and student application. We can provide the complete mix from prospectuses and brochures to Apps and microsites – they all work seamlessly at Aura.
Bespoke systems and customer service
We take customer service and quality control systems very seriously. For over 20 years we’ve been developing and perfecting systems that help our customers to get a perfect project every time – be it print or digitally based. The process starts with transparent quoting through a unique system of milestone scheduling, checking and proofing. Each stage of a project is logical and and clear for our customers to follow on the timelines they want – all but eradicating the dreaded ‘author’s corrections’. The best accolade we could receive for our service levels though, are the customers who come back time and again to Aura’s commitment and desire to excel on every single project.
The bottom line – competitive, transparent pricing
We can all pay through the nose for quality, but at Aura, you don’t. From day one we set about the business of smashing the agency stereotype. Yes you can have award winning creative AND outstanding service AND you can have it at a price that suits your budgets – which these days are under pressure. We are proud to service the whole country from our non city centre offices in the Midlands. By keeping tight on our costs we can help beat our customer’s budget expectations. We quote by the hour (or quarter of!), our studio rate is extremely competitive for creative and production based quoting, our proof sheets allow you to make numerous amendments and changes within the quoted time pool – we dislike Author’s Corrections as much as you. We believe that the Aura way is the best way for our clients – in these times of frozen budgets and cut backs.
So why not let us quote you, and let your University or College and turn our five point difference into your five point advantage?
