Photography
Our professional photography ensures that the right messages are being communicated. But it is not just about the photography, our designers ensure that used correctly the photography enhances the work that we do for you.  We have experience of event photography, food photography, people photography and product photography. Great photography ensures that your marketing materials are unique and of the highest quality.

Branding & Logo Design
It's not difficult to create your own logo, but does the impression it generates build your brand and encourage sales? 
Successful branding differentiates your brand from the brands of your competitors. Effective branding helps to ensure that the buyer believe that there is no organisation, product or service quite like yours. Branding is so important in the buyer decision-making process, as it provides a short cut to identifying professional services with high value. The more distinctive the brand,
the less likely a client will accept a substitute; the Mackman Group ensures that your brand messages are effective.

FAQs

Do I have to pay for an initial research, marketing & design meeting?
We do not charge for an initial research, marketing & design meeting unless there is a cost agreed in advance.  We recognise that people do business with people and encourage you to come and meet us for an initial chat to see if there is a connection.

Can I just drop in to see you if I am in Sudbury and passing?
Regrettably all meetings must be booked in advance although we do encourage people to come and see us.  If you do find yourself in Sudbury and haven't booked a meeting in advance why not telephone to see if we can fit you in at short notice.

I have a very limited budget and don’t want to waste your time but don’t know what research, marketing & design will cost, how can I find out?
We are always happy to meet for an informal chat about your needs and will give you an idea of likely costs. Often if your research, marketing & design budget is very limited we can try to find an appropriate solution that will fit your budget.  If you are a start-up, a charity, community group or social enterprise then we will offer you a preferential rate for your research, marketing & design anyway.

I have a clear idea of my research, marketing & design needs but don’t have the time to do it, can you help?
This is a great scenario for us as it means that we get a clear brief and will act as your outsourced research, marketing & design department.  We can do this on either an ongoing retained basis or ad hoc.

Will I have to pay a monthly marketing & design retainer?
Our on-going clients will often elect to pay a monthly marketing & design retainer as this offers them a preferential rate whilst others will pay for their marketing & design on an ad hoc basis based on an hourly rate.  It is entirely up to the client.

Does your research, marketing & design specialise in a particular sector?
Our clients come from a wide variety of sectors but typically they are ambitious, growing, offering a premium product or service and have identified research, marketing & design as an important element of their growth but lack the necessary research, marketing & design knowledge or resources.
