Nobody knows your business better than you...

The Image Works was established to put some integrity back into the marketing services industry. We don't do clichés and we don't provide superficial solutions.

We will never tell any professional, in any industry, that we know their business better than they do - we don't. What we can offer is a fresh pair of eyes, over 30 years marketing experience and an award-winning team of creatives supported by industry-leading technology.

We have the skills to introduce a successful cross-platform marketing communication strategy. We have clients who chose The Image Works marketing agency to help them grow... some now have several hundred million pound turnovers.

We are a marketing company with a difference

Image is almost as vital as reputation - and you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. When a first impression is 'everything', it must say everything you want to say and reflect everything you are. Most of all, it must grab the attention and not let go.

The Image Works is a fully integrated marketing agency, which simply means that all our departments work together. We are, in effect, a one-stop-shop for all your marketing needs. Operating from purpose-built facilities in Lancashire, we provide design, PR, direct mail, advertising, printing, new media, photography and exhibition and display services to a nationwide client base.

We have the results to prove our campaigns work, just ask any one of our clients. Our 'one-stop' service keeps your costs down, puts you in control and improves efficiency. That's why we have retained clients for over 20 years

How do we differ from practically every other company you might consider?
Very simply, our business model is built around the concept that busy clients don't want the problems associated with dealing with many different support organisations: advertising agencies, web designers, graphic design agencies, PR companies, exhibition organisations and direct mail suppliers - at The Image Works we do it all.

Each project has an account manager, customer service team, one invoice address and no external mark ups.
