Creativity meets commercialism – Our ethos is shaped by a strong creative instinct and straightforward commercial thinking. By bringing these attributes to every professional collaboration, we get straight to the point for our clients; simplifying the creative processes and immediately recognising significant cost efficiencies.
Fully-integrated service – Photolink has evolved from purely photographic roots to become a fully-integrated creative agency with dedicated, integrated departments specialising in all creative disciplines. We now offer clients everything together under one roof, end-to-end solutions, the whole nine yards, the full service. We are a creative machine that turns problems into to creative solutions for multichannel retailers.
Talented and dedicated – Our unique make-up of talented and dedicated people – doing jobs they love – enables us to constantly rise to any creative or logistical challenge and deliver tailor-made services unmatched by our competitors. People, not technology, drive us forward, which gives us an unbeatable dynamic as a company.
No salesman, no nonsense – Together we are creative thinkers, strategic planners, copywriters, graphic designers, typographers, brand managers, artworkers, photographers, fashion stylists, producers, developers, marketers, accountants, account managers with not a salesman in sight. This means you get to talk directly to the people who actually know and do the work.
Retailers with vision – Our clients rely on us to constantly adapt to their markets and embrace new technologies in order to deliver tailor-made services that strengthen their business. We never let them down. This ability to deliver time after time has made us the creative agency of choice for some of the UK’s biggest retail brands.
Join them, visit us – It may cost a few precious hours to visit us, but we can assure you it will be time well spent. Not only is it a great opportunity to take a tour of our working environment and meet the people you would be working with but to experience first-hand the diverse range of disciplines specialise in and see what we could do for you.
Established 1977 – We have creative DNA. We were founded by fashion photographer David Walter in 1977, and have evolved from purely photographic foundations into a multi-disciplinary agency. We now specialise in catalogue design and production, digital and creative print marketing, website design and development, and retail-industry specific creative direction and brand consultancy.
Independently owned – Complete independence gives us the autonomy to make big decisions quickly and build lasting relationships with whoever we want. As we’re not beholden to shareholders or a panel of investors, we provide clients with transparent answers and immediate solutions, undelayed by a lengthy decision-making process or driven purely by profit.
Fail-safe – Dealing with hundreds of clothing samples, thousands of images and page layouts, huge amounts of written and recorded content requires meticulous management and organisation. This in turn requires extremely robust and efficient systems. Our clients rest assured that our systems are just this, allowing constant visibility, providing cutting-edge security and ensuring a guaranteed delivery.
Future proof – Continual research, testing and investment in the latest technology not only makes us a stronger and more efficient company, it allows us to show our clients new and more cost effective ways of working. Reducing time scales and removing geographical barriers with remote approval and secure online access also means that we work successfully with international businesses and individuals, wherever they are in the world.
