At Bright Butler, we like to think we offer a better way of working. We create a team around the scope of each project, which means you only pay for the services you really need.
We’re proud to have built a core creative team – ‘the regulars’ – that we can turn to in an instant, combined with a wider network of brilliant freelancers that we know and trust. The result? We can quickly scale to deliver the expertise you need, whenever you need it.
When you work with us, we’ll assign a dedicated project manager as your main point of contact. They’ll take the time to get to know your business; to understand your challenges and identify those opportunities. They’ll ask about the requirements of the project and what you want to achieve. Then they’ll relay this to the wider team.
Next up, our hand-picked creative team will get to work, weaving their magic and putting their enviable skills to good use. They’ve been around long enough to know what will work and what won’t. And they’ll never waste time on things that won’t add real value for your business.
Your project manager, along with creative support where necessary, will present a variety of ideas to you. And once we’ve found an approach that excites you, we’ll crack on with getting the job done.
It’s a tried and tested collaborative approach that works for us. And crucially, it works brilliantly for our clients too. That’s how we’ve built longstanding relationships with so many of them over the years.
