Brand story

With nearly 30 years of agency experience, PSE partners with you to connect your growing brand with the right individuals. We harness data in ways that no one else does to create bespoke campaigns and target with precision. We partner with you for the long term, testing, learning, reporting and improving as we go.

We are proud to have worked with brands from a wide range of sectors but you could say our heartland is our work with retailers, including our growing list of subscription businesses.

We’re proud to be a family-run business, and our brand partners become an extension of our family, without the squabbles. We love what we do, helping you surpass your growth ambitions, and it shows from the minute you walk through the door. We call a spade a spade and hold our hands up when we don’t get something quite right. That’s why almost 90% of our clients come back and work with us again. Feel free to chat to them or read what they have to say here. We’d love to talk and see what we can do for you too.

Our Values

Partnership Process

It’s easy to tell you about partnership through our website, but from the minute you walk into PSE, it’s something you see all around you. PSE is a family business to the core, 2 brothers and a team who all enjoy working together. Our client relationships are a simple extension of that, with the support, respect, time, understanding, banter and laughs that are needed to make work enjoyable.

Our ideal clients see us as true partners and are open and upfront from day one with their dreams, goals, information, and databases.

If we’re going to do the best marketing job for you as possible, there shouldn’t be any surprises down the line. We take the time to conduct post campaign analysis for our clients in which we review what’s been achieved, successes, areas of improvement and next steps.

We can always do that little bit better, and we’ll always work towards it, but if we’ve got something wrong, we hold our hands up, knowing that next time we’ll have learned and will get it right.

I co-founded PSE in 1995 having been a salesman since the age of 17. I love seeing the team flourish and big client wins, it’s still the thrill of the sale that really excites me. My passions include playing and watching sport, music, pubs and spending time with my family.

Working for PSE

PSE started all the way back in 1995 as a family business and have never lost those core ideals. Even though PSE has grown to have two offices, each new team member becomes part of the PSE family. We know that sounds like a cliché, but at our core, our values are still those of a family business.

Our team make PSE what it is, and we believe in our team and will always actively encourage and support further education or training to better help people perform their job and realise their full potential.

PSE is committed to creating a friendly, safe and healthy working environment for all our staff. And strive for a workplace built on trust and mutual respect where each and every single person is working towards one goal.

Our goal of helping clients find, win, keep & grow highly profitable customers.​
