4CM

4 CM has its roots in a fledgling business I founded in the Spring of 1981.

Although I was then a youthful 24 year old, I had plenty of experience of marketing communications, having been trained in photography and copy writing before working as an Account Manager for other marketing agencies. The company was started as a design agency, offering graphic design, copy writing, photography and production services for all forms of printed material.

On day one, we had a small studio, a desk, a telephone and not much else - certainly no clients and few potential contacts. What we did have was plenty of enthusiasm, some great ideas for promoting our new company and, more importantly, a firm belief that success depended on effective, results-driven marketing activities, not on the ability of an agency to win design awards for clever but, in a commercial sense, ineffective campaigns.

At the time, this was a radical philosophy - to an extent it still is today. Yet, over 25 years later it's a philosophy that remains at the heart of the company - to ensure that all marketing activities produce results that can be measured against agreed objectives; and if this means sacrificing the award winning idea or sexy concept in favour of a pragmatic, cost effective approach that works for our clients, then that's what we'll do.

Today, the company has grown and developed into a mature, successful and enterprising organisation. It is staffed by an outstanding team of marketing, media and design professionals and offers a complete range of marketing services, has its own self-contained offices and a client base that includes some of the world's major companies.

Perhaps as importantly, we still have that same degree of youthful enthusiasm, drive and commitment that was there when we first unlocked our office door on that Spring day in 1981.

The only difference is that now, with a growing team, the degree of enthusiasm, drive and commitment has increased exponentially, enabling us continually to bring a fresh, exhilarating and focused approach to each and every client account.

If you choose to work with 4CM, I believe that you'll find an agency that really gives you the edge in an increasingly competitive world. An agency that you will be able to trust and rely on for all of your marketing communications, now and in the future.
