25 years of marketing communications
4 Creative Marketing was originally founded as Brooks Gould Associates in 1981, offering graphic design, photographic and copywriting services.
Within two years we had moved into our first office and studio in a converted stable block in what had once been part of the Rothschild manor, Mentmore Towers, in the small village of Mentmore.
Our offices were in a former grain store, which still retained beneath the floorboards many years of grain husks - excellent for insulation in the winter months but also conducive to the occasional invasion of field mice!
By the early nineties, we had built a robust B2B marketing agency, successfully weathered two major UK recessions and developed an integrated and proven range of services that worked effectively for client organisations of all sizes.
Continued growth meant a move to new offices in Tring, Hertfordshire in 1993. Although not as full of character as our old offices they nevertheless had a charm of their own, being based in what had once been a substantial coaching inn, the George Hotel; this subsequently became a pub before closing in the nineteen seventies.
Our offices were on the ground floor in the old bar area and included ornate carved timber fireplaces and an oak panelled meeting room, with Victorian moulded plaster cornices and a massive cut glass chandelier!
We traded from George House until 1996, when continued expansion, plus the need once again for dedicated studio space, demanded that we look for larger, more modern premises.
