Marketing matters Communicating the brand Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools available to marketers; because plots and characters are what connect people emotionally to the brand. Zebra has a team of experienced marketing writers that can establish continuity of brand message throughout all marketing channels. We will work with you to identify what literature you need, before working with you to make it happen. Positioning the brand Every company has different requirements, so positioning yours correctly within your area of business is where we can help. This often forms a key part of the PR plan and can include industry awards, sponsorship opportunities, CSR activity and local community work. It is important that you have a structured approach to your marketing and PR – we will work with you to establish what you are trying to achieve and how you aim to get there. When it comes to crisis management, ‘No Comment’ is never an option. But, Zebra is able to work as your press office to respond promptly to press queries.

Quality costs...
Hot off the press
We provide professional, high-quality marketing, communications and PR support at affordable prices. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the service we provide - our pricing is a fair reflection of this.
There is nothing better than putting a face to a name, and the easiest way for us to understand what you are trying to achieve is to meet for an informal discussion.
Our services are tailored to suit, and so too is our pricing scheme. We charge for our time and any additional costs, such as print and design, will be outsourced and quoted for independently. Each project has different objectives and how we achieve these depends on how much of our time is required. So the best way to understand how we can help and how much it will cost, is to simply get in touch for an informal, friendly chat with any one of our team members! We can listen to your needs and respond quickly with a fair and reasonable quote.
If you can say it in 140 characters, why not get in touch by tweeting us @Zebra_Marketing (It’s easy to do, that was only 76 characters!) Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Team Zebra
