Flanker Media

Flanker Media is an advertising agency set up for local small businesses rather than large brands. It takes on the marketing, advertising and social media work an owner would otherwise juggle alongside sales, staff and admin, and it aims for simple, authentic creative ideas. The name refers to seizing an opportunity or holding an advantage.

What Flanker Media does

• Media planning and buying: placing campaigns on TV and radio and choosing where a client's message should run.
• Social and digital advertising: campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Reddit and Pinterest, plus pay-per-click and online video.
• Creative production: copywriting, storyboards and video production, with the client approving each stage.
• Drone photography: licensed aerial photography.
• Reporting: regular reports on what is working and where to improve.

Who it works with

It focuses on local small and medium-sized businesses, especially newer firms whose owners cover several roles themselves.
