The business I founded in 1998 through the acquisition of an established graphic design agency is now run by a leadership team that successfully completed an MBO in 2016 - I am proud to chair the agency and provide strategic planning services to selected clients.For thirty-five years, Delineo has adapted to change – successfully navigating eight general elections, three recessions and one EU referendum. By continually identifying and embracing new trends, its become an innovation agency resolutely committed to improving effectiveness.Whilst the spirit of the agency is unchanged, the evolution is astounding. Originally a photography business, Delineo became well-known for typesetting in the days of physical artwork. Design dominated the agenda in the nineties, when Delineo operated as a boutique graphic design agency. The next decade kicked-off with its first client website and concluded with full-service agency success – changing the campaign mix from 100% print to primarily digital delivery. Since then, Delineo has honed its skills and specialised further. Today, the agency is highly evolved and totally focused on a unique Define/Deliver approach that helps client to stay ahead at a time of dramatic change by improving brand and response performance.Of all the lessons learnt through its history, the ability to embrace change at pace is the most powerful. That’s why there’s strong demand for Delineo’s Sprint-based ways of working and simple two-tier ratecard. The agency has a simple message to businesses in its specialist sectors –innovation won’t just improve your marketing effectiveness, it’s the only way to ensure you don’t get left behind
