Ok, let's get straight to the point, we know you don't have hours to spare. Time is most precious. We're a marketing services agency that combines years of experience with youthful zest. Marketing (and all its glorious intricacies) is our love, our life, our passion and our bread and butter.
Please take a look around our site. If you think we sound like the sort of people you'd like to spend some time talking to then please get in touch. We like nothing better that to stick our noses into other people's business and have a good chinwag. We're not going to lie, we're in this to make money, for you and us, but a cup of tea with a chocolate biscuit and a chat is free.
About us.

They're out there...
we know you've seen them...

Those agency websites that say, 'above all - business should be fun'. Please. Give us a break - business is hard work. Sometimes our customers want to put a man on the moon, sometimes they just want to get to the end of the week with their sanity intact. We totally understand that, we've been there ourselves.
The fun starts when you're in control of your business or your job and you know there's a team around you that works tirelessly on your behalf to deliver - that's where we come in. Strategic - Got a plan? Got a brief? Got no idea? No worries, we love this bit. We don't need to tell you this, but the brief is King! We can help you - Write it. Challenge it. Question it. Refine it. Fish for it!
Services.
Comunication methods are changing faster today than at any other time in history and our thinking has to change with it. There's no point having a great idea for a marketing tactic, when it doesn't go to the right people at the right time with the right message. We look at the whole picture for you to make sure the activity has meaning and works for you.
If you want the best work, you need the best people, and we've got them. Our design team like brain bending work to stretch their creative muscles, the more difficult the brief the better. So we dare you, no, we double dare you to challenge us and together the sky's the limit.
Let's be honest, most of us fancy ourselves as a bit of a designer, or we know someone who thinks they are. Our design is passionate, award winning but above all hard working and effective. The proof is in the pudding, we'll show you anything you want to see (within reason) and present it at your offices or ours.
On the side of a cow or the bottom of a pineapple, your logo and brand are sacred, as is how it appears and the activity associated with it. Whether you're looking for a tightening of your brands key messages or a new logo, we make sure you have all the tools to give your brand sought after equity and exposure.
Social networking, Linkedin, Facebook - sick of hearing about it? Facebook - "Can't get my bloody kids off if." Sorry to tell you this but there are over 20 million active Facebook accounts in the UK and the fastest growing sector is adults 35-50. Ignore at your peril.
"Fish where the fish are and use the right fly" Search engine marketing - SEO, CPC, PCP, Mumbo Jumbo? Not to us. We know that you want to be number one on Google, have an PPC strategy that works for you and generally make it as easy as possible for web users (which is pretty much everyone) to find you. So let's sit down and talk through how we can accomplish this. It's not easy, but it's everyday for us
On-line, off-line, through-the-line, stuck on the side of a building, pasted on the back of a bus, stamped on fruit , 15 million leaflets printed, put on a palette, shoved on a 26 tonne truck and sent to Hull - we do it.
So here's the deal... positive activity in the community, for the environment and for our children makes your company look great. This can be achieved through a range of actions that will raise your companies' profile and ultimately be beneficial to other people and worthwhile causes.
We'll plan your CSR, organise all logistics and report back on the success of all campaigns. Not to mention the warn, fuzzy feeling you'll feel when your company has genuinely helped someone.
That's pretty isn't it? Well... err...No. Visuals are objective and always divide option, what did you think of the London 2012 logo? Uproar. Love. Tears. Standing ovation - it got it all.
So we've proved you CAN argue with creative, but when creative delivers great ROI - no one argues. Fact. Creating something visually stunning is an art , but managing to combine it with a campaign that achieves its goals is a skill. Luckily, we're got a track record of making both of these happen.
Our crack unit is established yet fresh, much like the SAS. We're made up of some of Her Majesty's finest and we like to think that our flexible approach allows us to match the best team members to each project.
The Team.
Jane Fish Managing director
Jane is actually much taller than she looks and is a founding partner of the Ministry. Before founding the agency she was Client Services Director at diablo Creative and head of marketing for QE2. Jane has 2 beautiful children and works far too hard - she should know better.
Gareth Lloyd Jones Chairman
Gareth is bald. and totally comfortable with it - ALLLRIGHT! Now just leave it. A founding partner of the Ministry, he's been working in agencies since Noah was a boy, former MD of diablo Creative working on Virgin Atlantic, British Gas, HPI, to name but 3. He is Managing Director of Hippo Bag, a business he founded.
Luke Bower Client Services Director
Young talented and enthusiastic. Just the sort of guy you want in your business, OK, so he looks like he's just auditioned for the X-Factor, but don't hold that against him. Luke was the last person Jane recruited at diablo and the first in the Ministry, tells me all I need to know.
Paul Burgess Creative
Deceptively good looking and a dashing creative. Paul was Creative Director at Loewy but fell in love with one of Winchester's most beautiful residents and London's bright lights paled by comparison. Their loss - our luck.
Mark Bailey Creative
Looks like Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and our all round favourite nutte. Former creative director at diablo and innovator of so many of our best-loved and most successful campaigns - moved to the Isle of Wight from London, why would you do that?
Del Hobbs production
Sometimes he can look a bit scary - and actually he is! If you want the impossible done, he'll move heaven and earth to make it happen, just don't ask too many questions about how he did it.
Vickie Robinson Account Manager
Vickie helps Luke with Fish Camera Action! making sure things truly come to life! She loves coke (cans of), brown sugar and bringing in her own coffee - cucumbers are her enemy. If you need something filmed, Vickie's the one who sorts it!
Leah MacSween account executive
Leah is the youngest of the team - damn her! She is a quick learner and brings a fresh and bubbly approach to our work ethic - along with a whole heap of chitter chatter... is she trying to compete with Tessa? Being a beauty therapist in her spare time also has its pluses for the females of the office – manicure at lunchtime anyone?
Adam Berry Creative Director
Adam is our graphic designer, born in Scotland, quick with wit but slow with tea making (we're still waiting...). On a more serious note, with a tonne of creative design experience, Adam is our problem solver and a damn good one at that.
Debby Head account manager
Debby of the Head, the original road runner and ludicrously addicted to chocolate. Irreplaceable member of the team whose armed with a keen eye for detail and a friendly and approachable attitude. Much like a superhero Debby miraculously becomes Web Deb, so look out for her digital guru section of our Monthly e-mailer; the Holy Mackeral.
Tessa Jones Office Manager
Tessa has beautiful curly hair (which we won't allow her to chop of - ok?) and she can talk the hind legs off a donkey - but we wouldn't have her any other way. She started out as an artist, but swiftly moved into a varied carrer of marketing, PR and event management - before bringing her bags of experience to the Ministry, her first agency.
Clients.
We could talk about ourselves all day long but it's only fair we let other people have a go.
It's all about finding marketing people who you can actually work with, someone who can take your passion for your product or service and turn it into a workable campaign that delivers the results you desire. Ministry of fish seems to get it right on all fronts and are able to smile while they are doing it to.
I have been working with Jane for eight years and there's truly no job too big or too small that ministry of fish can't produce for me; from exhibition stands to e-mailers. It's important to know that our marketing agency are rapidly responsive, creative and at the end of the phone wherenever i need them (and if i give them an hour's notice they can be sat with me in my office).
I've known the guys from the ministry for far too long now, not sure how they manage it but they continually provide a first class service, earth shattering ideas and stunning creative.
