Who are we

Introducing Westbrook

Essentially you will find we are a straight talking bunch who actually listen to what you say, who don’t take over in an ‘all or nothing’ manner; we will always show up when asked and listen to what you and your company need; we are literally on hand 24/7 and despite the fact we may be in the bar at 5.31pm on a Friday we know most businesses work 7 days a week and you can always contact one of us. Talk to us and you will find a real understanding of what you require to make your marketing hit the spot.

The years have shown us that clients need simplicity in an all-in-one agency that gives top notch creativity for all their advertising, design, marketing, PR, online and digital needs. We also know now more than ever that every client expects value for money and a no-nonsense approach whatever the size of your organisation.

Philosophy

Honesty, creativity, integrity, professionalism, innovation, a pixel of geeky and a dash of wickedness – none of these in any particular order but all of them given to our clients in appropriate doses.

History

The boss started his time at the bottom of the pile as minion in Fine Company, a cracking agency that later became part of McCann Erickson Leeds. After bouncing from designer to account exec he then took his acquired new skills and set up Westbrook in a pokey top floor office in Ilkely. This new kid on the block picked up some cracking little accounts, Halifax, HBOS included which spurred growth and confidence. The rest as one says ‘is history’, we have kept our heads down, kept loyal, grown with our clients, and constantly adapted to their needs offering bigger and better services all the time.

We have seen 3 babies, 2 marriages, boyfriends and girlfriends come and go (with lots of boxes of tissues), 3 offices, countless keyboards, killed numerous office plants, a seemingly bottomless biscuit tin, technology that just freaks us out, dubious purchases including the George Forman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine (that’s you Mark), staff from everywhere from Scotland to Sri Lanka, clients from Brazil to Mumbai, and this is just in the first 15 years of us growing up, so just think what we have to come in the next 15 years….
