What do we do?

Marketing and design are our passions. Along with strategic and tactical marketing planning and implementation, we produce creative, hardworking brochures, catalogues, ads and online collateral for our B2B and B2C clients. We’re on a mission to bring back the art of conversation, so rather than fill our website with lots of blurb, we want to include just enough information to encourage you to get in touch.

If you’d like any more information on our services, give us a call or pop into our Peterborough office for a coffee.

What our clients say

We’re all about honesty so rather than us telling you how great we are, we’ll hand you over to our clients, many of whom we’ve been working with for over 10 years.

The team at Direct Approach Design provide a wonderful blend of professionalism, creativity and customer service to their clients. During our time working with them, each project has been approached with immense enthusiasm and care, with the end results consistently being delivered on time and within budget. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to those looking for a reliable and adaptable agency

Gemma Burnie, Membership Marketing Manager, CIWM

Our fare evasion strategy was a programme of work to professionalise our approach to this important area of our business. The team at DADM didn’t just make it look good, they truly translated the brief into a product that captured that professionalism and, in turn, has helped us make sure that the key people needed to help deliver the strategy are behind it and understand it

Bridget Aherne, Head of Communications, KeolisAmey Metrolink (KAM)

I value Direct Approach as a trusted partner in producing a range of marketing material and content. I know that when I give a brief to the team, I’m employing an intelligent design service which will take my ideas and copy, and come back with solutions which surpass my expectations

Mike Hurst MCIM, Marketing & Communications Manager, Society of Operational Engineers

Thank you to you, and your team, for understanding our needs superbly and transforming them into an amazing looking catalogue

Clare Bowdler, Senior Marketing Executive, Action on Hearing Loss

I have been working with Direct Approach for 13 years now and they never fail to deliver. Whether it’s a full branding exercise or an animated web advert – they do the lot. I don’t need to go anywhere else and they make me look good!

Janine Ramsay, Marketing Manager, William Reed Business Media

We’ve worked with Direct Approach on a range of design concepts and publications and have found the service to be creative, stylish and modern. Their work has helped us develop and enhance our communications to a high standard

Joanna Bromham, Corporate Communications Officer, Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue

Direct Approach are great to work with, we know how passionate they are about our brands and they always push the limits to meet even the toughest of deadlines

Leanne Swift, Brand Manager, Marshalls & Unwins

I briefed Direct Approach to make our point of sale binder pages more hard-working. The carefully thought out solution they provided is proof that they really do understand how to use both design and copy to sell product effectively

Jacqueline Whittaker, Marketing & Communications Manager, Interflora
